Fine Robusta Coffee

Créo's robusta is phenomenal, and that's not an overstatement at all. It is ideal for people who like a traditional American-style cup of coffee (dark, rich, chocolately, takes (alternative) milk and sugar exceptionally). I have been skeptical of Vietnamese robusta coffee given that they are treated often to appear more rich and to mask the flaws in the beans' flavor and ultimately the coffee they produce. However, that is not the case with Créo's robusta. Within the first seven days of brewing pour over coffee and aeropress, the flavor and feel are out of this world. Chocolately, light caramel, toasted grain were the major flavors that came through. There were some light cherry sweet flavors, too. The feel was very smooth and rich. After seven days, a little oxidation set in, as expected, and the hallmark robusta sour flavor came through. The sourness was pleasant, like cherry blossom sap and dark toasted marshmallow. The richness and smoothness sustained. A little bonus is that the beans seem to have just a little more caffeine than I'm used to. My first cup with 20 grams of beans had me feeling elevated the entire day, which is uncommon for me. I dropped it to 16 grams and found that to be more aligned with my body's ability to handle caffeine. I love this because every 5th cup is free since I only have to brew 16g instead of 20g. The bag lasts longer, and I get to enjoy super satisfying coffee for an extra week. Three weeks in and I've nearly consumed the whole bag, and it won't be long before I get another. I want to go find the farmer who produces their beans and congratulate him on performing downright magic. Though I love light and medium roast Arabica coffees from East Africa, I highly recommend Créo's robusta as a cornerstone or a switch up in your coffee routine.

This coffee is one of my favorites(I drink it almost every day now :,)). Highly recommended. It's also ethically sourced AND for a good cause, Creo is awesome.

Shipment was received on time and very clean…

Before you even brew the coffee, you can smell the depth and richness of this coffee. Once brewed, the caramelized nutty goodness comes through even more and you'll wonder why you ever drank mediocre coffee. Add some condensed milk and it will hands down be the best cup of ca phe sua da you've ever had!
