This whole bean roast ended up making a nice tasty beverage, specifically this vietnamese coffee made a lovely "Cuban coffee". I love whole beans- I can grind them at home for the perfect accuracy in my Moka pot. The roast seemed to be a true light espresso, and didn't have the "scorched" taste that some espresso roast can have. It has a slightly sweet, smooth, taste, almost reminds me of cashew nuts somehow, but more acidic. Honestly, the acidity was the reason it was a 4/5 on flavor but everything else was amazing. Highly recommend, and will be trying other roasts soon!
