A chocolatey, lively coffee with some earthiness but not overwhelming. Syrupy and bittersweet as espresso with a pleasant linger. Acidity is intermingled with a rich/bittersweet note but it's not too tart. Definitely some walnut or pecan. Fluffy medium crema.
I tried V's iced americano and thought it did very well in that format.Cupping Method:Made it on my espresso machine at 95C. I'd considering dialing it back to 94C as I might have slightly overextracted but these were solid results.

This roast is a slightly darker medium that presents with a full body with oak / smokey edges. A robust and deep flavor profile features dark chocolate-covered cherry.Cupping Method:Moka espresso, cream with no sweetener

This cup had a real sweetness to it, complimented by a distinct cherry note and maybe a touch of bergamot. Very enjoyable.Cupping Method:Hario V60 pour over

I drank this as espresso and the first thing youll notice espresso js unusually large, fluffy crema. Its quite a sight, but theres more to it than just appearance. Theres a lot of life in these beans!
The flavor profile is varied, with a noticeable cherry note thats neither too subtle nor too dominant. Theres a hint of oak in the background, lending a touch of sophistication. The earthy, smoky, and spicy elements add depth, while the maple syrup sweetness rounds it out nicely. Its smooth to drink, with a pleasing mouthfeel.
Overall, a very enjoyable cup of espresso, deserving of a 4.5/5 rating. Could use one clean, bright note but pretty balanced.Cupping Method:Espresso 95C

This Costa Rica peaberry is really nice. It has a really nice citrus acidity note in the sweet mandarin orange range, and has a honey like sweetness and texture. It's not super complex but it drinks very smooth and has a nice mouthfeel.Cupping Method:v60, 203 degrees

I like this Tanzanian Peaberry. It's very fruity and smooth. I get blood orange, plum, and chocolate. Short, clean, finish. A lot of natural sweetness. Good hot or cold.Cupping Method:Hario v60 pourover, 204F. First of 8 coffees from a Volcanica sampler.
