I’ve been drinking this wonderful SHB for several months – one sip was enough to get my full attention and appreciation. It’s simply totally satisfying, deep and clean, a perfect wake-up. Just opened my next pound after this morning’s mug. Goes great with biscotti, eggs, whatever I’m having. I love this coffee (guess you knew that already). And yes, I left a review in July…but it continues to delight so I’m back to tell you so.

I’ve always loved Guatemala Antigua since the first time I experienced it freshly roasted, ground and brewed in my 20’s. It was hard to find until I came across Orens and gave it a try, and it did not disappoint. Now my new favorite is the Santa Rosa Los Alamos SHB!! What a smooth, flavorful coffee, can’t start my morning without. I don’t buy my coffee beans anywhere else but thru Orens, never disappoints no matter what I buy!!!!

Excellent. Unusually full-bodied for a coffee from the Americas. Velvety smooth and nutty.

This coffee is unusually luscious. I’ve experienced a myriad of coffees from just about everywhere and the smooth milk chocolate and butter flavors, subtle green apple nuances and delicate earthiness here are a fresh and new flavor profile for me. Besides the taste, buttery applies to the the texture as well; the full body is beautifully creamy and not at all heavy, it floats on the palette and and goes down like a custard.

I ordered this coffee for myself and my best friend and personal arborist of 30 years for his birthday. He called me after his first brew raving about the wonderful flavor. I agreed with him about the great flavor and felt good about my selection of this coffee as a gift for my friend.

This was love at first sip. Buttery is the perfect description. Oren you knocked this one out of the park. Just ordered 2 pounds. Keep this one coming.
