Emily
I like everything about this one except the bag. Which has nothing to do with the coffee itself but is annoying.

The depth and smoothness are fantastic. No bitter aftertaste but plenty of flavor. 2nd favorite so far to the first one we received, Temple blend.

Christopher
I really liked this one. I enjoyed the almond and earthiness as an espresso, and the nougat really come through in latte macchiatos. Delightful
2/4/2023

Keenan
Just ok with this one. Has some sour notes on the nose we don’t love. Interesting and glad to try but not a fave.
12/15/2022

Gary
Seemed much more like a straight up dark roast than the description suggests.
8/29/2022

Kurt
This is mislabeled. It should be labeled a 'dark' coffee. It tastes charred like a Starbucks bean.
6/27/2022

Nick
Too dark and bitter for my taste
6/12/2022

Joseph
LOVE
4/6/2022

Jeff
I enjoyed this coffee. It was bold and chocolate-like. More pronounced flavors than other medium roasts.
11/26/2021

Brendan
This is the best coffee I've received from Mistobox. Can you please send more?
12/5/2020

Kyle
Didn’t like the tobacco flavor.
11/30/2020

Shaad
I liked this but not completely blown away. Aroma was decent but the flavor does not come through.
11/21/2020

Nathanael
Very blah. Not specifically bad but very unexciting.
11/17/2020

George
Very nice, smooth, rich flavor profile. It started to loose it's punch after the first 1.5 weeks though despite being kept in an air tight container.

We were a big fan of this one.
7/24/2020

Rob
Taste's like coffee
7/10/2020

John
Earthy, but little herbal or spice notes. More wet charcoal.
6/8/2020

David
This one tasted like a dark roast and lately I’ve been favoring citrus flavors
5/13/2020

Suzie
A nice change, but it was a little darker than I usually like.
4/25/2020

Trung
Too dark for my liking
2/27/2020

Lauren
Not our favorite, has some funk to it
1/21/2020

Jonathan
Too dark, oily beans and very few tasting notes
1/13/2020

Justin
Definitely my least favorite coffee I've been sent over the past year. Not sure why. Tried french press and chemex with multiple techniques and grind sizes. This one is just not for me right now.
12/8/2019

Brian
Earthy, full body, mud
10/31/2019

Paul
This coffee is 100% a dark roast and not a medium roast. If you're into that sortof thing, this is probably good? But I basically just taste the roast and only a little bit of the coffee. The roast level should be updated here.
7/17/2019

Brian
Not the bittery lite roast I like. Basic.
4/6/2019

Joe
This is a dark roast coffee labeled as a medium roast. I gave it a chance and made a cup, but it was disappointing. This bag is going into the trash. Bummer.
11/30/2018

Jacob
A little bit of an odd aftertaste but overall not bad
11/23/2018

Bradford
This struck me as a good Sumatran coffee, but I think these earthy flavors are not so much for me.
10/25/2018

Bradford
This was a good Sumatran coffee. I think that the earthier flavors aren't so much for me, though.
9/25/2018

Rebecca
Flavor notes of tree bark and juniper—basically, I dread drinking this coffee every morning
9/21/2018

Jonathan
These beans were okay. We tended to have a difficult time picking up on most of the tasting notes, though, and ended up just coming away with a "full bodied" taste.
8/25/2018

Adam
Not a big fan of this one
8/21/2018

Julien
I'm sorry but this coffee doesn't correspond to the profile I subscribed to. It's a dark and very oily roast — I don't understand how it could've been classified as a medium roast. Feels cheap and tastes like most generic "local roaster". Very disappointed.
7/12/2018

Stephanie
Too Dark for out taste. Say's medium but it's a dark roast.
6/7/2018

Alexander
The roast is WAY too dark. I've selected medium and light roast coffees. Not sure why I received this.
5/15/2018

Benjamin
Rich, full coffee with subtle vegetal tasting notes. Darker roast than I prefer.
5/8/2018

Erin
Did not like this one at all! It tasted burnt and came out like sludge.
4/26/2018

annette
although this was labeled a medium roast the taste was like a dark roast, just not for me. Very disappointed I have changed the way I brewed it (pour-over and chemex) but it did not help the flavor. unfortunately I do not look forward to brewing my cup of coffee. Hope the next selection is better
3/15/2018

Connor
Not a huge fan. Flavor reminded me of a dark roast, meaning there wasn’t much flavor to it. Kind of burnt taste to most of the cups I brewed.
3/11/2018

Micaela
Definitely an earthy coffee. It makes for a great "wake me up" cup, but without bitterness or a pungent flavor.
2/19/2018

Andrew
I enjoyed this coffee but once again I am not a big fan of darker roast beans. I will admit the color of the beans was very intense and dark but the flavor did not match the intensity. It was very smooth and rather mild. I enjoyed the fudge, chocolate, and earthy flavors but I truly enjoy more fruity and floral flavors in my coffee.
2/1/2018

Andrew
I think this one is just a little too dark of a roast for me.
1/25/2018

Aaron
I don't hate it at all, but very earthy and full mouth feel.
1/19/2018

Mike
Not one of my favorites; probably my least favorite out of all the ones I’ve received thus far.
1/6/2018

Nick
do not like dark roasts
1/4/2018

James
One of my favorite coffees from you, ever. Terrific body, classic notes, some spice. Grind it course than you normally would and be rewarded
1/1/2018

James
There have been some coffees from Mistobox that I haven't enjoyed as much as others simply because of personal preference but this was the only one I can honestly say is bad. The beans are so darkly roasted they're practically burned and I couldn't taste anything like what the tasting notes suggest because of that.

I'm not sure if I perhaps just got a bad batch or it was mislabeled but if not, I would not recommend this coffee to others.
12/30/2017

Eric
Not a lot of character to this one. Definitely some herbal, even tea-like character, but mostly just muddled and uninspired. Some have commented that it's too darkly roasted, but to me it doesn't have the sweetness or richness of a good dark roast. I think it's a relatively flavorless bean and the roast level isn't suited to it. Just not a very interesting coffee in my opinion.
12/29/2017

Athar
I don’t think this one is for me. Just couldn’t get into the dark flavor palate of this one
12/25/2017

claire
WOWZA this is fabulous. I could have this again!! It's got great depth of flavor and I can taste different things at different times. Must be magic
11/19/2017

Marisa
Coffee is too dark and oily for me. It overtakes the flavor.
10/21/2017

steve
Love...Sumatra is the best coffee in my opinion.
10/11/2017

Jihye
It pairs well with milk! Nutty and bold flavor.
10/4/2017

Amanda
I really disliked this coffee. Honestly, what I tasted more than earthy and herbal was a burnt and bitter flavor. I usually like the coffees I get from Mistobox, so it was disappointing
10/2/2017

Evelynn
I enjoyed this coffee
9/26/2017

Jonathan
It's alright, but I preferred Sumatra Ketiara from Klatch Coffee
9/10/2017

Benjamin
This is too much of a darker roast for my drip coffee preference, but it worked out ok to use as a lighter espresso.
9/8/2017

Ryan
tastes like a dark roast to me. definitely earthy and full bodied if you like that. it's thick. personally, not my cup of "tea".
8/29/2017

Troy
Pretty good. Earthy, nice almost sweet flavors & full bodied
8/17/2017

Brad
Nice balanced everyday cup. Nothing amazing but light years ahead of something you'd buy off the shelf at the store.
8/8/2017

Nick
Solid - not as good as the Columbia Tolima. That was a 4.5, this is a 4.0. Really good iced.
8/7/2017

T.J.
Sumatra's aren't my thing. FULL Bodied. Earthy tones are mostly specific to mouth feel for me.
8/7/2017

Kolby
Very earthy and well rounded
8/6/2017

Jack
This has a great earthy taste with hints of spices. It may be a bit over roasted but overall a good cup.
8/2/2017

Ryan
tastes like a dark roast to me. definitely earthy and full bodied if you like that. it's thick. personally, not my cup of "tea".
8/2/2017

Andrew
Very good Sumatran. However, I'm not a dark coffee guy. Would love to try something a bit lighter from Caffe Vita!
7/26/2017

Austin
We found this coffee to be simply too dark for our tastes.
7/25/2017

Chaya
Muddy and burnt and overoasted. First truly undrinkable batch I've received
7/25/2017

Jason
Good tasty cup, but not as dark as our personal tastes like. You can definitely taste the herbal/spice notes as well as maybe a hint of nuttyness.
7/24/2017

Krikor
Like the last one, it tastes harsh and burned. I might be learning that the descriptor "earthy" is synonymous with burnt.
7/24/2017

Meghan
It's too earthy
7/19/2017

Philip
The coffee beans were almost black, they were roasted too much.
7/19/2017

Aaron
too roasty
7/16/2017

Sawyer
Way too dark of a roast for me, none of the flavor notes are even noticeable, almost tastes burned.
7/6/2017

Stephanie
The full-bodied taste of Sumatra Gayo River is PERFECT for what we like in the morning. Robust, rich, aromatic, and wakes you up in the morning without wanting you to spit it out from over-roast or sludge feel. This is one of my favorites for sure.
7/1/2017

Will
This is definitely not the flavor profile we enjoy most. I realize this is a dark roast "Sumatra" bean, but the aroma and taste read as almost burnt.
6/28/2017

Jayne
This is one of my favorites from a great roaster. Happy to see it available on Mistobox !
6/24/2017

Sebastian
Way to toasted, bitter
6/23/2017

Tyler
I'm not a big fan of sumatrans, this one wasn't bad considering.
6/19/2017

chas
Need another coupla stars on this. Note to self: Buy again.
Another note to self (7.29): Buy again and again

Jeffrey
I liked this coffee a lot, it was simple but it had a good satisfying coffee taste
6/12/2017

Ashley
Beautiful coffee!
5/31/2017

hal
I like the earthy taste, but this roast just taste watered down. As a trained barista, I've tried all the tricks to no avail.

Please don't send this again.
5/28/2017

Jason
It's true that this does give a syrupy feeling in the mouth. Dark, very aromatic.
5/27/2017

Donny
This was a big miss for me. Hops is not a flavor I like at all and this cup was very unpleasant, using both the chemex and kalita. I had issues with the bloom never reducing which made for a very uneven bed or, in the case o f the kalita, grounds flowing past the filter.
5/26/2017

Lucia
The hometown roaster is always good, regardless of roast!
