Guatemala Alotepeque from Conduit Coffee
I tried two of their coffees. First up was from Guatemala Alotepeque from Conduit Coffee. My first experience with Conduit Coffee Company was a success! This medium roast is a beautiful combination of fruit and chocolate. It offers such a unique flavor from start to finish and I love the subtle chocolate flavor. As the cup cools you get nutty under tones. This adds to the black cherry, peach and sweet chocolate notes already present.
A tea like coffee
Next up is Ethiopia Kaffa from Longshoreman’s Daughter Coffee. This is another medium roast coffee with a creamy body. It has distinct orange and raspberry notes with a chocolate finish. I won’t pretend to be a coffee connoisseur. Sorry folks that is my son. But I do know a good cup of coffee, and this is good coffee.
Fitzroy’s Blend Zoka Coffee
Is a medium body coffee that leaves a smooth sensation on your palate. It clearly has the subtle sweet notes of chocolate with a molasses finish.
Fremont Blend Ladro Roasting
Is a medium smooth body coffee that leaves behind a tea like after taste. The acidity presents itself as a more tame pear acidity. Fans of high-acidity coffees will enjoy this coffee. It has delicate flavors of Baked Pear, Rooibos, and Almond. It is perfect for an afternoon espresso.
Overall, I enjoyed sampling coffee from different places, and it was an added benefit that all of them came from Seattle. Though the subscription is a little pricey, the freshness is hard to beat. This would certainly make a wonderful option for someone like my son who is a coffee connoisseur.
Bean Box coffee certainly is a gift that keeps on giving.
