Roaster's tasting notes
The verdict
Too dark a roast for filter — labelled omni but sat much closer to the espresso end. Not enough acidity, limited flavour, average finish, very forgettable. Probably the worst Blacklist I’ve had so far (several of theirs have been very good). Ended up adding lime to the V60 brew to bring up the acidity and salvage some taste.
What the roaster says
Our mission is to bring the best coffee experiences from around the world to you. Whether you’re visiting one of our local concept stores, buying premium coffee beans for the office, or making coffee at home, we want to make specialty coffee approachable and ensure that every single cup you drink is memorable. From single origin beans to specialty blends, we have a coffee for everyone to enjoy. We started in 2014 with a dream of roasting coffee that tells a story of time and place. Since then, our little roastery has grown and evolved but that dream has never changed. 100% Specialty Arabica Coffee.
