Review:
The coffee is a dark roast. With that in mind, it has pretty bold flavors with notes of dark chocolate and cocoa nibs. It is smoky with a little bit of ashy undertones due to slight over-development. The coffee ends with a dry finish which I kind of liked given that dark roasts are pretty oily. Loved the aroma of this coffee which reminded me of the dark roasts which popular cafe chains are known to serve. Not fruity. Not acidic. Just your plain old french roast.
Best for: French Press, South Indian Filter, Mokapot
Worst for: Pourover
Pro tips:
Food pairing becomes an important aspect in enjoying dark roasts. Use biscuits to cut, complement, contrast and comfort with the bitterness of this coffee
Use coarser grinds for a cleaner body
Final verdict: Buy if you intend to use it with milk or prefer a Starbucks-like french press coffee
