Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Medium Roast Organic Whole Bean Coffee - Holler Mountain 12 Ounce Bag with Flavor Notes of Citrus Zest, Caramel and HazelnutUSDA Organic

1. Flavor Profile:The flavor profile of Holler Mountain is truly remarkable. Each cup offers a delightful symphony of tastes, with prominent notes of citrus zest, caramel, and hazelnut. The citrus zest provides a refreshing, bright undertone, perfectly balanced by the rich sweetness of caramel and the nutty warmth of hazelnut. This complex yet harmonious blend makes every sip a new discovery, pleasing to both the palate and the senses.2. Freshness and Aroma:From the moment I opened the bag, the rich, inviting aroma of freshly roasted coffee filled the air. The beans were perfectly roasted, exuding a freshness that is often hard to come by. Grinding the beans at home amplified this wonderful aroma, making the brewing process an enjoyable ritual. The enticing scent alone was enough to wake up my senses even before the first sip.3. Quality and Sourcing:Stumptown Coffee Roasters is known for its commitment to quality and sustainable sourcing, and the Holler Mountain blend is no exception. These organic whole beans are sourced from some of the best coffee-growing regions, ensuring not only excellent flavor but also ethical and environmentally friendly practices. Knowing that I am supporting a company dedicated to sustainable and fair trade practices enhances my coffee-drinking experience.4. Medium Roast Perfection:The medium roast of Holler Mountain is expertly done, striking the perfect balance between light and dark. It brings out the natural flavors of the beans without overpowering them, resulting in a smooth and well-rounded cup of coffee. Whether brewed as a pour-over, French press, or espresso, this roast level provides consistent quality and flavor.5. Versatility:One of the things I appreciate most about Holler Mountain is its versatility. It tastes fantastic no matter how I prepare it. For a bright and crisp morning coffee, I use a pour-over method that highlights the citrus notes. For a richer, more indulgent afternoon pick-me-up, the French press method brings out the caramel and hazelnut undertones beautifully. This adaptability makes it a great all-around coffee for any time of day.6. Packaging:The packaging of the Holler Mountain blend is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The 12-ounce bag is resealable, which helps maintain the freshness of the beans over time. The design is sleek and modern, reflecting the quality and care that goes into every bag of Stumptown coffee.Conclusion:Stumptown Coffee Roasters' Medium Roast Organic Whole Bean Coffee - Holler Mountain is a standout product that delivers on all fronts: flavor, aroma, quality, and versatility. The complex flavor notes of citrus zest, caramel, and hazelnut create a delightful and memorable coffee experience. Coupled with the company’s commitment to sustainable practices, this coffee is a true winner. I highly recommend Holler Mountain to any coffee lover looking for a premium, ethically sourced coffee that delivers exceptional taste with every cup.

These beans made a very good cup of coffee. I am in the process of trying different beans from different parts of the world but will consider ordering these again.

First time trying this brand and I am satisfied. Made a delicious iced latte. The only down side is that it is expensive compared to some other brands because I can get double the amount of beans for that price. It’s a 5 star taste but getting 4 for the price.

This is an excellent Arabica bean with full bodied aroma and flavor. It's different from other coffees I've enjoyed over the years in that it has a pronounced after taste/effect. It seemed to present a "ringing" flavor sensation at the finish. I can think of no other way to describe it. It could be the pH level, but I have no way to measure that. The bag mentions a fruitiness and that may be a clue. Whatever it is, I will continue to buy it and mix it with my french roast beans, which would be the right blend for my taste.

Awesome cup of coffee both hot and iced! Black or with creamer this was an amazing smooth cup of coffee with great taste! I use pour over hairo V60 and the aroma is awesome too while brewing. Overall very good experience with this Stumptown flavor!

It was not good at all for me. This brews weak so flavor isn’t as strong but no matter how I prepare it always had a very bitter acidity kind of taste. Not saying it acidic just tasted like it

Delicious, rich, full bodied flavor! Shares top spot with Le Colombe Nizza Medium Roast as one of our favorites!

I may be in the minority here, because in reading reviews for the Holler Mountain whole bean coffee before ordering, there seems to be plenty of satisfied customers. But today, after brewing yet a another pot of this coffee (pour-over method, filtered water, ceramic pot and filter, etc.), I came to the sad conclusion that it's maybe time to become a full-time tea drinker. With the environmental challenges of growing coffee in a warming world, I know I should be grateful that coffee is still available at all. But this coffee, as well as other recent whole beans purchased through Amazon, is like drinking something my great-grandfather described as the ersatz, brown liquid they had to settle for in place of real coffee during WWII in England. This medium-roast coffee is perplexingly thin and one-dimensional, with a flat mouthfeel and very little actual coffee flavor. And making it stronger doesn't help at all. The only positive things I can say about it is that the beans seemed fresh and had a best-by date several months into the future, it's a true medium roast, and the beans were not burnt or bitter.In visiting my local WF Market, I've seen 12- and 14-oz bags of whole-bean coffee going for around $25, and maybe that's what one has to spend to make a decent cup of home-brewed coffee now. And it's no use railing against a warming climate that most of us have contributed to, so I guess foregoing coffee -- at least beans that I can afford -- may be a justifiable penance and a necessary sacrifice.
