Join the Movement: Koffee Kult

As I hail from the Seattle area, I fancy myself a bit of a coffee connoisseur. I don’t have high expectations for coffee purchased of the internet, since I can go to a local roaster and watch them roast my beans. This bag of Koffee Kult’s Colombia Huila showed up in the mail, and one look at the squirrel with the crazy hypnotizing eyes has me changing my tune.

After staring at the squirrel for awhile, I noticed that the bag opening is very different than most coffee bags I’ve encountered. It’s like, a ziplock top, so you can squeeze all the air out and fully seal the bag, sealing in the flavors. I poured some of the beans into a small bowl to take a closer look. They were a nice, dark color with a bit of a shine from the coffee oils. This is a good sign - as it shows that the beans have not been over-roasted. 

My favorite way to drink coffee is black, and made in a french press. When I poured the water into the press, I noticed the water changed to a warm chocolatey color almost immediately. I gave the grounds a good stir, and went on about my business, allowing them to steep for several minutes.

Finally, I was able to pour my cuppa. Upon tasting, I found a mildly acidic, smooth coffee with a bit of sweetness. It is an excellent cup of black coffee.

The listing for the coffee states that the beans are organically sourced from Huila’s high mountain elevations. However, these beans are not certified organic OR fair trade which is really the number one priority for me when purchasing coffee. For this reason and this reason only, I would rate this coffee a ⅘ stars.

I did receive this coffee at a promotional discount in exchange for writing a review on this blog. Feel free to click on links to purchase, there are no affiliate links on this post.
