This makes a wonderful cup of coffee. Rich and smooth without any bitterness. My favorite South American Coffee. I like this roasted dark which the Roasted Bean happily customizes for me. They roast and ship quickly, too!
Can't drink any other coffee bought a cup while working and had to spill the whole cup out , couldn't take the taste had to go home and make a pot.🫠
Great taste and aftertaste. I loved it and so did my guests. Will buy again for sure!
