Charming roast, very soft acidity with a note of orange. Nothing complicated and does the fundamentals very well 🍊

Trying some new coffee at BrewBlood! So sweet and vibrant with berries and cherry. Bitterness is low with the acidity perfectly balanced.

Maybe I caught them on a bad day, as I've heard nothing but good things. Barista not the most welcoming and paper cup for a V60 coffee 😬

1st time visit I believe the shots had not been pulled correctly, leaving a bland flavour. Lacking balance with no contrast of taste.
