I've ordered this one several times, I hope they can keep it in stock! It has fruit and chocolate notes and a winey feel to it, delicious.
I usually buy single origins, and sometimes forget how nice a good blend is. The Redd blend is delicious! It's smooth and toasty, I'll be ordering it again. They categorize it as a seasonal blend, I hope it's a long season!
This French Roast is really special. I love the aroma and all the flavors it has. I highly recommend it !!!
This bundle is amazing and so tasty. Thank you for quality beans that taste great. We will purchase again.
I have been searching for a full bodied coffee with a smooth finish and this is the one! Truly the best coffee I have had in a very long time🙏🏻
Doesn't fit in my car's cupholder. Ceramic interior coating is good, perhaps a 12 oz skinnier version could be made?
We actually ordered the Heartwood blend whole beans by mistake (we usually prefer the Meadow blend wholde beans). But its been a very nice acquaintance!
Black Oak's "light roasts" have become progressively darker. Apart from a subtle marshmallow note on the finish, the flavor of this coffee is dominated by char. Disappointing given the high hopes I had based on the other glowing reviews. Perhaps it will mellow out and reveal some other flavors as a cold brew.
Compares very favorably to boutique roaster’s blends in the northwest.
I didn't expect much from this coffee, but turns out it is pretty good. It is a little bit more bitter comparing to coffee from other regions, but nothing to worry about. It has its own remarkable flavor so I found myself preferring this coffee to another one I have on my shelf right now quite often.
Man, I love this roast! I am pulling exceptionally balanced shots, it’s my new favorite by a wide margin. My house guests are raving about it too. Espresso, cappuccino, latte, americano, all shine!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Ps: S.F. needs a Black Oak coffee shop!!!
Fruit notes up front, ending with hints of chocolate. What really stood out though was the mouthfeel. Perfect body, silky smooth- almost syrupy with the fruit notes. Reminded me of sipping on a good red wine! This was my first Vietnam coffee and hopefully it won't be the last!
This coffee is rich and bright. It has the berry and chocolate profile I love. It reminded me of other great coffees Black Oak has offered. Really good!
While the description certainly sounds appealing the reality is that the Orchard blend is roasted dark enough to bring out an ashy flavor and smell in a straight shot. The beans had a light coating of oil 6 days post roast. Seems a shame to take them dark enough to make ashiness/tabacco the primary lingering flavor after drinking a shot. Lowering the shot temp helps but nothing is going to completely remove the ashy taste.
This is my absolute favorite! I look forward to drinking each cup of Heartwood. It keeps me awake and feeling alert without the jitters. The flavor is delicious and by following Black Oak’s brew guide on their site, it was the smoothest cup of coffee! Love, love, love it!
This coffee is incredible! Amazing flavor and the right amount of umph to get my tired body and mind moving without feeling jittery. Love it!
Brewed my first cup this morning, and wow! I was literally jiggling the cup to get out the last drop. Intriguing, bright, and beautiful, this coffee is just as unique and enticing as the tasting notes suggest. Bravo, Black Oak--and thanks!
Hot, I get flavors of chocolate, red berries, and earth with a little bit of underlying funk and a toasted almond end note. Earthy and funky not being my thing (despite loving that unexpected toasted-almond turn), I was brewing it for my husband, who tends toward more traditional coffee flavors, and he really enjoyed it...until I decided to try it as cold brew and ended up hoarding most of the rest for myself. ;) It's not Wush Wush for me, but, man, is it a super-satisfying kick in the rump on a hot summer morning.
It’s so delicious!! You can taste the sweetness of the bean with a hint of chocolate. Love black oak !!!
Love Black Oak!
It's very good. But a little too sweet for me. It's a 5 star coffee but a 4 star for my personal pallet
Very tasty. Has a nice strong flavor and mixes well with most creamers.
