Equator Blend 12 oz

The dark roast really brings out that woody, spicy aroma they describe—perfect for my morning pour-over. It’s smooth enough to drink black, which I wasn’t expecting from a Sumatran blend.

The brightened-up finish on this dark Sumatran is what got me — that aromatic wood and spice note hits first, then it smooths out instead of turning bitter. I've been drinking it black every morning for a week and haven't gotten tired of it yet.

I was skeptical about a darker Sumatran being too heavy, but the brightness keeps it from tasting muddy. Been brewing it in my French press all week and the spice notes really come through without any bitterness.
