Noah –
This is an excellent coffee bean. I received a medium roast and it tended to be slightly on the lighter side of medium, and was excellent (considering I’m not a big light roast fan). The flavor notes are accurate and I noticed a little bit of a citrus pop at the end (which was pleasant). Strong crema and dark body pull with this one. I recommend.
