CANDY TIGER PORTLAND, OREGON, U.S.A.Coffee set (Nicaragua, 2 lb)

Great price great taste

Great taste. Seemed very fresh. I would really like to see a "roasted on date" somewhere.Bought a 2nd one when the description said, "hurry, only 3 left". This apparently means that batch was fresh roasted when I bought one, not so much on the 2nd which apparently sat for months waiting for someone to buy it. I should have known better.

If you plan to try brewing espresso with this roast, you may want to look elsewhere. These beans arrived stale, and the bag was leaking air. There was no roast date anywhere. I had a very difficult time pulling a good shot using these beans. Price would be fair for most other specialty coffee but there is no indication on the Candy Tiger website or on this listing where they source their beans, nor any indication that the coffee is truly shade-grown despite the product being tagged as such.Good for drip and pourover, even on the higher quality side for those methods.

Nice smooth taste for a low price, low acidcoffee.

Most light roast coffee offerings are more like medium roast with the result that the best coffee flavors are no longer there (that is, if the beans were of a high enough quality to produce such flavors in the first place). This product has excellent light roast flavors.
