This is the second bag that I picked up from Cherry Coffee Co. during their recent appearance at the Dallas Coffee Festival. Unlike the Hang Around Blend I reviewed previously, which is a wonderful medium-roast blend intended for espresso, the Colombia La Roca is a limited-edition light-roasted single-origin bean.
