Ethiopia
Medium Roast
One of my favorites! Guess I’m a sucker for blueberry notes
A Toda Madre
Colombia
Light Roast
Solid for cold brew, bright notes peeking through
Goshen
Ripe berries peeking through, classic Yirgacheffe Ethiopian taste.
Touchy Coffee
Lavender was strong on this one, interesting take on an Ethiopian bean
Long Neck Roasters
Brazil
Dark Roast
Picked this up at a local farmers market when in Williamsburg, VA. Please disregard my rating on the bag in the image. Usually don’t reach for a dark roast but this was solid. Gave me insane anxiety but was strong so buy at your own risk
Tanzania
Loved this one, great for espresso drinks. Touchy coffee doesn’t really miss.
Bolivia
I think this one was a bit overhyped with the “extra special” sticker here but solid as always
Lost Sock
Nicaragua
Great local roaster to DC! First time trying a Nicaraguan coffee. Very solid and loved the sweet and acidic notes.
Onyx
Apricot forward ethiopian
Ethiopia, Colombia, Honduras
Great starter for anyone looking to get into coffee
Mudhouse
Ethiopia, Colombia
Probably by favorite coffee to this day. This has won awards for a reason. Tried this in a cortado in their Richmond store and fell in love. Perfect for anyone that wants some sweet acidity.
Central/South America Blend
I have nothing bad to say about this other than it’s outshined by Trust & Believe. This is the safer middle of the road choice.
Ceremony
Wasn’t too impressed with this one, Ceremony is usually solid though.
This is what I remember Ceremony for. Shocker that it’s a fruity light roast that I’m excited about. Definitely check out their site and do the color experience.
Afterglow
Love Afterglow! Great light, juicy with notes of apricot & mango
Didn’t love this as much as the other one but a very solid option for espresso
Alma Coffe
Good for one cup but a little much to have as a daily cup (watermelon overpowering)
Easy drinking, versatile bean that can be used for espresso, pour over or whatever.
Superlost
Very run of the mill solid option
Latin American Blend
Im just not crazy about generic espresso blends (too dark for me) but im sure this is right for regular use.
LOVED this one, so bright with great fruity notes. Wouldn’t have expected one of my favorites to be a blend. Afterglow continues to impress me!
Nagadi
Yirgacheffe region, nuff said. Nagadi is such a great spot, if you’re in the DMV area stop by on Saturday morning (the only time they are open).
Guatemala
Had this as espresso but would probably go hard on a pour over
Helm
Awesome, well rounded roast. I really liked the blackberry notes especially and excited to try more from Helm!
Not sure I tasted too many distinct notes but no major complaints
Americas
Super interesting take on an “espresso” blend. I love the creamsicle notes and found the medium roast to work really well.
Kingship
Costa Rica
Apricot is carrying this, great option for cortado or other milk drinks. Got it from Kingship in Williamsburg, VA. Great coffee shop!
Roseline
Wow. Was truly impressed by this one having Strawberry be the strongest note but not being overpowering. Highly recommend having this as a pour over. Still have not had anything like this coffee, really unique. Excited to try more Roseline!
Tasty Brazil roast with caramel stealing the show. Great crema on espresso shots pulled with this.
Small Planes
Decent espresso blend, very chocolately and acidic, would be great for affogato
Mexico
Excellent for pour overs, great entry for me to get more interested in Mexican coffees.
Archetype
Kenya
Blood orange and caramel notes strong, great smooth cup for pourover
Definitely tasting the blueberry, solid for pourover but was a bit acidic for my morning cup
Beanmonger
Slowly becoming one of my favorite espresso blends right now. The black and white cookie note with a bit of citrus is awesome and more of a medium espresso roast which is refreshing.
I did not only have this on Saturday unfortunately. Wasn't too impressed with this as a pourover, but maybe would've been better as espresso.
Driftaway
Burundi, Guatemala
Super solid all around pick for espresso. Nothing really too interesting but I have nothing bad to say about it. Going to check out Driftaway in person some time soon!
Roseline Coffee
Roseline coffee doesn’t seem to miss! Super interesting fruity notes and solid for espresso and pour overs.
Also a pretty solid roast from Roseline that was a very easy morning pour over.
heart
Great everyday driver, had this primarily on pour over
Mexico, Colombia
This was a really nice coffee roast for winter. The sweet and spice combo shines through wonderfully with Holiday drinks (Eggnog lattes for me).
Really liked this one along with my other heart coffees.
sk coffee
This was an interesting cup the first time around. After a couple of drinks, lost the watermelon candy novelty and was just too sour.
