"Lighter roast but very smooth, especially if done with a Chimex. Nice scent when opening the bag and is even better when it's being drunk. "
"Hints of fruit and
chocolate were great with a little creamer. I suggest brewing this one a little hotter than normal as it has an acidic finish. "

"Solid cup of coffee. Liked the fruit notes."
"Smooth,
chocolatey, lightly roasty. Really solid medium brew, perfectly pleasant when consumed black."
"Great flavor, deep and rich flavor.
fruity notes but not overbearing!"
"This was extremely smooth and a great every day coffee. We do
pour over and drink it black. Best coffee we’ve tried yet! Can’t wait to get more of this one. "
"Good
medium roast coffee. Drink it black, but also a drop of raw sugar brings out the sweet notes! Using a Technivorm Mocca Master drip machine"
"This coffee tasted a bit too bitter for my liking I didn't really taste any other flavors"
"
french press made it more bitter and it was nicer with my Technivorm. I liked the blend, but not sure it would get round 2."

"Loved it and would definitely order large bag when able"
"Brewed with a
french press and definitely tasted bitter in flavor. I was disappointed not to taste the
chocolate or molasses finish as much as I got the bitter. "
"My absolute favorite coffee from Bean Box. I've ordered it several times. It's so
nutty with a tiny bit of
fruity punch at the end."
"Tended more toward bittersweet than baking
chocolate, definitely had tones of molasses. Very nice body."
"Not my favorite, could not enjoy it with my
french press or when pouring over. Just OK. "
"So Good. I have yet to get a coffee from Bean Box that I haven't enjoyed! The freshness is just something I can't go without anymore."
"This was not bad. The more I drank it, the better I liked it. At first, I thought it was very bitter tasting, but it was very low acidity and drinkable."
"Just OK, but I was expecting to like it more based on the tasting notes listed and the reviews. It was more bitter than sweet to me. Not bad, but I wouldn't order it again. "
"Overall this was pretty good. Seemed a little bitter but was a good breakfast coffee."
"This one was a little more bitter than I was expecting, but after a few sips so I knew what to expect, it really grew on me!"
"I was a little disappointed. I did not taste the notes reported for this blend. I thought it was a little bitter to me."
"Seem rather strong and bitter to use in the
french press... It want horrible like cheap grocery coffee, but it was far from a favorite."

"I drank this in the morning with some sugar free
hazelnut creamer. It had a good flavor and before I knew it the cup was gone. Not sure I would order it myself but I am glad I got to try it. "
"Did not care for this coffee. Roast was darker then the medium I like. Average taste not much complexity with some bitterness. Would have preferred it roasted lighter."
"This was the first coffee from bean box. Previously was just using beans from big box stores. This coffee was fantastic , I can't believe how much better it is than grocery store coffee! I used an
aeropress. Can't wait to try more!"

"This coffee is very tasty, smooth, and seems to disappear quickly from my cup! This coffee is not overly bitter or acidic and is delicious brewed via
aeropress. The first coffee I tried from Zoka was terrible, however, the past 2 roasts that I have received from this roaster have been excellent!"
"Balanced, good body and linger,
chocolate, semi-sweet. Pleasantly acidic, would probably be good in a latte or mocha"
"Absolutely perfect. I love this coffee and it is worth every penny of its asking price. Never trust a book by its cover, trust it by the delicious aroma that emanates from the bag."

"Good blend. when I opened the bag the coffee had a pronounced coffee oil smell and was reminiscent of
dark roast. However, once ground and brewed in my
french press, the coffee was deep in flavor and had a back note of molasses. bolder than some other blends but definitely good."
"Mmm, really tasty. I wound up drinking two cups of it today."
"Good overall taste and mouthfeel. Medium to full bodied, and sweet in the finish."
"Holy body! This blend is practically FILLED with pronounced notes of dark (bakers?)
chocolate. Thick, slightly creamy, and deceptively dark. Bold, but not burnt. I'm catching hints of molasses as the coffee cools - it seems to brighten up slightly as time goes on. Is that a hint of
tobacco..?"
"Very solid, easy drinking cup. At first sip, it felt unique, offering a slightly different flavor profile than what I think of as a typical coffee blend"
"While I felt that this one was a bit of "regular" cup of coffee, I also think that's what makes it a great cup of coffee. Full bodied dark
chocolate flavor, with a hint of molasses. Easy to drink, low acidity and pairs well with creamer. "
"Little bitterness to this blend. Not sure if this needs more water to balance it. "
"Great cup of coffee. Enjoyed it. I don’t know if I would order it though. "
"Nice but nothing special. Not much profile other than
chocolate notes and a bit of sweetness that might be the molasses. Very drinkable but just not special."
"Deep
chocolate forest with a lightly sweet finish that awakens the senses. Roasted 6/12/17 drank on 9/6/17 as
espresso shot."

"This coffeee is by gfar one of my favorites for
pour over/
chemex. Sometimes when you order so much coffee they all start tasting the same but this one is definitely one I will be reordering!"

"So good! I made this in my
french press and enjoyed it while watching the monsoons roll in over the mountains outside my apartment. This is a wonderful sipping coffee and perfect as a dessert beverage."
"I really enjoyed this coffee. I brewed it with a
pour over and it came out great. I would have it again. The sweet notes really stuck out."
"A solid, smooth coffee with a definitive
chocolate taste and a smokey
caramel / molasses taste, with sweeter notes coming out for me in the aftertaste. Not my personal favorite, but it would make a great standard go-to coffee. Made with a moka pot."
"Great coffee. Brewed in
french press 4-5 minutes. Full flavor, very smooth, no aftertaste. roasted very well, almost perfect cup of coffee. No off notes or odd indiscriminate flavor a, just good smooth coffee. "
"Un cafe excelente me gustan sus sabores complementarios y matices"
"A very drinkable blend. Shared this with three others and they loved it. Thought it could have been a little more bitter. "
"A beautiful combination for the mouth.
chocolate is very present, molasses is too but more as an after taste."
"Solid coffee, solid blend. I recommend with sweetened heavy cream for an afternoon treat! "
"I loved this coffee! It was like drinking a cup of hot
cocoa when you put a touch of cream in it. No acidity at all in the back with a nice rich molasses finish. This is definitely one of my new favorites. "
