Amelia Z. ★★★★★

The raspberry candy note is surprisingly bold for a dark roast — I wasn't expecting that level of sweetness to come through. Even as espresso it stays smooth, with the orange rind adding a nice zing on the finish. My morning cup's been the highlight of my day since the bag arrived.

Ella Z. ★★★★★

The dark roast holds its own in milk, and I’m catching that orange rind tang on the finish every single sip. The milk chocolate comes through creamy, not bitter, which surprised me for a roast this deep. Already ordered another bag.

Christopher ★★★★★

That raspberry candy note is no joke—it comes through sweet and bright even with the dark roast, and the orange rind adds just enough zing. The natural and washed process combo gives it a complexity I didn't expect from a bag this affordable.
