From the roaster

We've carried this off and on over the years but never consistently online however it was our first coffee next to the Dumerso. The cool thing about this coffee is that it's fairly consistent and you run into this with certain producers who strive to achieve a profile along with a consistent quality product. Not easy to do given it's a crop and harvest varies. What I like about this coffee is it's milky (so see some body here too) and just loads of chocolate.For a light roast not often seen without some roasting work imparted on it. I realize at times we've gone to the extreme fruity and floral end of the spectrum so consider this a switch back to what a lot of people really enjoy. Skip the milk on this else you lose what makes this so nice. It tastes a bit milky anyways.
