I've been using this super tasty, well-balanced Colombian as an espresso. It's more dynamic than it sounds. Nutty at the beginning, a slightly salty chocolate, naturally sweet. Just a touch of blackberry but clean acidity wise.Cupping Method:95C pulls on La Spaziale. Made lattes, iced Americano, and straight sipping espresso. Especially liked the Americano. My wife liked the latte. I got it from Trade.

Just a really good can of Snapchill cold crew here. Nothing fussy or complicated. Light but balanced with strawberry, rhubarb, and citrusy notes. Ita crisp and delicious fruitiness. Nice natural sweetness in the brown sugar range.
The Snapchill process just does such an amazing process preserving the complexity and nuance of the coffee. Highly recommend!Cupping Method:Snapchill vertical tasting!

The first whiff hit me with the sensation of smelling flowers, and the first taste followed suite. It mellowed out throughout the sip and ended on a refreshingly sweet note. I loved that this drink was both super smooth and a little bizarre in the flavor world. This was my favorite of 7 canned cold brews I tasted today.Cupping Method:black, iced

I had a rare (for me) cappuccino at the New York Coffee Festival made with this roast at the Minor Figures oat milk booth. It was so good that it made me a fan of both. On my list to try more of this roaster. -
