Retro coffee - evokes nostalgia for times long past
I drink it purely for nostalgic reasons—it's not experimental, distinctive, thrilling, or even provocative in any way—but it's usually good when it's cold and dark outside. It doesn't stand out from the crowd, but it will appeal to non-coffee lovers and help coffee lovers pleasantly restart their taste buds as part of an experimental journey.
I don't think it's suitable for cold brew due to its character.
A Christmas classic, goes well with gingerbread and cookies :-)

Pleasant aroma during preparation and afterwards (honey, fruity)
The resulting cup is sweet and full-flavored.
I use it on v60, but I'll try it on cold brew too. I think its aroma makes it really suitable for that.
When I drink the filter while it is still hot, the taste is slightly pungent and bitter. After five minutes, once the filter has cooled down a little, the pungency subsides and only sweetness remains with a hint of pleasant acidity. I can't blame the bitterness on the beans, but I'll just adjust the recipe next time :)
Recipe
Preparation method: v60 Coffee (g): 20g Water (g): 300g Water temperature: 95
Grinder (setting): manual grinder... probably doesn't matter, but I used a finer grind Process: Initial blooming: 70g, 45s... then I added water to 110g, waited 30s... After 30s, I added 120g. The coffee ran through in 2:50.

Coincidentally, I had a "similar" coffee from People Possession before. The People Possession variant was more acidic for me, it was a nice coffee, it was a lot about acidity/juiciness and a bit of cocoa. Gringo is fuller, maybe more sweet, and the acidity is not so aggressive, but the similarity is there, mainly in the taste of acidity (but it is not so "in your face"). I think Gringo is more palatable to a larger audience.

Excellent, we like it very much
Very interesting and pleasant flavor profile
It's refreshing that it's a coffee that stands out in flavor and impresses
It's not really bitter - the flavor profile matches the label exactly
Very nice packaging
Too small a package that can be drunk right away - we would need a bigger package (perhaps even a kilo :-D ) and above all to restock another one, please :-)
