BRIGHT BLEND #125

"Too light for me with it's brightness and tea like hints. But was an interesting new one."

"Decided to try a second bag. Although seemingly just a little thin the cup was a good offset to a stronger first different type of roast I had. I believe Kuma has made a great coffee for introducing friends to coffee here. Also looking forward to trying as a cold brew. No real strong berry notes here."

"Excellent coffee ☕️. Smooth, very drinkable. Have not picked up strong berry flavors yet. Will check again tomorrow!"

"I love light to medium roasts, and this one is a wonderful light roast. Very bright, faintly sweet, with a nice, tangy flavor. No bitterness from the brew, but if you use too much milk it does muddy the flavors a bit. With this one it's best to let the bean's natural flavors shine through with just a bit of sugar and as little milk or cream as you can tolerate."

"Delicious and juicy coffee. The flavor isn't as robust as I prefer so I will have to try decreasing the grind size and see how it turns out. [clever, 208d, Baratza Encore 18, 24 g] "

"Brewed this in a chemex as well as an aeropress and it was delicious every way. "

"I have been wanting to try more light roast beans and this was my first try. It is fruity and refreshing. Definitely works well for summer season."

"We love the refreshing flavor of this coffee. We usually go for dark roasts with a bold coffee flavor, and this light roast really surprised us!"

"For beans advertised as bursting with tropical fruit flavor (a favorite of mine), I could not brew a cup that had anything but the most subtle hint of citrus. Most cups were on the thin side. This isn't to say this was a bad cup of coffee. Overall, I found the brewed coffee very delicate and clean, just uninspiring. This does claim to be best for espresso and I only tried it with a Kalita drip, aeropress, and an Moccamaster autodrip. Results with these methods were similar, so maybe they just don't let the beans truly shine?"

"This is a great coffee with a classic light roast flavor. But I'm still on the look out for actual floral notes in a coffee. I've tried FOUR so far, all claiming to have floral notes, and I can't taste them. But it's still a nice cup of coffee anyway."

"Rich, smooth and just delicious!"

"This coffee is perfectly named, it does taste fresh and bright and I love the strong light brew!"

"A staple morning pick-me-up! My favorite way to start the day, one of the best light roasts I've tried. "

"Boy I love Kuma coffees. This one was rich and fruity with a classic coffee taste underlying it."

"My family and I enjoyed this coffee very much. It made an excellent iced coffee utilizing chemex and brewing directly over ice cubes (factoring the weight of the cubes for extraction). I will be ordering more of this. "

"Love the light brew, but still very strong flavor! I have ordered it before and I really like it!"

"Good solid cup of coffee, and a nice light roast. Prefer mine to have a little more depth of flavor- might be better in pour over or chemex brew. "

"Good coffee- bright and easy to drink. Did both chemex and french press- preferred french press. "

"Smooth and fruity, the berry and fruit notes come through well when had as an espresso shot for a latte "

"Brewed in my french press. This is a sweet and smooth coffee with notes of honey and fruit. The taste description is very accurate. "

"Start my morning with bean box every AM from a gift subscription. It has a fantastic sweet honey Tatar’s I can really pick out. Ordering another bag now!"

"The name is very accurate, bright is exactly the word that came to mind. Wonderful morning coffee, especially on some of the more bracing mornings here in New York. "

"Bright, smooth and an interesting finish. This is a fun pick me up"

"Good overall taste. I like how light it is. Perfect for an everyday coffee. :)"

"The citrus was very pleasant, enjoyed this very much"

"Unfortunately, too light and fruity for me. I like a little colder and also seemed a little bitter. Maybe milk would help?"

"This was a nice, decent blend. Not sure I would order again but it was a nice switch. The honey and banana really did come through at the finish!"

"This light roast made a wonderful espresso! The flavour was bright and fresh as advertised, with a smooth hint of fruitiness."

"Great flavor! Has a bright unique taste! I used it straight in my espresso machine and it comes out so smooth!"

"This coffee wasn't my favorite, but still had a good taste, not as bold as I prefer. "

"This is delicious! Nice and light and not overly roasty or smoky. "

"We had it every morning with breakfast and it gave us that needed kick to get the day going! The different flavors all paired nicely together and made it a must have coffee! By far, one of our absolute favorites!"

"I do like a light roast, but this one was really great. Loved how smooth and tasty it was, light tastes of berries/fruit. Another great Kuma coffee."

"Surprisingly lovely. Has a hint of a sweet creamy flavoring, but the berry and citrus are barely there. Very smooth and tasty tho!"

"The usual for a light roast: weak flavor, not matter how many beans you use while brewing."

"I used this as an espresso. It's softly fruity and bright, with a nice hint of sweetness."

"Another great coffee. Tasting notes are definitely subtle, but definitely present. While most reviewers claim that this blend is best as an espresso, our family preferred the chemex version. "

"Some people do not enjoy light roasts because of lack of a distinct, bold flavor. This has both! Although still light, there is a beautiful strong flavor with notes of berry creeping up int the background! Bought a big bag so I could have more! "

"This was not bad. If it was supposed to be used as an espresso, I did not get the memo. Brewed in my french press, and was a normal cup of coffee. Enjoyed it though"

"Tasting a variety of coffees has been eye opening. To learn I love coffees with berry as a description is fascinating. "
