Blind Assessment

Reviewed for brewed applications. Chocolaty, gently bright. Date, milk chocolate, crisp pear, sassafras, hint of gardenia. Round, gentle acidity; creamy-smooth mouthfeel. Chocolaty, sweetly herbaceous finish.

Notes

A blend of two coffees, a washed Colombia and a natural-processed El Salvador. Ragamuffin Coffee Roasters is a specialty roaster based in Newbury Park, California. Visit www.ragamuffinroasters.com for more information.

Bottom Line

Despite its intended application as espresso, Better Day is a nice omni-blend for pour-overs or batch brews. Very sweet, with a gently tart undercurrent and especially syrupy body. (Pro tip: It’s also good as intended, both in the straight shot and in milk.)
