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. <em>Strong savory with panela and burnt sugar flavors. Juicy acidity and sugary sweetness.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" src=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-21.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-21.png 550w, https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-21-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-22.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15769\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-22.png 768w, https:\/\/jasonsblog.ddns.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-22-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you roast your own coffee, this is worth buying before it&#8217;s gone.
