I'm newer to roasting so take that into consideration. This bean while it tasted decent seemed to roast very unevenly. I'm not sure if that was my fault or if this bean tends to be that way? I tried about 6 different batches tweaking how I was roasting each time and still couldn't get a more consistent roast. I've roasted other varities like Haitian Blue Norde, Fazenda Da Lagoa Natural, Sul de Minas, and Ethiopian G2 Sidamo and didn't experience the uneven roasting issues. Again it tasted ok however wasn't as easy to get the roast right as a novice.

I'm blown away by this one.
At a city roast, I'm getting a deep date sugar aroma, spiced floral notes on the front end, and a smooth nutty finish that lingers well with the slightest hint of sour cherry. Little to no bitter, but also low on the acid for how light I roasted it. Very balanced flavor.
The beans seem to have a lot of sugar, and roasted a bit darker in color than city roasts typically end up. Upon grinding though, the resulting color confirmed that it is in fact City/City+.
I'm curious about darker roasts, but the light is hard to beat.
[Roasted with a Gene Café, preheated, ~3min@440 during browning, and 11min total@482. Went to first crack, and about 45 sec after@460 to round out the beans.]

Roasted to just at 2nd crack using Gene roaster. Amazing taste -- sweetness, chocolaty, and overall balance stands out definitely! I tried latte, ice latte, and americano. I've tried Haiti Blue and JBM before but I think this one is bang for the buck. Haiti Blue seemed a bit more mild, so I prefer this. JBM, frankly I only had two batches (also from CBC) to try out, which did not impress me. I haven't tried it again since then, mainly due to disappointment despite the cost. I will definitely order this bean again in future!

Loving the Haitian coffees. A whole new level of smoothness and mouth-feel. To me, besides being smooth, rich, and full-bodied, the Marre Blanc had a delicious dark chocolate taste, which surprised me a little based on the cupping notes. Roasted it to about City, which seemed about right for this bean. No need to go any darker, as it doesn't taste acidic at all at City, and going darker may actually mask some of the delicious flavors.
