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.

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.

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. ...
