Bitter. Tastes like Starbucks.

Never, ever send these coffee roasters! I drink only seasonal coffee. Second, some of the beans are lighter, some darker(almost black). Third, are you crazy?! I would never drink a dark roast!

Bit too roasted for my liking.

Overroasted, too dark.

The coffee itself is not bad, I just really don’t like dark roasts.

Not as much flavor as I was expecting, typically Sumatra is one of my favorites. I just didn't get the earthiness that I normally get from a Sumatra in this one.

Not a fan of dark roast.

Not one of my top picks, but it was pretty good. I'd get it again.

Well balanced earthy beans with the right amount of complexity.

The coffee is not bad, it’s just that i do not prefer dark roast. (Have it in my profile that i prefer light roast). I have had Higher Ground before and i enjoy their coffee.

I like this but am disappointed to be getting repeats after only receiving a few bags

Too dark. I changed the specifications in my profile to highlight I want a light or light-medium roast.

Hits the right balance of earthy and smooth. Never got burnout or flavor fatigue

Verrr good.

We LOVED this!! Dark, full bodied but so smooth. My boyfriend said as he drank the first cup, “can we get more of this?!”

Not my taste at all! Even though it is a high quality coffee and the e beans look beautiful I just don’t appreciate the dark roast flavor I guess... so if you’re like me and prefer light to medium steer clear of this one

Like the bold, smoky flavors and it does work well with a bit of milk but not entirely my favorite mug of coffee.
7/11/2020
It’s a good blend, but I don’t like when coffee has a lot of acidity to it
5/18/2020
Not for me. Tried brewing this one so many different ways but I just never liked it. Not sure why you sent another Sumatra after I rated the last one poorly. I won’t be renewing my subscription.

Good is the death of great.

I typically like Sumatran coffees, and was expecting a deep earthiness. This one didn't really have a lot going. Not sure if the bag was a little old, or the coffee was just generally lacking character. I definitely didn't suck, and I loved the Peruvian coffee I had from this producer A LOT! I would try them again.

Def fav

Something has been going wrong here. I asked for light to medium roast and this is the second dark roast in a row you have sent. Also, you have sent me Higher roast twice in a row. what's going on is that you are confusing me with my children and brother who i purchased gifts. I don't want the second Higher Ground you just sent me since i just finished the last one and didn't like it much. Please send me another instead of Higher Ground.

1/11/2019
I did not like this one. Maybe too much of the earthy notes
11/30/2018
Aroma is fantastic. Rich cup of coffee. Sumatra is one of my all time faves and this delivered.

We would like to try some coffee from Guatemala. Thx.

good but not complex

WOW! Amazing taste, but with a kick of caffeine that set my heart racing — literally. I had to cut down to one shot of this in the AM.
