I had not heard of BeanFruit Coffee Company until very recently, but upon investigating, I discovered I was clearly behind the times, as they are a 2015 Good Food Award recipient, and they have had their coffees rated at 90+ points on both Coffee Review and The Espresso\u00a0Vein.\u00a0When people think of great cities for coffee in the USA, cities like Portland, Oregon come to mind… I doubt too many people think of Jackson, Mississippi! However, I’ve discovered over time that great coffee can be found where you least expect it,\u00a0and I was eager to try these beans, especially once I caught a whiff of\u00a0the heavenly fragrance coming from this bag.<\/p>\n

Whole bean: Wow!! The whole and ground beans smelled bright and punchy – this is\u00a0not a shy coffee bean. Sweet smell of juicy nectarine.<\/p>\n

V60: Complex, mysterious cup. I taste the nectarine that I smelled in the whole bean form but it also has a syrupy flavor with a hint of black pepper. Loved this! Medium-bodied result with a dry finish. When doing tastings, I normally will brew the usual 12 oz and drink just as much as it takes for me to get my notes down, but for this tasting, I opted to drink all of the coffee I brewed, just because I liked it so much.<\/p>\n

AeroPress: WOW. The concentrate blew me away. Nectarine, raspberry, and vanilla. Sweet as pie and smooth as silk.<\/p>\n

Chemex: The fruit was muted by this method but it also amplified the vanilla flavor. The coffee\u00a0also had a cream flavor to it with a hint of lemon on the finish which brightened it up\u00a0and woke up my palate. So, so good. The brew\u00a0smelled just like clover honey as it cooled.<\/p>\n

French Press: Compared to the AeroPress and Chemex cups, the French Press cup was less sweet and complex; it wasn’t a bad cup by any means, but I was definitely more blown away by having it brewed in the other methods. Still, it was definitely better than a lot of other coffees I’ve had!<\/p>\n

Summary<\/strong>: This coffee is a stunner. I am so impressed with the depth and range of flavors! For the sweetest result, go for it in an AeroPress (fruitier) or a Chemex (vanilla-ier). But really, I doubt it’s possible to make a bad cup with these beans. Absolutely lovely.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: I received this product\u00a0gratis\u00a0in exchange for a fair and honest review. Even though I received this for free, I treat and test it the same way as if I had paid for it out of my own pocket. And honestly, I loved this coffee so much that BeanFruit will definitely be making a repeat customer out of me!<\/em><\/p>\n

From the roaster: Vibrant, sweet melon, nectarine, complex<\/p>\n
