I was sent El Conquistator as a sample pack. After the first cup I decided I had to have a big bag and here I am ordering more! Smooth, chocolate with low acid. Roasted low for 4 minutes then turned it up to high, just before 2nd crack.
DELISHOUS!

Easy and consistent to roast. I’ve started taking this to full city and enjoy it even more. I also found leaving it a week in an air tight jar before I cold brew, allows for a fuller flavor. I’m reluctant to try other beans now as this one checks the boxes for me

Made to a medium roast. Taste was smooth and not bitter. Can say i would buy it again and recommend it.

These beans are really fresh! I roast for about a minute after the first crack and always pleased with the outcome.
Thank you CBC!

This is one of my favorites and always a good standby. Each batch tastes a bit different to me, or perhaps it’s my technique! It’s a really delicious addition to a regulars rotation.

Roasted between 1st and 2nd crack. The cupping notes closely matched the description, "tropical fruit and bittersweet chocolate and has a smooth pronounced body".
Roasted a 2nd batch passed 2nd crack. Made a smooth, chocolatey and nutty espresso,

A great bean with balance in all areas of taste. Not too fruity with good body, smooth and very enjoyable. Just ordered 3 more pounds.

This is one of my favorites, smooth and mellow- good black or with cream! I really like the cloth sack they come in:-)

I've really been enjoying these beautiful beans. They're great in an espresso blend, which I use them for. I roast at a full city+ and I feel has it's full flavor potential at this roast. Balanced, clean, subtle citrus notes that brings out a great acidity and a sweet tropical fruit, berry-like aroma.

Like these beans. Bought a 3 pound supply, and I still have some left to roast. My most recent roast was about 45 seconds to a minute after the end of first crack. Just made some espresso with these beans, And it tasted fantastic! The acidity level was fairly low even for it being roasted for not very long, but you still get the fruit notes that are in the description.I get a initial flavor of a strong sweet cherry at the beginning.

I really love this one. It's well balanced and very flavorful. Just what I want in the early morning. I roasted between medium and full city and it smells so good as the hot water hits my French press.
