Smooth,bold, balanced profile. If visitors from another galaxy dropped in and asked what is this coffee thing about? I would make them this.

I bought a sample bag in the Valentine sale, but did not get around to roasting it for a couple of months. It was very tasty and chocolaty, but it was all sold out by then. I waited patiently for the next batch, and it is even better than the first batch, although less chocolaty. It is extremely complex, good for a sipping coffee as well as drinking with meals. Very robust, roasted to a true medium brown. Stir that whisk briskly in order to get most beans with even color, and trust your eyes at gauging when to stop. I made sure I got several pounds this time, as I am sure it will be a best seller. Do not worry if a couple of beans escape. If they are brown enough, you can put them in with the done ones.

Roasting this bean in my Behmor with a manual profile, I get a very fruity cup without the overwhelming jamminess or acidity of some of the funkier natural beans. It has a bit of a tendency to runaway towards second crack with a very faint first crack, but when I nail that fully developed end of first crack roast it is a central pillar to my home espresso blend. This is easily one of my favorite coffees of the last couple of years of roasting!

Really surprising, chocolatey flavors. I roasted to City +. As an espresso, it had strong citrus flavors that were not really pleasant, but as a cortado with some milk and a touch of sugar, the sweeter flavors emerged. So no espresso for me on this, but it's a great coffee.

The first thing we noticed about these beans was the large amount of chaff floating around our Behmor roaster as the beans roasted. Other than that, the beans smelled so delicious, and the coffee was delightful. We will definitely get this again, as it is now one of our favorites.

Did two Roasts, one I stopped when first crack started and the other i allowed to go a minute after first crack stopped. Both were good, but I definitely liked the darker roast the best as the flavors really developed. I also noticed that it's a oilier than most. A very good cup of coffee that is a very pleasant break from my regular goto's.

This one actually had berry notes that were irresistible. Thank you Coffee Bean Corral!

Roasted twice so far, once to a light-medium, and once to dark. I’ve tried this and the Natural version, and I prefer the natural, personally, for its extremely fruit-forward flavor and aroma. If you don’t prefer that, this one might be for you. I prefer this one as a dark roast, personally, but the natural 18 rabbit is perfect as a medium roast. The black honey process beans tend to look further along than they actually are. I’d advise going a little longer than usual.

Absolutely loved this one. Smooth and rounded cup. Actually tastes like it smells in a medium roast. Have already ordered another 3lbs

After many attempts with a BarWell Roaster, using 160 °C . I finally achieved a light roast without burning the beans. I used multiple roast sessions as to not over roast. The roaster's temperature gauge I decided was inaccurate. I achieved nirvana with a wonderful sweet chocolate nutty aroma & smooth clean taste with zero bitterness from over roasting. Recommending slow & low roasting <= 160°C. One must be very attentive & check the roasting frequently, it will be worth the effort.

Amazing

Very happy with these beans. They were fruity and ripe with a finishing sweetness and easy drinkability. Due to natural process, I had a little difficulty roasting them, but that's on me! Would buy again.
