Reviews & Ratings

Chloe	★★★★★	★★★★★ Very nice in the moka pot. I buy this only for that because it is pretty bright, so I feel like it needs to be brewed via espresso and with a lot of milk.
David	★★★★★	★★★★★ Delicious and smooth. This makes a great latte or even in my drip brewer. citrus notes with some molasses. Sweet and roasty. Low acidity too. Fantastic coffee!
Josh	★★★★★	★★★★★ Excellent citrusy flavor profile. Fresh and smooth.
Michelle	★★★★★	★★★★★ My husband and I tend to love beans that are on the sweeter side, so we were really excited to try this. We make lattes every morning - this went really well with my almond milk, but my husband wasn't a huge fan of it paired with whole milk. He actually said it was a little too bitter for him.
Nicole	★★★★★	★★★★★ Was pretty good. I drank it as an Americano and was happy with my cup of coffee. I enjoyed the nuttiness of it.
Emily	★★★★★	★★★★★ Good! More fruity than I would have thought but good nonetheless. Good for espresso.
Jeni	★★★★★	★★★★★ My boyfriend loved this one... For me, not so much. Personally I am not as big of a fan of anything with a fruit essence. With all of that said, not a bad coffee - in fact a good one if you love the citrus.
dolphy	★★★★★	★★★★★ Tasted the slight sourness of citrus and it was pretty good on its own, but perfect with the paired Veracruz Orange white chocolate!! I’m loving the coffee + chocolate sampler box!!
Nathan	★★★★★	★★★★★ A little different then your traditional espresso, but still brews a great cup. Many interesting flavors that really worked for me.
Kristan	★★★★★	★★★★★ I am not a fan of citrus in coffee and this was for sure citrus.
Jason	★★★★★	★★★★★ Great mouthfeel, I never had espresso that was so refreshing and citrus-y. I will definitely order more of this.
rouroumax	★★★★★	★★★★★ Strong on the citrus in both smell and taste. A solid choice for a cafe latte, but not particularly interesting or memorable.
Joseph	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is a beautiful espresso! If you are someone who enjoys you espresso without much milk this is for you. However, the beautiful thing about this coffee is it's very creamy & goes great with milk as well. Basically, you will not forget this one & it will make these long cold months not so bad.
Laura	★★★★★	★★★★★ While it was dark and strong, as espresso should be, there was not as much syrupy texture as I prefer - this could have been my espresso pulls though.
Brittani	★★★★★	★★★★★ This one is too dark tasting. I tried with the paired chocolate and it was still gross to me. I did not get a honey or creamy taste nor did I taste citrus or anything sweet about this.
ANTHONY	★★★★★	★★★★★ Did not stand out in flavor. Missed the distinct smell of roasted beans when opened the bag. Nonetheless, it made a good cup of espresso.
Nathan	★★★★★	★★★★★ A very sweet and smooth blend with excellent flavors that gave me a great reason to get up in the morning. Used a fine grind.
Joseph	★★★★★	★★★★★ One of the Best espresso blends I have tried. This is a Great coffee both as espresso and when used in the chemex. Such a strong, flavorful cup of Joe. I love Zoka coffee.
Alex	★★★★★	★★★★★ The fruit notes were too strong for me and overcame the other (mostly nutty) flavors. Using a coarse grind, I brewed the entire sample bag in a french press with four cups of water for 4 minutes.
Ricardo	★★★★★	★★★★★ Very well-balanced, rich espresso. Nice chocolate notes that blend into a a sweet honey body which finishes with a light fruity acidity. The chocolate and honey flavors paired very well with milk drinks. I will be buying this again. This was a very forgiving coffee to dial in for home espresso.
