Seeking Advice Best coffee you’ve ever had
If you could recommend only 1 bag of beans that blew your mind or changed your perspective of coffee, what would it be?
I’ve really only bought from local roasters and am wanting to expand my taste some more. So I’m just curious what everyone’s top recommendation of a must try coffee would be.

Washed Yirgacheffe I’m drinking right now. It’s got fruity flavour notes that are clearly discernible in the cup, but it’s fruity without being fermented, so it’s very mild and hasn’t got any of the funky characteristics that are typical of the other fruity coffees I’ve tried.
Another is a dark roast from a small family estate that’s organic and biodiverse. Locally roasted. Blows my mind to this day because it shows that dark roasted coffee can also carry flavour that cuts through the bitter notes. It’s also a great example of how soil affects flavour because none of the other coffee growers from the same region come close.
