I typically buy single beans but do try blends periodically. I tend to gravitate towards Cental and South American beans. This is my new favorite blend. I use a Behmor and took the roadt to about 30-45 seconds past the first crack. I let my beans sit for 2-4 days after roast. This is such a smooth refreshing cup of coffee. It will definitely be on all of my future orders. Well done CBC

Drinking a cup of this now, and thought I would review. This blend is perfect for a morning blend. Took just into second crack, I will say, I wouldnt have took it so far -just my personal taste- but some of the beans were still at a city plus roast while others full city, so to get a even looking blend, I found that doing a full city plus with the lighter beans being full city worked as best as you could. Was ready to drink within, two days, and usually I wait at least four, but the smell was amazing. Dark, Bold, Chocolate, with a nutty fullness in the mouth, and some high notes from the fruit for a finish. Highly recommend, just dont expect to to do a city plus or a even a full city roast would show off such a array of roasts per batch. But with all that said, if you like darker roasts like Full City plus and love a pour over first thing in the morning, this is definitely something to put in your rotation. Will be picking up 25lb of this soon enough. Oh, and let your blenders know they did a great job getting this profile. Superb!

I bought a pound of these beans to try them as I don’t think of myself as a blend guy. I’m kind of a purist and generally go for for single source beans. This batch has me re-thinking that. What I love about these is they are an expression of the team at CBC, of which I am a big fan! Roasting them was intriguing, as there are a variety of beans. I tend to roast more by feel than science. I use an SR-800 without the big globe. I found these to roast very nicely-just into 2nd crack at 10 minutes. The truth came when I opened the vacu-trainer the next morning. The fresh intoxicating aroma had me at hello! This is a bold, rich cup of coffee. I really like the complexity and layers of flavor with a nice lingering after taste. You don’t have to choose between Earthy, chocolaty or floral; it’s all there, and balanced nicely. To sum it up, this batch has added a whole new dimension of enjoyment for me, the blender. This is a game changer for me. I will keep an open mind to blends and blenders. Thanks CBC for a terrific coffee, cheers!
