Here's a refined version of your coffee review:
Complex Indonesian coffee with a funky, herbal edge that's surprisingly balanced and smooth. Notable flavors include a hint of gooseberry and kiwi, along with subtle notes of freeze-dried strawberry. Unique and enjoyable. Works as espresso and pourover. I think it's especially good iced.Cupping Method:I was actually a little bit annoyed by the greater goods website which somehow sent me this as an espresso ground. I worked around it though, and the coffee is good enough so that it still tasted anmazing in all formats.

My wife loved this espresso for her lattes, and the rest of my family also really liked it. I spent awhile trying to dial-in for myself and got very good espresso but never something truly sensation. I get that a fair amount with cafe style blends. Since they need to versatile enough to go with milk, they can't be bursting with some of the acidity and complexity. That said, this has very good depth of chocolate flavor, an interesting molasses character, and some blackberry fruitiness, with a long dark chocolate linger.
It's quite good while being versatile at the same time. It pulled a nice crema even after 30-40 days, and had good balance and mouthfeel.

This is a solid roast. It was gone before I figured out the tasting notes, so it must have been good! A little tart and a little sweet.Cupping Method:espresso, no cream or sweetener

This roast packs a nice punch. Strong flavor throughout, with a flavor profile leaning towards blueberry, accompanied by a slightly tart (and sweet) acidity.Cupping Method:Pourover, with no cream or sweetener

This was a smooth, drinkable, versatile decaf. It pulled good espresso shots, dark chocolate, a little nuttiness, and some plum/blackberry acidity. It also made good pourover with similar character. I used it for affogatos but ended up preferring a little darker roast decaf that I had on hand. This is a type of decaf I like to have around, versatile in the medium roast range, and very easy to drink. It's a great complimentary type espresso/pourover for a dessert.
