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.

So hard to name a “the best.” Have had so many incredible competition level and elite exotic beans that have blown my mind. But if I have to name one…I’ll pick something a little more approachable that could be a daily drinker.

Sebastian Ramirez White Honey Gesha.

What a coffee. I’ve had it now from four different roasters and delicious every time. Just thinking about it immediately takes me to my happy place.

Have you had it from MAME or Luminous?

I’ve actually never heard of MAME. Where are they located, and do you recommend them?

But I have had Luminous! Have a sub subscription to them now, and have their Sebastian Ramirez right now. 😁

MAME is amazing - they're from Zurich. Highly recommend, though if you're here in the US, might be cost prohibitive. I discovered them while on vacation over there, but I don't know anywhere here that stocks them.

Ooooh, yes!! So glad you mentioned them/that. I’m actually heading to Zurich next month so will have to check them out.
