Presentation (packaging) is nice, and I appreciate that you included a very nice measuring spoon. And I do appreciate your ministry around the world!
The coffee itself is not what I expected. The beans are a very light color, and smell “grassy”. I don’t know how else to describe it; kind of like from a pasture and not a tree.
It doesn’t taste like coffee. There isn’t any bad aftertaste, but the flavor itself doesn’t say “coffee”. I lived in Brazil for 16 years, and don’t remember any coffee tasting like this.
I’m used to medium roast coffee, so the “strength” isn’t the issue. I have experimented with different amounts and grades of grinding, and it’s not helping.
I usually drink my coffee black, but with this I’ve been adding a bit of cream to improve the taste.
I will use the whole 1# package since the cost feels like a waste if I don’t. I’ll probably get another coffee that I’m familiar with and make a “blend” with this.
Sorry, I really want to love this. I probably should have tried a different one from your selection, or chosen a variety pack.
Hi Karen,
Thank you for taking time to try our coffee and share your feedback on it — and for your encouragement around our ministry and packaging.
As far as your feedback on the coffee, we have found our Brazilian beans shine best as a lighter roast, which brings out more herbal, grassy notes rather than the deeper profile of a medium roast, so we intentionally roast them lighter.
We absolutely understand that everyones tastes preferences are different, as coffee has a beautiful way of making imprints in our memories tied to special times in our life (Im sure you have so many good memories of drinking coffee in Brazil!) and can effect how we interpret coffee taste.
We’re grateful you gave it a try, and we’d love to help you find something in our lineup that feels more familiar to you next time, something that can remind you of those good times in Brazil! Please email me at info@rrc.coffee or give me a call at 720-745-0158 and I can help you look at all the different roasts we offer.
