Rabbit Hole Roasters Reviews

This coffee was great!

Very good! Not the fanciest Gesha but tasty.

Fruity and good iced!

I don't drink a lot of Thai coffee so this one took a little bit of getting used and a touch to dial-in. Although I didn't actually change that much in my various iterations, so maybe it's more me.

Rabbit Hole has fantastic tasting notes, and pomegranate and green apples are spot on. They aren't sharply acidic as you would get in the fruit, but definitely detectable. It's very sweet and just slightly funky. It's perhaps a little herbaceous in a neutral way. Overall, and an interesting and fun coffee.

Cupping Method:Part of 7 coffees I ordered from Rabbit Hole this month. 195-197F range, 18:1 ratio, Hario v60.

Balanced, clean coffee with exceptional mouthfeel and hits the roaster's notes nicely (peach, vanilla, floral). Peach sweet tea character overall. Peach acidity is really nice. Very smooth. Limited complexity but a nice easy drinker.

Cupping Method:V60 and Chemed, 197F worked well, 18:1. Had a 100g bag.

Good but I like some of the other RH roasts more.

Guiben, a region in Yunnan province, China, is known for its coffee production, though it's more famous for high-quality teas. Its ideal climate, altitude, and rich biodiversity make it a great spot for growing coffee. I'm Chinese, so it's always fun for me to try new coffee from this region.

As per Rabbit Hole, it's well-sourced and I think the farmers get a premium which is great for stimulating coffee production in the region. I have to stick to my system here which is to focus on the taste of the coffee. I like this as an easy drinker, but I don't get a standout characteristic here. It was a bit pricy for that. I get a slightly nutty tea front and mid-palate, very smooth. I definitely picked up the goji berry, which I like for its uniqueness, but it needs one more bright note of acidity. I do think the overall acidity is. It has honey sweetness with a slight sugar cane note.

Cupping Method:I got a 100g bag of this (sampler) from Rabbit Hole. 20g @ 200F (a bit hotter than normal), 18:1 ratio, v60

Good!
