Colombia La Divisa Coffee
Four notes, and they cover a lot of ground: apricot, honey, cocoa and lemon. Honey-process Castillo, roasted light. On paper that's sweet, fruity and a little bright all at once, which makes it an easy-going light roast rather than a sharp one.
Pick it if honey, cocoa and lemon sound good to you.

See Colombia La Divisa Coffee →Ethiopia Duromina
Apricot, lemon zest and honeysuckle. That's a bright, fruit-and-flower list, and a light roast is how Verve keeps it that way. Heirloom varieties from Agaro, washed and roasted to order. If you take your coffee black and like it lively, start here.
Pick it if lemon zest and honeysuckle sound good to you.
Best for Black-coffee drinkers who want fruit and florals
