If you roast your own coffee, this is worth buying before it’s gone. I primarily buy Ethiopian, then Kenyan and Rwandan coffees to roast myself, as my favorite origins, but I also pick something else to try with my 15 lb orders, 5 lbs of each. And I’ve been lazy of late by just setting a time on my hot air roaster instead of listening for first crack, but still hitting the medium roast range. And I’ve just been blown away by how good this coffee is. And I have a post about home roasting and how easy it is today with hot air roasters derived from people that originally used hot air popcorn makers to roast coffee.

A super clean lot from the Congo; Amazing considering all the trouble this year in the Kivu; beautiful prep on these beans. We thought best around the medium roast level but works well from light to dark. Great floral and soft fruit tones upfront with a bit of brightness, not too overwhelming or potent like some Africans, delicate sweetness balanced with a little chocolaty spice. Smooth with almost a brown sugar hint at a strong medium roast. Pretty much everyone will love this coffee, a great everyday drinker. Strong savory with panela and burnt sugar flavors. Juicy acidity and sugary sweetness.
