BF's Brew Review
Rating (out of 5): 3.25
Notes:
Orange, pie spice, cacao.
Comments:
Price reflects 20% discount on first order.
Grown by La Isabelita. The first mug wasn’t as nice as I’d hoped, so this one is dialed up and higher extraction.
Still comes up a bit short, not as robust as I’d really like. Kind of spiced, which is a nice touch, but overall blasé.
ST's Brew Review
Rating (out of 5): 3.75
Notes:
Smells quite nice like chocolate oranges and herbs. In taste, not so orange-y sweet. More like orange rind. Drying feel.
Comments:
Interesting taste! Different to be sure. However, not so orange-forward as the one from Brandywine, which maybe is too “cliché” in its orange-y-ness!
