"Very good African coffee. Slightly sweet with distinctive fruity African coffee taste. Many Kenyan coffees we have had from other roasters have a very similar flavor. Slate is an excellent roaster, would order this coffee again."

"Really liked this coffee. As a lover of acidic coffees, I thought this coffee had a nice acidic profile, without be overly powerful. Has some very nice vanilla and caramel tones. Did not think it was too fruity. Would definitely buy a whole bag!"

"This is not your standard dark roast. The buttery biscuity notes send it over the top! Well balanced, yet interesting. Could drink this every day."

"I've never been disappointed by Victrola, and I can say this roast is exceptional like always. Smooth and inviting for a light roast, almost too light for me so I decreased my usual water to bean ratio. Awesome.
Brew Methods Used : aeropress + Pour-Over."

"I fell in love with this coffee from the first sip. It's magically dark and smooth and creates a wonderful aroma - everything I could possibly want from a dark roast. Makes you feel like you're wrapped in a warm sweater and perfect for fall."

"I supposedly received Vashon Midnight Blend as part of an all dark trial sampler. I was looking forward to trying it as the name was intriguing. The actual shipment contained this Guatemalan Reserve however. Not all disappointment as I like Guatemalan. A good choice when wanting darker medium roast."

"Herkimer coffee is always a good idea! It is good for french press and mocha pot. Usually, I drink coffee with milk, but this is also good without milk. Taste of caramel and some spices are excellent. You need to try Herkimer!"

"Great full flavor coffee. We have not had a coffee from this roaster yet but, this was a great introduction. Strong bold carmel like flavor with fruity notes. Coffee visually looked like a few different coffees with slightly different roasts."

"One of my favorite light roasts. Smooth with a strong--but not overwhelming--citrus taste upfront, which quickly fades off into a sweeter vanilla finish. I like that it's not overpowering; the flavors and sweetness are well-balanced, and the aftertaste is pleasant. Made with a moka."

"Great light roast coffee. Smooth, full bodied without the grassy notes and wine floor associated with light roasted coffee. Cafe Umbria is a great roaster overall. Brewed in french press."

"A very well-balanced coffee overall. Definitely my favorite in the sampler box I received. It's remarkably smooth for a dark roast with the dark cocoa with a hint of nutty/cherry coming through. I made a cold brew with Bearded Lady and it did not disappoint. Thumbs up! "

"I really liked this smoky dark roast. You can sense the underlying chocolate notes, but I found they were more pronounced from my french press than the chemex. Something was lost via the paper filter I felt. "

"I fell in love with Kona coffee a long time ago, but truly great cups of Kona in the US are few and far between. Either you get a blend with hardly any Kona in it, or the beans are long past their prime. Not this one, it's exceptional. Lush, smooth and rich. Full of flavor and perfectly balanced."
