A stellar option for espresso as it mixes bittersweet chocolates with fruits quite well. A bit "one note" in that it does that, but it does it well and uniquely so in my book. I don't think this coffee home is anything outside of espresso so if that's your lane, go for it. Obviously when espresso it needs to be noted: not dark. It's light. There are some rustic elements and i think there was a bit of an unevenness in the roast that results in some beans going darker than hoped. This happens sometimes in naturals and processing. It add's to cup character however.
