Amazing. Best coffee I've been sent so far.

Wish I could return it. Funky flavor bad aftertaste. First shipment I didn’t care for

Smooth flavor but not bold enough. I would call it mild-med roast
8/20/2021
Slight chocolate taste, mostly coffee flavored.

Best of all the coffees I've gotten in two different subscription runs. Good, fresh flavor and consistent grind. It is my new go-to coffee.

We love this coffee. It has a great flavor without any butter aftertaste. We would buy this one again.

A little on the bitter side and never really tasted the notes i typically find in other roasts from Sumatra.

The taste is too strong for us
9/14/2018
Full bodied and I enjoy the spices. A little too earthy for my palette. Smell is beautiful!
8/21/2018
Terrible Coffee. Way too dark and too many profiles
8/7/2018
Nicely earthy but still fairly balanced. While I enjoy this one, I wouldn't mind something a touch more fruity.

Definitely do not like Sumatra beans they are very similar to Columbian I am not liking the strong taste similar to a dark roast.

Really enjoying this coffee. Yesterday my coffee aroma had notes of leather (in the good way). The flavors I picked up was some sort if spice trying to narrow it down. Really enjoying this one it brings back memories of when I first started drinking coffee 10 years ago Sumatra was one of our go to coffees with my roommates.

This was another bold and dark roast coffee that had a smoother finish compared to the Sumatra Gayo River beans. I very much enjoyed this coffee.
2/19/2018
Solid consistency, but it's SO dark - and I like dark coffee. I'd also say that there's not much flavor depth. It tastes a little burnt.
2/12/2018
This is an excellent espresso. Very rich and full and very well balanced. Perfect for a cortado or machiatto, but also wonderful as a straight espresso as well.
2/12/2018
It tasted like a very dark roast which is not my preferred style. It also seemed very one dimensional to me, not a lot of layers to the flavor lie with lighter roasts.
1/8/2018
There's nothing novel about this coffee but it performs well as just a great, classic cup of coffee. Being fairly regular and balanced also makes it nice for periodically adding other flavours to the coffee like cardamom and cinnamon.

Strong flavor. Good with aero press
12/18/2017
Absolutely a delight! Loved the full bodiedness but still kept it subtle where it needs to be. A new favorite.
12/17/2017
every month the selection gets better and better. thank you!
12/11/2017
TOO DARK/SHARP FOR US.
12/3/2017
Meh. Strong without much flavor.
11/27/2017
Please DO not ship this one again as we didn't enjoy it at all
11/25/2017
This is a really good Sumatra. Enjoyed this one much more than the Columbian I had previously
