    Smooth and flavorful

    It has a smooth body with bright citrus notes, a hint of sweetness, and a clean, crisp finish. The aroma is rich and inviting, making it perfect for pour-over, drip, or French press brewing. If you enjoy high-quality, single-origin coffee with a bright yet smooth profile, this one is a must-try!

    If you know good coffee then this is for you

    This coffee is the real deal folks, ignore the poor reviews as those people don't know what to expect from a good coffee bean and roasting company. This coffee, the Costa Rican Reserve Tarrazu, is worth every penny and more. It is smooth and rich in real coffee flavor, delicious to the last drop.

    Excellent coffee and accurate description of freshness

    Pleasantly surprised by the excellent flavor and freshness of this coffee (Costa Rica, Tarrazu Reserve). The coffee was delivered within a week of the indicated roasting date, which is not bad considering it is being delivered through a large, complicated supply chain.
