Roasted between 1st and 2nd crack. The green beans were clean, very very few damaged beans. The coffee was light, mild earth and floral tones. Interesting coffee. CBC shipping is quick arrived 3 days of placing order.

I like this coffee! Extremely smooth; roasted to a nice medium roast using a Gene Café roaster. Run at full heat (482 deg. F) about a 1.5 minutes past the first crack. (The very first crack you hear) Then lower the temperature to 420 deg. F for about 4 min. Let the machine go into auto cool down (COL). Let sit overnight to degas. Thank you Coffee Bean Corral for carrying such a nice product and not only that, but at such a nice price point!

Roasted to just past 1st crack. After resting 24 hours and brewing with a 30 second bloom, it felt underdeveloped. It almost had a hint of chaff in the cup, even though there was no chaff left on the beans. It’s definitely a unique cup, but I feel this one would be best as part of a blend rather than SO. I haven’t tried it as espresso yet. When I roast the next 1/2 pound, I’ll probably take it just into 2nd crack and see if that helps develop the flavor profile.
