I was looking for Indonesian Asam coffee because of my wonderful experience with this coffee from Putovní Roastery.
When I opened the package, the beans didn’t smell like anything; they were suspiciously unevenly roasted, ranging from light to dark brown. After brewing them with a Hario V60, the initial flavor was promisingly fruity, but the aftertaste was unpleasantly bitter. So, everything went wrong—the only way to salvage them would be to use them in tiramisu.

An interesting flavor profile, with a slight hint of cola and banana, but only when the coffee was freshly opened; after a few days, it wasn't as noticeable anymore.
In “my” package, I found a strange mix of beans roasted to varying degrees (from light to very dark) and of varying quality (from nice, firm beans to strange, literal scraps or fragments of beans!).
Since I got the coffee on sale, I guess it’s okay. But I definitely wouldn’t buy it again at full price. There are better coffees out there for less money.

I couldn't get any of the fruit flavors mentioned in the description out of it, just a bitter taste.
I really don't like it on the lever, it's okay for a filter in an emergency, but it's definitely not for everyday drinking.
The last attempt was with cold brew – maybe for someone who likes earthier flavors, but for me, without a pile of ice and lime, no way :)
I appreciate the recycled coffee packaging, but I have never seen such impractical packaging in my life. As soon as I opened it, the entire opening mechanism fell apart (perhaps it was my clumsiness, but considering the material, I don't think so – we'll see next time :)).
