CBC Blend: Onobeano's Latte

I roasted a lot of different beans but this particular one is the smoothness yet

Found this batch to be too varied in color of beans raw as well as roasted. There were pale yellow to white beans in raw form. After roasting the output is all over the roasted range and not uniform at all. Some are City+ others in the same batch don't hit first crack.

Wife's favorite, very tasty

I don't know what happened. I thought I ordered 2-5lb. bags in an attempt to avoid the absolutely horriid and detestable burlap, and somehow I ended up with a single 10, in an extremely hairy and lint laden molting sack. I don't know if it was my fault in the ordering process or if the order was consolidated due to being the same bean... Either way my product is contaminated with foreign particulate, and hairs. Maybe it's not a big deal for some, but its hard to see, pick out, flammable, and not a part of any flavor profile, I wish to consume. 4 stars for the blend itself. Everyone in my family are strictly dark roast drip coffee people, and this blend is my family's favorite, though I recommend at least a week of post-roast aging for anything darker than a Vienna roast, to let the aroma and such bounce back after the brutal temperature treatment. I personally prefer a middle of first crack floral Ethiopian, but living one's life is not just one's own affair. So, I tend to drink whatever my family prefers. 5 stars on the shipping. It was right on time. 1 star for the packaging that has left my sweater, table, counter, floor, and beans covered in... burlap molt.

Well rounded blend, easy to roast.

My grandchildren and I have set up a small ( very small ) coffee business. We are providing freshly roasted coffee to our customers ( mainly family :) ). This has become our go to bean. The coffee drinkers love this roast! We do a darker roast and a lighter roast for specific preferences and both are great! LOVE CBC for their great product and amazing customer service.

I usually don't write the reviews. But I had to for this blend. I have tried over 25 different coffees. But Colombian coffee has been my go to for my Mocha/Cappuccino in the morning. If you are like me who drinks Mocha/Cappuccino everyday, then this blend is a must. I had enough complexity and depth that still through the milk. I use Behmor 1600+. Took it up to the point when second crack started. Immediately took it out and let it cool down outside.

Wow, this is a great blend. I roast on a stovetop with a whirlypop and it always takes a bit of experimentation to figure out the right heat levels for a new bean. My first roast with this coffee was very underwhelming given the high rating but the reviews were so good I was determined to give it at least one more go. I am so glad that I did, this blend is amazing, and now I'm inspired to experiment more to see what else I can do with this blend. I'm actually using this as pour over coffee as I don't particularly enjoy espresso, it's still outstanding and is delicious (as the latte descriptor suggests) with a little cream mixed in. The results are wonderfully smooth, chocolaty and delicious with just a hit of dark chocolate bitterness hidden in the aftertaste. Amazing. This blend is definitely on my "buy again" list.

Crema, Crema, Crema

I'm a coffee hound. I order beans from all over the world and make my own blends for espresso. I tried the Onobeano Blend and love the taste and texture. It's very well-rounded, smooth, with a wonderful complex bittersweet finish. Thank you Friends at CBC.

It's one of our favorites. I use a Behmor and do a full city roast. My coffee of the morning is a latte and this blend makes a smooth but full bodied drink. We love it.

I love this blend and this is 3rd time to purchase.

If you like a chocolate flavor for a Latte this is the blend. I have tried to duplicate it by blending other beans, but haven't achieved this great taste. My wife won't buy Lattes from espresso stands anymore. She hasn't found one that compares to this roast in my Sonofressco and brewing in our Jura super automatic. Whatever you do, don't discontinue this blend.

by Erik on March 7, 2018

this is my goto latte blend.. I roast it a little on the light side to achieve the best flavor

The Obeano blend is my mainstay. I think I've tried every Chocolaty/Buttery item in the the Matrix, and I always fall back to the Obeano blend. I'm trying a new one this week to see if it is as good, we'll see. Al Flowers Central Virginia Piedmont

This blend rocks! I love it!

This is a wonderful blend!!! It is very versatile. I did two different roasts with this: Full City and Vienna At Fully City, this is bright and chocolaty with some fruit - almost like a sweet Guatemalan with a dash of a Brazil plus something else for highlight. At Vienna (and I roasted on the dark side of Vienna) more nuts and chocolate came out while the fruit and brightness receded. The body became much fuller. No bitterness at all!!! I wish all major espresso chains carried this blend!!! You can roast it dark with out it becoming bitter. This is really a two for one blend: you can roast it lighter for a bright fruit laced latté or darker for a more full bodied chocolate nut latté.

This blend is exactly as advertised. Sweet and chocolately and yummy. I'm a confessed latte lover and this blend is so sweet, I now use far less milk in my morning latte than I used to with other espresso blends.
Your words make me feel proud - mahalo nui loa "anonymous"!!
