Elegant and complex, a key lime acidity is balanced by candy-like peachy sweetness, and lively floral aromas.

Understanding roast levels

Roast level affects both flavor and body. Here's what to expect from each.

Light

Best for: those that prize delicate flavors and a tea-like feel above intensity.

Light-Medium

Best for: those that enjoy juicy acidity and gently caramelized sugars.

Medium

Best for: those that enjoy caramelized sugars and a smooth cup.

Medium-Dark

Best for: those looking for classic coffee flavors with a kiss of roast.

Dark

Best for: those that love intense, smoky flavor and a full body above all else.

Trade Tip

Roasters don’t always agree on roast level — one roaster’s dark might look the same as another’s medium. We taste and assign every coffee our own roast level, so your matches stay consistent no matter who roasted them.

    Its good, but not amazing

    This was an enjoyable coffee from Steady State, but I don't think it was as good as some of their other fruity coffees. I spent a lot of time trying to dial in, but kepting getting muted / muddy flavor profiles which weren't standing out.
