The verdict

A true omni roast and more flavoursome for it. Nice acidity at the front, wholesome body, but a touch too smokey in the finish for me. Rated 3, bordering 3.5. No roast date printed on the bag — not acceptable for a specialty roaster; roast date matters (you want to be drinking within 2-3 weeks of roast).

What the roaster says

Limited Release. We started in 2014 with a dream of roasting coffee that tells a story of time and place. 100% Specialty Arabica Coffee.
