This is the most expensive 12oz bag of coffee I have bought to date. I think it was more expensive than any 16oz bag I’ve bought, as well. It likes a fine grind, and has a long draw-down time. Taste-wise, it has a good bit of fruity acidity and a rather complex mouthfeel, with some flavors I can’t really quite identify. This is definitely a coffee connoisseur’s coffee, and while I’m not sure if the cups I’m brewing are the best they can be, I am enjoying them, and I am fairly certain that I couldn’t have brewed them as well a year ago. In other words, I’ve progressed to the point where buying top-shelf coffee isn’t a waste of money. Which isn’t saying much, but it’s something. 😀
