A Coffee Journey Chronicle

While not remarkable, this coffee offers a unique experience that deserves to be drunk as a ritual. One of the unique characteristics of Lacava is that the pictures on the bag perfectly encapsulate the taste. While tasting two or three of their coffees side-by-side, you could tell which coffee is which by looking only at the picture. My only regret is that it’s 200g instead of the standard 250g. ...

Coffee brought back from a short trip. Even though you can sense distinct gesha flavor, I wouldn’t call the quality exceptional, as the packaging claims. Pleasant notes were always accompanied by undesirable woody or smoky ones, despite my efforts to adjust the brewing method. It was best enjoyed while focusing on something else, not when pondering the coffee itself.

This one is a very comfortable all-rounder that I’d recommend to anyone willing to sip their daily coffee while doing something else, like working or reading. Lacava doesn’t disappoint, and the price is appropriate for the quality it offers.

Although not as flavor-rich as its predecessor, this coffee still ranks exceptionally high in overall taste quality. The flavor is exactly what you might expect from Yirgacheffe Ethiopian coffee - very fruity and sweet. As a whole, this coffee is a joy every step of the way. From the packaging to the unground beans, the aroma during grinding to the final brew - it’s a top-tier experience. ...

The bag design itself deserves some attention. Instead of a sticker or print, there is a designer label similar to the one found on clothes. A very creative and unconventional approach. Taste-wise the coffee also delivers on all fronts. I can’t say I felt mulberry (never tried a fresh one, though), but grapefruit and mirabelle plum notes were noticeable. Mexican coffee is also not easy to come by where I live. ...

It’s always a stress to try a new roaster. This coffee is a versatile all-rounder, which should suit a wide audience as their daily brew.

Although the bag suggests the roastery is very serious about their craft, I couldn’t say it was an enjoyable experience. The experimental processing method (fermenting with the lulo fruit) might have introduced non-coffee-specific flavors, which I consider a downside.

Lesson learned about “omniroast”: too dark for filter, too light for espresso. You should probably choose coffee tailored to your specific expectations.

The color of the label perfectly captures the coffee’s character. It’s sweet with a hint of sourness — ideal for someone with an adventurous palate.

A rare occurrence of a coffee with not a tiny bit of bitterness, just a gentle taste gooseberry juice. I’d recommend it especially to brew for friends who claim that coffee is bitter or souer. This one is neither.
