15 RIOSCOFFEE, ESPECIAL, Arabica Colombian Whole Bean or Ground, Medium Roast, from Sevilla, Colombia, 100% Sustainable, High Q Grade Score +84.5, Single Origin, 12oz bag

I LOVED this coffee! It has a nice level of acidity, but is smooth at the same time!

In terms of flavor, aroma and freshness, this is easily one of the nicest whole-bean coffees I've had. It's extremely aromatic, with the beans themselves having notes of chocolate, caramel, and fruit. The beans are not at all oily, which suggests to me that they've been carefully and lovingly roasted so as to retain the oils that impart all of this incredible flavor. This pays off, as all of this complexity makes it straight into the brewed coffee, which isn't overly acidic or bitter (depending on brewing method, of course). I use it for pour-over, and it produces a cup of flavorful, complex coffee with obvious fruit and vanilla notes both on the nose and palate. It's honestly been a joy to brew and to drink.

Very good coffee, it is filled with a lot of chocolate and sweetness in its flavor profile. I couldn't taste any green apple as they claim, though there is what I felt is a date-like and banana aftertaste to it. The coffee did give me a little difficulty grinding down, though. I needed to just re-grind it about three tines despite using my most powerful machine, which is interesting. So you might have the same issue. But it brews nicely, and the aroma will instantly make you swoon. There's no bitterness in sight, simply a smooth drink throughout. The value is a bit steep, yet it will not disappoint and impress.

This coffee was really tasty! It had a lot of flavor for a medium roast - almost more like a dark roast to me. Smells great and really enjoyed it black. It is pricey but you can tell it's high quality.

Would definitely get this coffee again. It is very smooth and rich with no bitter taste. I am not a coffee connoisseur, but I can tell when a coffee is bitter tasting and too bold for my liking. This coffee was perfect. A medium roast that, to me, tasted smooth and sweet. From Columbia.

The 15 RIOS COFFEE, ESPECIAL, Arabica Colombian Whole Bean is the (real) deal. Not like other coffee that claims 100% Colombia coffee. We travel to Columbia a lot. And while where there, we always get their coffee. We have gone to places where they process coffee, and learned the difference between good quality coffees and okay coffees. This coffee is of good quality because it does have the quality information that leads to their process facility. If you’re looking for quality coffee this the one

I start craving a cup of coffee as soon as I give the bag a little squeeze and the lovely aroma of freshly roasted Colombian bean emerges from the package. They grind beautifully and brew up a nice cup of coffee that has lots of flavor without any bitterness to overwhelm the taste.

I have reviewed dozens of coffees for Vine and this is one of the most aromatic coffees that I have gotten. Immediately upon removing from the box, one can smell the coffee through the valve on the bag. Grinding the beans, it smelled glorious, and likewise, the kitchen smelled like this coffee. It tastes very good too, nice and smooth and on the light side for a medium roast.
