This Cafe Kreyol Organic Bolivia Selva Verde pulls a delicious, lively espresso with a medium but fluffy crema. Deep chocolate notes with a little nuttiness and acidity. A lot of natural sweetness and full-bodied mouthfeel. It has a wonderful clean chocolate linger that sticks to the mouth a bit. More deeply delicious than complex.
Also works well as filter drinking smooth and chocolate. Just a delicious and versatile coffee that's on the fairly traditional spectrum but has deeply developed flavors and wonderful mouthfeel.
Also organic and super thoughtfully farmed. Highly recommend for medium roast lovers looking for a versatile roast.Cupping Method:I got a sample of this from Delonghi at the New York Coffee Festival.

One of, if not, the best coffees I've ever had. Blind tasted out of the Angel's Cup "Black" Gesha box, which I got as a gift for Christmas in January of 2023. We ordered another bag and it was consistent with the Angel's Cup tasting.
Where to start, incredible complexity. Honeysuckle, peach, jasmine tea. Acidity is perfect. Structure is perfect, almost like the finest wine that evolves in your mouth.Cupping Method:Chemex pourover, 207 degrees F.

This roast has a strong, nutty, coffee flavor with a full body. Nicely balanced with a sweet acidity that hints of caramel and chocolate with a surprise touch of citrus.Cupping Method:Vietnamese drip

Blind tasting. Very floral, a lot of tea characteristics. Definitely get the melon. Pretty complex. I will say maybe more interesting than my favorite Geshas in some ways. I dont know the balance/structure/acidity came together. Interesting to find out after blind cupping this was from Cafe Kreyol - their Geisha Spirit might have been the best coffee I had in 2022.Cupping Method:Chemex pourover

Very lightly roasted, almost blonde on visual, easy to drink coffee with low acidity for a light roast. Maple syrup, black tea from the platform with grapefruit zest and a hint of lemongrass. A salted caramel hint lingers in the background and depending on your view may be too savory.Cupping Method:V60 Hario pourover
