Truly complex, yet subtle.

Very good

A muddy cup that doesn't have flavor. Boring.

I have never had a bad Equator coffee and this one is as amazing as all the others I've had. Plum and Earl Grey is a good description. It's like a warm comforting hug

Wasn't able to dial-in any fullness in the cup with this one. Muted/muddied flavors in most of the cups.

Smooth and complex

I love it

Nice cup. Didn't present as tea-like as I was hoping, but it was certainly refreshing in the multiple ways I've prepared it so far, Pour-Over, French Press, and Aeropress. Again, I think if I had a better grinder I might have better results.

Very good! Love the fruitiness and the "vibrancy," whatever that means.

Great washed coffee

Much darker than expected. Not a fan. Upset stomach and had to toss it. Please don’t send again

Over just regular - just straight coffee taste though it was smooth
5/21/2024
The currant was a little much in this particular brew.
5/13/2024
Plum and citrus, grapefruit. Little bit of chocolate on the finish.
5/12/2024
Solid coffee, flavor was a bit milder than I would have liked.
5/4/2024
Pretty good
4/27/2024
Easy drinking morning coffee
4/27/2024
Solid coffee, very earthy and floral. Interesting.
4/26/2024
Was having trouble brewing this to get the real nuanced flavors, but it was a good coffee
4/24/2024
Really enjoyed this one as an aeropress, even more as a v60, but most as an espresso shot! Such rich and full bodied plum. Silky smooth and well balanced. Not easy to nail fruit like that, Equator did an amazing job!

It smells great but keeps brewing under-extracted
4/16/2024
Great
4/15/2024
Tastes like bourbon
4/14/2024
I didn't mind, but expected to like it more coming from Rwanda. Also it didn't mix well with milk (per Gabby)
4/10/2024
Very hearty

I was not expecting to like this one. I mean I do love Earl Grey tea, but thought a note of in my coffee would not be a great combo. Happy to say I was wrong. I can definitely taste the note. Coffee is smooth and tasty both in a v60 and aeropress. Would be 5 stars if I could bring out just a bit more coffee strength in the taste.
