Suitable for a full bodied espresso
Too dark for my taste

The flavor profile is spot on; once I fine-tuned the recipe, the cup has the tartness of rhubarb and the bitterness of black currants
I was expecting a lighter roast—it took me a while to get the brewing right (mainly by using a lower temperature to avoid bitterness)

Does not recommend
After diluting the brew with quite a lot of water it became drinkable and actually had some interesting notes
I absolutely cannot get this coffee. No matter the recipe it tastes extremely over extracted and bitter
The smell and aromas of the dry and wet are very roasty.
Visually it also very clear that it is not “light” roast

A nicely balanced cup of coffee.
To be honest, I didn't detect any fruity notes in it; it was fresh, but I didn't smell any fruit. I've tried several recipes, but I guess I haven't quite gotten the hang of washed coffees yet—they seem a bit bland to me...
