    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.

    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
