This is a review for the Blonde Roast. I was looking for a change to my usual dark roast menu that forms nearly 90% of my coffee consumption, But you know how it is, after a while you want a little variety not just in brand, but flavor after discovering this from Wink, my dark roasts have been growing stale as I keep reaching for this instead. I normally brew my coffees with a coffee press, though I have a number of methods that I will make use of depending on mood, ranging from my keurig, to a pour over, Ethiopian stove pot, Bellini and so on.I've now ordered this twice and have just as of this review, subscribed to it I've come to enjoy it that much. Oh my gosh. This is *good*!!! It's got a great floral flavor without coming across as weak or as "coffee lite". The bloom on these beans has got to be seen to believed, it's almost foamy it's so fresh. The flavor as a result is very fresh, with a noticeable citrus/floral quality, silky smooth and a light nut/wood undertone. And if you're looking for a decent caffeine bump, you won't be disappointed, I often joke that if I give blood one can smell the coffee. I get a real zip from this in the morning, a single cup will wake you up juuuuuust fine.The bag is a unexpected surprise, this isn't one of those roll over with a coated wire band to haphazardly attempt to lock in freshness that one ultimately throws away in disgust/contempt. No this bag comes with a CO2 filter to allow those gases to escape, and a zip seal that is both easy and *solid*, other vendors could take a lesson from how Wink designed their bags, I have no need of my expensive coffee storage canisters with Wink's bags, I just make use of it as is.Finally, you get a fair value for your money, good* quality, great packaging, and Prime shipping.Don't over think this, you won't regret taking a chance on this and mind you, I'm normally into dark roasts and this wowed me, if you're a coffee drinker you know how tough that is for a bean to pull off. I hope I helped you in taking a chance on this vendor, I know how that goes, you get burned, and you get tired of taking a chance and getting burned for it. This is not one of those times, dig in coffee brother/sister, you will not regret it. If you thought this review helpful, give me a thumbs up so that I can tell I'm giving you good, actionable info to decide by.
