Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters Thogarihunkal Estate Washed - Medium Roast | French Press Grind 250g | 100% Arabica Beans | Specialty Coffee | Freshly Roasted Ground Coffee

The beans have no aroma and appears to be a very old (?) or a bad roast.Edit: just learned about degas and rest duration. Will wait for 5-7 days more, before making another shot.Edit: these are one of the best coffee beans I ever had. Very aromatic and perfect taste.

Oh boy where do I begin? This is really one of the best coffees I have had! I have been pulling my espresso shots and making lattes at home from last 5 years. After staying for so long in the US and moving back to India couple of months back, I was really not sure where I would get freshly roasted, superior quality arabica beans in India. The ones you get in some stores are stale and roasted months back. Blue Tokai coffee beans are roasted after you place an order with them and they deliver them right away! First, the shot I pulled had a rich aroma and a fantastically balanced flavor. The roast level (medium) was just absolutely perfect! Second, the way they pack their beans and write “specially roasted for xyz (customer’s name)” is just pleasing! I would probably subscribe to their supply of beans! I am really blown away by the freshness and flavor of this particular roast “Thogarihunkal Estate HSD”. I could get the notes of blueberries after pulling the shot and of apricot before grinding the beans. Overall a fantastic experience with these beans! Highly recommended for espresso and specialty coffee beverages lovers!

First of all I am really impressed by the packaging and seeing my name certainly adds an extra personal touch. I am very happy with the quality of the coffee. Flavor is exactly what is the written in the description which is vanilla and strong hint of Citrus with moderate bitterness. Select something else if you prefer classic chocolaty flavor. I brew my coffee with the classic Hario V40 which really enhances the depth of the coffee aroma. Blue Tokai website has all the different variety of coffee which you can order, I wish that they make those available on amazon as well.

Tried this on a whim, since the flavor profile mentioned grapes and almonds...This is much different from the usual dark roast Vienna.The taste is not at all bitter. Would be a good option for non black coffee drinkers. The after taste is mild and lingers on for some time as a pleasant taste.Gotbthe French press grind. Would definitely try the whole beans next time for an even fresher experience.

I am a heavy coffee drinker. I got myself espresso machine and have tried capsules and ground coffees from Nespresso, Lavazza, Barista, CCD, Freshbrew, VERO, Bonhomia, Coffeeza, Starbucks and Davidoff. I must say that Blue Tokai ground coffee is right up there with the best. It is fresh and tastes superb. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻

1) Quite delicious, the light bitterness ending in a long lasting sweet heavy mouthfeel. Creates some crema in my moka pot, the emission of carbon dioxide indicates its a fresh roast. I have always bought coffee from Blue Tokai. Till now nachammai is my favourite , thogarihunkal comes a close second. Bibi plantation, ms estate organic and monsoon malabar are on my next buy list.2) I was accidentally delivered the wrong grind, whereas i wanted whole beans. I merely pointed it out to them. But what i never expected is an email stating that a fresh packet of whole beans is again being roasted and was to be delivered asap. Received the freshly roasted beans within two days (and i stay nearly 1500 km away). Now, that's some top priority delivery.

I am not sure if it is 100% arabica coffee without any additions. I say so because the color of the brew is brownish rather than dark brown - black. Also, I have to add more than the usual standard measure and brew longer to get any intensity out of it.As for the flavor, I really couldn't discern much. Its more of a medium-dark roast and has no outright character or significant standout notes. Basically, its bland and very uninspiring. I would avoid this brand outright as most of their coffee blends seem to be adulterated.

The aroma and taste are fantastic. Found it better as black coffee when made in french press. Not the kind of taste that punches you in the face but rather has a mellow and light flavour.

Good after taste -possibly better than blue mountain.

These are not freshly roasted to order or even recently roasted - Despite the description even stating that the beans start to deteriorate after 4 weeks, the beans I received were roasted almost 5 months ago.
