Carta Coffee Merchants Family Tree Block 2025 Medium is a delightful expression of a tropical breeze in a cup. It’s refreshing, enticing, and a perfect way to start your day. The same Kona coffee bean used in the dark roast is here, but this medium roast offers more complex taste profiles. Comparing it side by side, you might think it’s two different beans, but they’re the same—the roast is different, and the result is a tribute to the intricate ecosystem of Kona.
When I opened the bag, I was greeted with a sweet, fruity, and floral scent. Unlike the fiery, earthy aroma of the dark roast, this one had a hint of chocolate and spice, bridging the gap between the two offerings. This enticing aroma filled the kitchen as I brewed the coffee, setting the stage for a wonderful experience.
What impressed me the most was the naturally sweet taste of this coffee. It’s fruity with hints of chocolate and a delightful crisp tart cherry finish. It’s the perfect cup for a leisurely weekend morning.
The acidity is where the Family Tree Block 2025 Medium Roast shines. First, the acidity is low, so it won’t get sour or tart as it cools down, giving you plenty of time to enjoy. Second, it’s juicy and sparkles in your mouth, with an everlasting quality.
The body is very smooth and full without being heavy. It has an even spread on your palate, enhancing your tasting of this fine coffee.
When I added milk, I was surprised by the transformation. The cup went from a relaxing morning cup of coffee into a dessert cup of coffee. The spice of cinnamon and milk chocolate became the main flavors.
Overall, Carta Coffee Merchants Family Tree Block 2025 Medium is an outstanding representative of Kona coffee. It’s complex, rich in flavor, and easy to drink.
