Chocolate, earthy, buttery, nutty. Nice strong aroma. Excellent dark roast coffee.

For the past several roasts, i've used this bean as the base for my espresso blends. I went through my first order, and saw that it was still available at CBC, so i bought more. To start with, the grind of this bean is like butter. It just looks like a rich and flavorful grind! When i pull a shot, it produces an outstanding crema, and is very rich in its flavors of chocolate, some caramel, and a sweet nuttiness, almost like a cashew. Very sweet, but not much fruit in this bean, though. Very low bitterness, and it's acidity is much fuller and richer than sharp. This might not be what everyone looks for in their coffee, but it is what i look for and is what i try to achieve in my roasts. I like this bean, and am thrilled i can get it at CBC!

I love my Sweet Blue beans. I am roasting for almost two years and i have tried many variates. By no means an expert but with this bean I always succeed to roast a nice batch. This is probably because the bean forgives mistakes in roasting precision and has great results around the medium roast (anything between 1st and 2nd crack). Dark roast did not work for me. I am addicted to the aroma of the roasted beans when i open my jar in the morning (which develops on day 2), the sweetness of the brew, and the chocolate and nutty notes. I love my Sweet Blue beans! ps Packaging is always a pleasure to open - coffee bags are so cute. Well done guys!

I wrote a review on my enjoying this coffee in March 2022. I just received another 20 lbs. that I ordered from Coffee Bean Corral. Their packaging, shipping times, shipping costs, and responsiveness are all top-rate. Definitely have become my go-to place for green coffee beans

Brazil beans are one of my favorites. I personally found this one to be one of my favorites so far. I tried it in a light roast, medium roast and a dark roast. All were great. I've been drinking the medium roast in a French press with a few of the dark roast beans mixed in. I find it to have a nutty, earthy, dark chocolate taste. It's become my go to cup in the morning. I will be ordering more of this for sure. CBC is a fantastic company with excellent customer service and fast shipping. Thank you CBC!!

Was a bit lighter than I was expecting for a blue.. but still a good cup of joe.

The raw beans really are blue. I roasted them to medium-dark. On my roaster, that's 12 minutes at 200 C, and then five minutes at 240 C. I brewed it in my Bialetti and shared it with two of my friends/test subjects. It yielded a rich smooth arabica flavor with notes of spicy chocolate. The consensus was that it was absolutely delicious. You DON'T want to miss out on this selection! In designing my label, I searched the internet for a picture of a chocolate bar.

Very smooth, roasted to full city in a gene cafe. Used for espresso, in rancillio Silvia. Produced rich crema.

Makes for a smooth cup of coffee. This was our first attempt at roasting at home (using a whirley pop) and we call it a success. Did a medium roast as that's our normal preference. Good classic coffee flavor with hints of chocolate and sweetness as drip, pour over, and espresso.

Excellent! Very smooth with good sweetness. Almonds are prevalent. Medium roast is the best.

Roasted to just before second crack and totally enjoyed the classic taste with a hint of almond and chocolate. This is definitely a favorite!

Tried roasting this bean in 3 different roast. Light roast just after first crack had a floral almost tea taste. Medium roast had a fruity flavor and the third roast 40 seconds after 2nd crack was best to me. It was smooth and just a good classic taste. Roasted in a behmor 1600 plus.
