Cafe Quindio Specialty Harvest - 100% Colombian Excelso Arabica Coffee (8.8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Sweet Chocolate Notes)

this is excellent coffee. there is nothing else to say except that while reading the paper and having your morning cup of coffee you noticed that this was a really excellent cup of coffee.

Good aroma

These coffee beans came in a resealable bag with a one-way valve for the CO2 to escape. They were roasted on 5/17/2024. Pull a triple shot and made latte with it. It tasted very pure and a little chocolaty. I was afraid they might be stale since they were roasted more than 2 months ago, but with the sealed bag and one-way valve, the beans were not stale.

I found this is be more acidic than my usual coffee brands. I added a little more milk than usual and that helped balance it out nicely. The flavor is good and there definitely is a rich, chocolatey/caramely taste. All-in-all, this makes a decent cup of coffee.The beans were easy to grind and tasted fresh. The bag is resealable and the bright blue color is fun sitting on my counter. I typically buy 1Lb bags for this price, so getting only 8.8oz with this bag does not feel like a great value.

Light medium roast, it’s acidic with good floral flavors, balanced with slight bitterness.

This coffee is so smooth!!! Sweet, creamy with a subtle fruity note. Top quality. A must try for any coffee lover!

I was interested to try this type of coffee as I don’t recall having it before. Sadly, not my favorite. Castillo coffee is supposed to have a fruity taste, but I didn’t taste any fruit that I could name at all, even citrus. It just tasted green to me. I’m not a coffee expert, so I don’t know the proper terminology, but the green taste translated as bitter to my taste buds. I drink coffee black, so if you put in milk and/or sugar it may taste fine to you.

I’m no coffee connoisseur but when I drink coffee, I do know what I like. I do like this coffee especially with the subtle chocolate notes. I do add some sweetened non-dairy creamer so the flavor of the coffee doesn’t have any bitterness or acidic aftertaste. I do find this coffee a bit pricey so not being a coffee snob, I’m sure many of the more subtle nuances of this coffee escapes me.
