Medium-dark roasted to just after second crack. Rich, smooth, chocolatey cup. Tastes like that Purple Kona that I scored last month. Yes, it was that good. Not at all surprised that they sold out.

I think I've stumbled on a new favorite. I roasted to a Medium (SR800 for ~8 minutes, held below 470F thru 1st crack, before 2nd crack). It makes a tasty espresso at a fine grind. Next I'll try an Aeropress cup at a coarser grind.

This coffee is a BERRY BOMB and competes with any fruit-forward Ethiopian. Bought a pound on a whim, quickly got addicted, and just bought another 5lbs. A City roast brings out these wild flavors. I’m drinking a pour over. Haven’t experimented with espresso yet.

Small time connoisseur. At present I roast in an air popper. Roasting this Ramirez Red Honey to 15-20 seconds into the second cracking is perfect for me. I’m not an expert on all the “notes,” but this is one of the best I’ve ever roasted, with any device, over the last 20 years.

Nice coffee, but rather bland. I am a Yemen coffee addict, so perhaps it is unfair to judge this Ramirez by that standard. I roasted it up to, but not quite, second crack, taking it slow after the beginning of first crack. The beans finished with a dark burnt Sienna color, and just a hint of oil. This one is low acid, mild chocolate flavors, but compared to the Yemen (which costs 3 - 4 times as much) lacks that COFFEE essence - the very complex flavor that says, "This is what coffee should taste like". I think most coffee drinkers would find this coffee quite agreeable but someone used to Yemeni, would go home and prepare his special brew and settle down to enjoy real COFFEE!

I don’t understand the poor reviews as the quality and taste has been excellent. I’ve purchased 100# and out of the 20 single origin coffees on hand this is the house favorite

Am really enjoying this coffee. I do cold brew and this bean really shines. I also have been experimenting with lighter roasts. I did this one to about a minute into the first crack. Coarse ground and then soaked in water for 24 to 36 hours it creates an elixir that I heat 1/2 cup in my mug and then fill with hot water.
The taste is fantastic with no additives. I like black coffee so if you ever saw me adding anything to a mug you would know it is lousy coffee, (think Starbucks). :-)

Very fruit forward. I will roast a little more next time and see if that fruitiness diminishes a little. If you love fruity coffee you’ll love this one!

If you're alone ok. If you have friends over and make this coffee, they'll down/ dry it up real fast.

Not a fan. There was strong odd odor even through the shipping bag. I will experiment with them as a blend bean. Otherwise they will be tossed or for something else besides coffee. First big disappointment.
That said CBC is my go-to green bean resource.

Roasted to full city+ on my Bullet w/ Tfinish@207degC and have excellent full bodied and chocolatey nutty results! Rested 3-6 days, med-fine grind, 40g/L, drip maker. I'm surprised to enjoy this even more than the honey process version (...also outstanding!).

This is the best coffee I've ever had. We roasted it just a few seconds into second crack and let it rest for a day. It had very little astringency or acidify. It had a wonderful aroma with dark chocolate flavors. Such a joy to drink.
