The coffee beans have a medium brown color and are surprisingly oily for the claimed light-medium roast. Along with the oil, the coffee also has a surprisingly deep flavor and body for a lighter roast. This drinks more like a medium+ roast than the labeled light-medium roast. However it doesn’t have the heaviness of a darker roast, nor the bitterness which too often accompanies the dark roasts.
As seems to be true of most of these TJ small lot coffees, by the time you read this it may be gone from the TJ shelves. If and when it ever returns, it’s a nice coffee for people looking for a medium roast.
Price $8.99 (12 ounce bag)

bad news. I saw something on facebook that Tarrazu is being discontinued. Just figured I’d relay the message.

Thanks. I was just there yesterday, and there was none on the shelves. And nothing new either. This is going to make mornings more challenging.

Much agreed! That was a really nice medium coffee. It really stood out from the regular medium roasts on the shelves.

Perhaps they’ll take our advice and stock it regularly? 🤔

I have a running list of small lot coffees I’d like to see return. Some are also welcome to never grace shelves again. But yes, Flores was very good.
