We tried this morning for the first time coffee from @blkandbold. We ordered their dark roast beans. It was definitely interesting to see on its bag the description "lemon, bell pepper, full-bodied." We tasted a bean and it had a good taste to it. There was no strong lemon or bell pepper flavor to it. Beans grounded, water boiled, and then steeped in the French press. The coffee had the strong dark roast power to it, but the taste was light and crisp like a medium roast. Definitely recommend it!

Week 2 of my 50 State coffee campaign: This week's roaster is @sidecarcoffee from Cedar Falls, Iowa. I picked up a bag of their Malawi - Misuku Hills out of the Msese, SE Mzimba region. Having never had coffee from Malawi before, I was quite excited to try this roast. I was instantly rewarded with aromatics of caramel and sweet fruit. I brewed using the Kalita Wave method which led to a wonderfully sweet cup of coffee filled with notes of raisin and caramel. Thanks Jed for the recommendation! . . . . . . #50roasters50states50weeks #sidecarcoffee #sidecarroasters #coffee #coffeeroaster #coffeebean #iowa #iowacoffee #coffeelover #coffeegram #coffeelife #kalitawave #malawi #misukuhills #msese #mizimba #washedprocess #sidecarcoffeeroasters #cedarfalls @le_reebs @wvankirk @bricestu (at De Pere, Wisconsin)
