My wife got me this for the memories of Ann Arbor. And it did not disappoint. In fact, this is one of the best coffees I've had from Hyperion full stop. I froze it initially, to finish another bag of coffee. I decided to stop being sick just so I could drink this coffee. Of all the washed coffees I have smelled, this one had a notably sweet and floral fragrance coming out of the bag. I was sad when my sickness flared back up, and I had to leave the bag, which let more of the compounds release and the peak coffee went away.
I even tried it as espresso - it was fine, but I think that is more of a user chose to not dial it in properly and user is not crazy about espresso situation.
This was a delicious coffee and I would feel burdened by a 5 pound bag but ultimately happy. Don't overlook a region just because it is not one of the famous ones, or because they mix varietals, or because the tasting notes seem common (this is not the first "orange blossom honey" coffee I have had this year). I believe this was actually the same or similar green coffee that I really liked from Printer's Row Coffee. I liked this coffee so much I liked it from two different roasters!
As AeroPress, it unfortunately tasted muddled, and for some reason I got coffee fines in my drink. I enjoyed it most as a pour over and even found myself brewing 30g doses because of how amazing this coffee was.
