모나코

The darker side of medium is exactly right here, still smooth enough to drink black but with a nice cocoa edge. I've been pulling it as espresso and it holds up with a thick, syrupy body. Genuinely one of the better bags I've bought this year.

I've been brewing this in a French press every morning and the East African beans give it this subtle fruity note that I wasn't expecting from a darker roast. It's smooth enough to drink black, which is rare for me.

The darker side of medium roast really comes through in the cup—deep and rich without any bitterness. The blend of Latin American and East African beans gives it that nice complexity, and it holds up beautifully in a french press.
