Not sure

It is good to try new coffees.

I have been using Costa Rican as an espresso. Not sure if that is the best method of brewing.

I normally use Monsoon Malabar and this is definitely more acidic with a lighter body.

I reserve judgement.

Will try as a pour over maybe

Excellent coffee full of nutty and fruity flavours. Great to sit and drink slowly.
