    This is a very easy-to-drink African blend, especially once cool, that is very smooth. I don't get a lot of complexity, and there may be some lingering notes some folks one like (but they are very light). Something like a grapefruit rind or licorice. The licorice to me was a hint of black, not red as Barismo's tasting notes indicated. I think you have to be a specialty coffee flavor squinter to pick it up. The acidity and complexity are on the low side. Reminds me of a solid breakfast blend in a lot of ways.

More Details

Roast Level: Light Medium
A Light Medium Roast coffee, sometimes referred to as a "City Roast" or "American Roast," lies between a light and medium roast. This roast level strikes a balance by preserving the coffee bean's unique characteristics while allowing for a moderate development of body and flavor. The beans have a medium brown color, exhibiting a slight sheen of oils, providing a more balanced and nuanced flavor profile. A Light Medium Roast typically highlights the coffee's inherent fruity, floral, or citrus notes, while also providing some of the deeper, richer flavors associated with medium roasts.
Bean Source Country: African Blend
African blend coffee is a combination of coffee beans from different African regions, such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda. Many regions in Africa have distinct characteristics, and the best African blends harmonize those traits.
