Balansert

The whole roaster-collaboration angle actually shows in the cup — this is a really balanced, smooth pour-over with almost no bitterness. I've been drinking it black every morning for two weeks and it's become my default bag.

I was skeptical about the whole public label concept at first, but the collaboration really shows in the cup. Clean, balanced flavor with none of the bitterness I usually get from grocery store beans.

The medium roast pulls a really smooth shot with almost no bitterness, which surprised me since I usually need extra syrup. Been drinking it black all week, and the crema alone makes it worth the switch.
