Final Impression
Summary:
I’m not entirely sure what to think about this roast. Some beans appear underdeveloped, others look green or like quakers, while some seem overly developed—and sometimes all of this appears within the same bean. The more roasted beans bring subtle tobacco and smoky aromas in the background. The beans vary considerably in size, though they are not small; some are noticeably larger than others. The coffee is relatively aromatic, with a profile that would easily appeal to those who enjoy “coffee that tastes like coffee,” as there are not many eccentric or unusual notes compared to conventional coffee. The beverage that can be achieved with these beans is of high quality, with acceptable clarity and a defined, enjoyable flavor, certainly reaching the level expected in specialty cafés and beans in the country. However, I found the overall value for money less convincing, as the bag was quite expensive. I have purchased outstanding African coffees that were more affordable than this one.
