I saw these beans show up in our store (Northern Calif) about a week ago. The bag said "Medium roast" but with TJs it's a crapshoot on how dark they really are. I kept checking to see if any reviews on these beans had been posted here or other coffee forums, but no luck.
Decided to bite the bullet.
----------------------------
.. Opened the bag the next morning and ....drat!
These are more like medium-dark, with oil visibly present on the beans.
Nonetheless, I tried brewing using my Breville Precision and my Hario Switch. Both were a hard pass. Ended up "gifting" this to my office.
----------------------------
Just wanted to share my experience.
Has anyone else tried this one yet?
