Mayorga 100% Organic Nicaragua Cinco de Junio Review

Mayorga Coffee Roasters is a Rockville, MD based coffee roaster. They offer variety of coffees from all the major regions. Like many other local roasters they focus on sourcing directly from the farmer and sustainable practices.

From the roaster:  Medium body with hints of toasted almonds and a long-lasting, bold finish.

Method:  French press

Several roasters (Counter Culture for example) deal directly with the Cinco de Junio co-op and I would be interested in trying their roasts against Mayorga's. I'll probably do a head-to-head Counter Culture vs. Mayorga post in the near future but for now on with the review!

Review and tl;dr after the jump...

Mayorga African Blend Review

Mayorga Coffee Roasters is a Rockville, MD based coffee roaster. They offer variety of coffees from all the major regions. Like many other local roasters they focus on sourcing directly from the farmer and sustainable practices.

From the roaster:  Full body with hints of cocoa and a bold, stout finish.

Method:  French press, I tried various extraction times but the results were pretty much the same across the board.
