“Jammy, bright and a little purple. The light roast that won me over.”
Kuma sent this coffee for free. They didn't pay for the review.
My take
I'm usually a dark-roast guy, and this one still swayed me. It smells sweet, a little orange and a little toasty, and the cup is bright and tangy with a big orange-marmalade note, full body and no bitterness at all. It gets fruitier as it cools. Kuma's roaster called it "purple lemonade," and honestly, I get it.
What stood out
- Orange marmalade up front, just like the bag says
- Full body, mellow, zero bitterness
- Gets fruitier as it cools
- My pick of Kuma's fruity coffees
Who it’s for
Fruity-coffee lovers, and dark-roast people who want to be talked into a light roast.
How I brew it
Drip, black, through the Terra Kaffe Demi
