Fresh Roasted Coffee, Costa Rican Tarrazu, 2 lb (32 oz), Medium Roast, Kosher, Whole Bean

I'm a bit of a coffee snob. I don't like burnt coffee nor do I like blonde coffee. I don't like acidic coffee either. I want a rich flavor that is pleasing from the first to the last sip. I keep coming back to this perfectly roasted (gentle side of full city) bag of beans. Sure, there are other types, regions, styles, roast methods, bean shapes, etc. But this is a highly consistent product, bag after bag. These beans work exceptionally well in a regular drip coffee or as an espresso. Woody but warm - the flavor is repeatedly enjoyable and smooth.

My hands down favorite. Chocolate and toffee with no burnt flavor and low acid. It requires no creamer to be perfect. I only wish I could still get it since it has been out of stock for so long

Great coffee for the price. Taste is good, not exceptional, but again great value

This is the best coffee. Smooth, flavorfu, not bitter.

Nice balance and low acidity. Very good cup as a daily drink. A true medium roast, not like so many others who produce a dark, oily been they deem as medium. Price is pretty fair and would buy again

I REALLY wish Amazon would separate these into their actual individual products, as it's unreasonable to review different coffees with entirely different profiles and roasts on the same review, but here we go. ============================== Edit - 6/25 - this portion of the review is for the Costa Rican Tarrazu, and I'd rate it... maybe 4 stars. I'm back and forth on it, but overall it's good, don't let the oiliness and roast smell out of the bag fool you. Recently a colleague from South America shipped me some local brand Tarrazu coffee from Costa Rica and I enjoyed it, it's a pretty nutty and floral experience. I figured I'd try Fresh Roasted's attempt. It didn't wow me at first and has a slight acrid scent right out of the bag, and is darker than I expected, but upon brewing it actually turned out better than anticipated. Flavor-wise, it's bright and a bit nutty. There's none of the floral while it's brewing, but it off gasses well and there's a hint of floral in the mug. Nutty and light is how I'd describe it. It's definitely a non-complex flavor profile, and singly nutty overall, but that's not a terrible thing. It's nice, and pleasant, even if it doesn't have the "wow" factor I get from the Brazil or Ethiopian roasts. I will say this one is very good with pour over. Still single note but the flavor profile really comes out well. I've done French Press and immersion brew with my Clever dripper on this and this one is actually pretty great with a finer grind via pour over. It's entirely possible some of the subtlety of the bean is lost with a french press brew. Half the enjoyment of coffee is finding out though. :) ============================== Edit, 5/18/2023 - bought the Organic Mexican coffee again to be sure the last bag wasn’t a fluke. It wasn’t. It’s just okay. I’d describe it as inoffensive. Better than most coffee of the grocery shelf but not by much. This is better than the likes of Dunkin’ Donuts or 8 o’clock, but a store brand like Gevalia is better. The Organic Mexican is at best a 3 out of 5. It's inoffensive, mildly better than store bought coffee, but there's better out there in this brand for the same price or less. Get the Brazil Minas Gerais, Tarrazu or one of the Ethiopian roasts instead. You won’t regret it. ============================== This original review is for the Organic Mexican, medium roast. Decent enough coffee for the price, but I'm not particularly impressed. I've really enjoyed the medium and light roast Ethiopian Yrgacheffe and Sidamo Guji, but this one's not as good in my opinion. Bag indicates flavor notes of cashew, pear, and brown sugar. You can taste the nutty hints, but the rest of the flavors are muted on the brew. There's pretty much no fruity notes at all, and I'd call this roast slightly on the bitter side, not getting the brown sugar. The ethiopian roasts were also light on the fruity notes, they were a bit muted compared to other roasters I've tasted, but at least it was there, and they're rather tasty when fresh. This one is just okay. It's certainly drinkable, and still better than most store bought coffee, but there's better out there for the price, and much better if you're willing to spend a bit more.

Smells great, tastes great, tested for toxins & mold, organic, can’t beat the better price!

This is wonderful coffee! I used to buy it direct from the grower, but now am able to buy on Amazon. I have loved drinking it and recommended it to family members. It’s available both in ground and whole brand. I recommend whole bean if you want the most flavorful coffee. A grinder is not expensive and very worth the difference.
