Roseline Coffee<\/a> is one of my favorite roasters to order from when I’m in the mood for something special. I follow them on Instagram and when I saw this coffee pop up on my feed, I knew I had to try it. It’s one of the prettiest bags of coffee I’ve seen in a while, and as a fan of floral coffees, I was dying to find out if the taste would live up to the packaging!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

V60: This cup had a lovely note of lavender with a sweet and slightly tangy finish. The flavor stopped me in my tracks, it was so gorgeous! Truly mouth-watering. As the coffee cooled, the coffee got sweeter and tasted of caramel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole bean: Sweet, fragrant, light aroma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chemex: This was similar to the coffee made in the V60 but sweeter. The coffee tasted akin to the caramelized sugar top you get on a creme br\u00fbl\u00e9e, with just a hint of lavender perfume. Delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

French press: The slight tang that was present in the V60 cup was turned up in this method, to the point where this particular brew method made the coffee taste like a refreshing lemonade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AeroPress: This made an intensely floral-tasting coffee, with a white sugar aftertaste. Adding some additional water to dilute the AeroPress concentrate wasn’t strictly necessary, but it was nice to drink either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/strong>: This coffee definitely lived up to my expectations – it made a satisfying cup of coffee in every method I tried, and I enjoyed all of them thoroughly. If you like light roasts and the sound of lavender flavors in a juicy, sweet coffee appeals to you, this is definitely the coffee for you. Roseline advertises this as their Spring Blend so I’d grab a bag ASAP while they’re still offering it for sale!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the roaster: lavender, bergamot, and fig<\/p>\n\n\n\n
