From the roaster
Yes, It's dry process. No it's not a "fruit bomb". Don't get your hopes up here. It's got the fruit thing, yes, it's there, but it's behind more origin flavors like chocolate and honey than the fruit. Now i'm also not saying it's a chocolate, honey and fruit jam like some kind of Phish Concert. Actually I don't know if it's like a Phish concern, never been, never will, but, I've heard: things. I had a roommate in college who was super into them. He was cool. I met a dude later in life who went to their shows and he was: very not cool. So 50/50 split here. Don't @ me with your Phish stories. I don't want to hear them.
About the coffee: this is one of those I can tell it's nice but I don't quite see the "hype" of craft coffee that I wont give to someone first checking things out. It's the I liked the fruit bomb but anything less sour? This is more the hey babe are you going out? Yeah? ok good. When you go to that weird shop with the Pokemon stuff, you know the one you go to the one with the weird owner who just meme's endlessly and I guess now Phish too (I promise you can like them I'm not clowning I just am doing the "thing") can you just like buy a normal coffee tasting coffee one I'd like too. This is that coffee. She will like it and you will like it while you wait for the fruit bomb to finish brewing.
I'm having fun here people, it's a joke. It's all jokes. <3
Give this a shot as espresso and probably cold brew too.
