Final Thoughts:

When I first received this package from Corvus, I was blown away by the attention to detail. A beautiful matte black canister, a painting to represent Central America, and an origin story/tasting guide. Immediately you know this is a company that has a true passion for coffee. Upon the first pour, I couldn’t believe the amount of tart citrus notes bursting from the cup, which were unlike the dark chocolate heavy notes I am used to in most coffees. There is a wonderful orange zest and pomegranate note that carries from the nose to the finish, which is both delicious and refreshing. I thoroughly enjoy this coffee, especially first thing in the morning to start the day on a high note! Corvus Coffee Roasters is making some delicious coffee, and will certainly be one I go back to.
