This one is S-tier. The carefully crafted and designed box truly matches the quality of every bean. During blind testing in cupping ceremonies with my friends — hosted 3 times with 4 different coffees each time — it won unanimously every single time.

Surprisingly few roasters put as much attention into the design of their packaging. Scandinavians truly excel on that front.

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.

I had the pleasure of meeting the roaster when I bought this bag. It’s always great to meet a fellow coffee enthusiast. Although I was intrigued by the story of Nepalese monks processing the coffee using goat milk, the taste was rather unoriginal. Never trust those self-awarded SCA points on the bag.
