Alta Mogiana

i ordered this item on around 18th August and the production/roast date was 15th of August. I was quite impressed with the freshness and the beans also smelled divine. Taste is great too, though i'd say it has a slightly weird citrusy aftertaste. The packaging is a good quality and it fully seals up to keep the beans fresh, it is quite a tight seal and i've thought a couple of times that it might break when pulling it apart but it's holding up quite well.

I usually like brazil coffees for their lighter flavors. This coffee had a darker feel to it. Despite its light to medium roast it tasted as if dark roasted. Its flavor was difficult to pull out with pour overs but it made some of the best curtados I've had in the past month. Lovely coffee.

So, I won't lie, this coffee is really, really good but it isn't as strong as I was hoping. I think I need to play around with how I'm brewing my coffee because a higher coffee ratio drowns out the subtler flavours. Anyway, looking forward to trying more!
