This is the second bag I picked up from Monarch Coffee in Kansas City. Their space inside their shop is gorgeous, and I was really impressed with the free drip coffee they gave me with my purchase of this bag (check out my review of Monarch’s Colombia Finca El Cajon for more on that). This […]

Naturally, I had to bring a bag home! Whole bean: Creamy, earthy scent that smelled a bit like pinenuts with a hint of butterscotch. V60: […]
