Costa Rican Tarrazu

Top Notch Beans No Broken Pieces

I’m a coffee nerd. So I try a lot of online roasters. I’m Moka pot or French press only. I only like low to zero acidity & actually tasting the notes a must. Most of the times I’m sorry I gave a company a try. I tried a roaster in San Fran that was $50 a 1lb bag. Yes it was good but seriously. Roast to Order is better. Roast to Order is what I always end up back at. I get 4 bags every 2-3 weeks. From order to door is 3-5 days depending if I order on a weekend. Roast date stamped. The beans are almost 100% whole meaning not any bits & pieces as with other roasters. That’s quality folks. Highly recommend any beans. I’ve tried almost everything except the floral stuff. The Colombian is my absolute favorite. What a flavor zero acid. You can taste the chocolate like a Dove chocolate bar. My go to roaster.

Disappointed

I certainly am no coffee expert, but I know that when coffee beans have been roasted to the extent of expressing oils on the surface of the beans and are very dark, such as these, that they have been roasted well beyond the "Light/Medium" stage described on your website. Likewise, the flavor profile of "Honey. Almond. Bright Citrus" no longer exists in thyese beans roasted to this stage.

I thought that the beans were a little oily. I have purchased the Tarrazu from other roasters and they did not have an oily appearance. I use a pour over method and the tase seemed off compared to other Tarrazu beans.
