This is a really interesting one! I notice that there are 2 very distinct colors on what I assumed are the different roasts. The flavors are also unique. This is the first time I've gotten a clear note of something like soy sauce or fish sauce in a coffee.

Never got it
This should be a credit on my account and you were supposed to send the next in my queue asap but that didn’t happen
I’m not sure why on multiple levels mistobox seems to be failing
This finally did come but oddly they're choosing to leave the Roast date blank so there really no way of knowing other than the coffee definitely being less fresh

very strong but lacks flavor to me

I have only made coffee once with these beans but really like it!

Love the brightness
11/6/2024
Solid, but not quite as good as the Onyx Tropical Weather.
11/3/2024
Nice Balanced medium roast
11/1/2024
We liked it quite a lot. It had a nice chocolatey-caramely flavor. Would love to see a bit more fruity coffee next.
10/17/2024
Buttery body, getting the candied orange, I found it tricky to dial in. Overall good.
8/29/2024
Great, smooth coffee.
8/26/2024
Bright, flavorful
8/23/2024
It was interesting and a great start.
8/18/2024
Good balanced coffee. Slightly too much bitter lemon for me.
8/2/2024
We would rank this third out of the four we have tried, we think beans from Rwanda might be our preference but still open to trying things similar to the first two in particular :) light-medium blends seem to be preferable as well

A great breakfast cup. Made with French press, 26g beans, 400g water on coarse grind. Not super bright, more chocolate and brown sugar notes than citrus but perfect for a comforting morning coffee! Also wanted to note that the tasting notes on the bag are different than what’s listed here. The bag I got listed notes of candied orange peel and mulling spices.
5/12/2024
A lively lemon like acidity and a full body. A subdued and earthy sweetness pair with a green pepper and bakers chocolate aromatic and a dry, tea like finish.
4/30/2024
Delicious!
4/17/2024
3.5/5 Heavy Chocolate with nutty notes. Still pretty complex for a medium roast. Lemon flavors are discernible and you can dial the citrus up by playing with grind/extraction. This is a darker roast than I would normally prefer, but I wouldn’t be opposed to getting it again.
4/4/2024
Smooth, very drinkable. Not noticeably acidic, which I enjoy. Overall a very nice daily cup of coffee to start my day
4/3/2024
Just taste bitter to me, do not get lemon or chocolate
3/20/2024
not very bright tbh. a good cup to start the day. "I like it" - Noah

Brew Type: Pourover
Grind Size: Medium-Fine
With this being the first bag from Mistobox, I think this is great starting point, setting the bar for more comparisons with other coffees. Giving 4/5 because it was enjoyable, but with it being my first bag, not sure what to compare to and really not sure what a 5/5 would be at this point.
Preferred grinding on the finer side of the pourover spectrum, trying to bring out a little more of the citrus which i really enjoyed and i think had a good a balance of "brightness" without being too sour. Even when going with a courser grind, the coffee never got bitter, it was just harder for me to taste the citrus flavors.

Love this! A go-to in our house.
1/7/2024
Very good notes of lemon and chocolate!
1/4/2024
Good blend, I’m still playing with the portions I’ve been using but the flavor is good! I wouldn’t be opposed to trying something similar or the next one being a completely different profile to try!
1/2/2024
Not good, did not like the fruity notes
12/26/2023
Huh, I don't even taste the orange, lemon, and chocolate HA. On the positive, it's delicious. I don't think I ground the beans well enough, but I'm enjoying a cup of LSD in the am.
12/13/2023
Nice balance of acidity and richness
11/6/2023
Very smooth cup of coffee, not big flavor notes, but perfect for the first cup of the day
9/30/2023
Crisp, but not tangy. Definitely taste the notes of chocolate and citrus.
9/10/2023
Loved the bright notes and chocolate notes on this one
7/26/2023
I thought this coffee was too light. I prefer a heavier body and even after increasing the amount of coffee per cup as well as grinding the coffee more finely than I prefer, I was not able to get the body and flavor out of it that I hoped.
7/20/2023
Very smooth and yummy
6/26/2023
Not bitter at all. Mild and refreshing.
5/3/2023
I enjoyed the lemon curd sweetness and chocolate. Nice flavor
4/30/2023
Poor qc, lots of under and over roasted beans, very inconsistent size. Flavor not impressive
4/24/2023
It's so good! My husband, who doesn't drink a lot of coffee even agreed it was one of the best we've ever had. Nailed it.
4/22/2023
So far we have tried it as espresso and pour over and have enjoyed our cup of coffee.
4/12/2023
the milk chocolate notes dominate, but this is really an interesting blend, complex, bright
4/10/2023
Is there a way to limit the coffee I receive to only while beans? This one was great, but it was ground coffee.
4/1/2023
Loved how light it is. The smell is amazing. Gave 4 stars because it is my first time trying a subscription, so I am excited to see what else is out there!
3/15/2023
Smooth and not too bitter
3/12/2023
Subtle flavor, or maybe I'm not used to light roast? I usually drink medium roast but wanted to try something different. It's ok, initially I drank it with milk and was disappointed with how subtle the flavor was but now I'm drinking it black and it's much better.
2/27/2023
Good, not amazing. A bit too light maybe?
2/4/2023
Loved this one! Definitely a lighter roast but not too acidic.
2/1/2023
Weak tasting and bitter
1/18/2023
This coffee is so good. I love chocolate and lemon curd. You hit the nail on the head.
1/14/2023
Absolutely adored the packaging, however I found the flavor is a bit acidic. I am not sure if this is because of the bean or if I’m brewing my espresso wrong, hence the overall good review.
12/29/2022
One of my favorites, it can be a bit difficult to get the flavor right but when you do it’s amazing
12/20/2022
Don't get a lot of light roasts and this was a refreshing change of pace. Balanced.
8/29/2022
this really hit the spot
8/23/2022
Too citrus
7/26/2022
Emily liked. Michael did not.

6/16/2022
It was ok, not usually a fan of blends but decided to give it a shot. After experimenting with ratios and brew methods i concluded that it’s fine but lacked a bit of clarity in the taste.
6/14/2022
Loved this! And love a local roaster, too :) Definitely one I really love.
3/22/2022
Very odd combination, but somehow it worked. Loved how it smelled (they should make a candle that smells like this).
3/7/2022
Chemex brewed, encore grind at 20. Really enjoyed the bright acidity of this one. I didn't taste milk chocolate but it wasn't missed.
2/4/2022
Good coffee, but fairly generic "coffee" taste. Not a lot of complex flavors come through.
12/7/2021
Loved it!! Loved lemon curds!?
10/1/2021
Intense on first brew, maybe too many beans
7/6/2021
Nice acidity that makes the mouth water but not too bitter. Clean taste but not much depth. More milk than milk chocolate on the finish. Decent but not memorable.
6/30/2021
Too bitter
6/20/2021
This is amazing! Would love to see similar notes in the future. Doesn’t taste ‘roasted.’
6/9/2021
I love this one, more like this please. Made with French Press. Drank black.
6/4/2021
Wonderful! Brewed with Chemex just about 5 min. Water temp 96. Grind 20 on my Baratza encore. Maybe slightly over-extracted so will try a little courser grind tomorrow. Love this one so far.
4/22/2021
This coffee is good but not amazing, overall it's very "non offensive" (light flavor) and easy to drink. I don't love any of the flavors and it is a little "buttery" for me. I rate this 4 stars because I am happy to drink it but I don't love it like the last one.
3/28/2021
Would love more blends like this one -- it was divine!
2/17/2021
tasty! sharp and tangy, but well-balanced
1/19/2021
Very good, could be had anytime without getting tired, as drip coffee.
12/17/2020
Great flavor profile!
12/12/2020
Not too much roast, good mouthfeel
12/2/2020
Really nice drinkable blend. The lemon notes weren’t as notable as I expected
11/29/2020
This was my favorite coffee so far. It is perfectly balanced i.e. not too acidic, great taste.
Any brands that are more like this one would be amazing :)

Dried out quickly on the bag over 30 day period. Noticeable around day 8.
11/25/2020
Love the flavor without it being too overwhelming.
10/11/2020
This one did not have the chocolate flavor I really wanted.
10/7/2020
Did not like as much as the first coffee (Populace House Blend), still working on being able to describe specifics.
Not sure if this matters for taste but I did notice that the beans didn't look as nice in terms of consistency in size, shape, color. Somewhat shriveled.

Little too much chocolate flavor
9/24/2020
I just personally didn't love it, it was too acidic and biter taste. I ended up mixing it with other more mild beans to use.
9/22/2020
Lemon notes were Surprising. Enjoyed this one.
9/15/2020
I loved the flavor of this coffee and how strong it was.
9/10/2020
This one was a bit too citrusy for me
