    I don't have a ton of information on this roast, but boy, was it good. I think it's an out-of-stock roast, and the tail end of it happened to be included in the Green Kettle Connecticut advent calendar. It showcases the talent of this roaster, though. Gorgeous aroma of rich cocoa on the grind.

    This is an exceptionally smooth coffee with notes of strongly brewed black tea, honey, and citrus, in the Valencia orange range. It's a very clean finish. Almost no bitterness and almost too easy to drink. It was gone in an instant and now I'm super buzzed!

    A balanced, well-executed, prototypical washed Ethiopian with a touch of floral, a lot of natural sweetness, and ripe peach flavor. It's very bright and juicy, but didn't necessarily get tropical or red fruit like the roaster suggested. It's not very complex or acidic, but extremely smooth and extremely clean.

    A pleasant plummy and smooth medium roast. Sweet with chocolate.
