Cup 1: Already much better than the Peruvian. Still on the acidic side for my taste but I may be able to cut that by adjusting temp and steep time. Can't put my finger on flavors, but it's richer and more complex than the Pachamama, though there's a slight stale taste on the finish.

Tentative 3.5 of 5 beans (pending 2nd cup).

cafe britt, organic shade grown peruvian Pachamama. Roast not specified, looks medium-dark.

8oz bag for $9, much less bean/$ than most of their other coffees. It's far too acidic for my tastes, and there's nothing interesting that really sticks out about the flavor profile. "Earthy" is about the only way I could describe it, really.

2 beans out of 5. Will not buy again.
