    Small Beans, Big Flavor

    The perfect start-your-day morning classic breakfast coffee. Rich, dark and superb.

    rich bottom with plenty fruit

    Rich bottom notes with plenty fruit —but aromatics are fully enmeshed within the mouthfeel. for me, it is once again outstanding.

    Insanely Beautiful

    Sometimes single origins can be disappointing for me. But I opened this bag this a.m. and the first cup I brewed in my V60 was spot on. It hits with floral, bright clarity, and a full juicy mouth feel. These are my favorite coffee qualities in a pour over.

    I recently watched one of James Hoffman's latest videos on You-Tube where he describes the emotional aspect of a great cup of coffee--sadness and anticipation. That was me this morning when I finished this-- sad that the poetry was over so quickly, and anticipating the enjoyment of many mornings ahead.

    Made me happy to drink coffee again

    I’ve been buying grocery store brand coffee ever since our local coffee roaster moved away. This yirgacheffe made me remember why I love coffee.

    Heathen’s review

    Strong peachy flavor up front with tobacco notes on the back end, and an aftertaste that hints of dry red wine. Brighter and more complex than a lot of single origins I’ve tried. Goes best with your favorite ‘cream’, in this heathen’s opinion.
