TEST RESULTS
After seeing Tyler from @commonlycoffee try this coffee out, I knew I had to check them out for myself. Tyler is always getting the best coffee! I'm really loving the unique flavor combination. It reminds me of a strong black Irish tea with a twist of lemon. The black tea finish really lingers and keeps you coming back for more. Personally I preferred this coffee brewed at a lower temp at around 198F, and with a tighter ratio of about 1:6.
