Light Roast

Himalayan, Nepal

At breakfast in our Kathmandu hotel, I thoroughly enjoyed the coffee being served. I told the waiter how much I enjoyed their coffee and asked if he knew where they got it. He pointed north and said "...out in the mountains." They got it local! I was surprised --- I hadn't previously known Nepal was a coffee producing country. While my home kitchen isn't quite like that quaint hotel coffee shop, I can still enjoy this coffee I ordered from Cortez. It is marvelous

Coffee was great. So smooth. First time I tried Nepalese. I'm a coffee fanatic and it was a pleasure. It ships so quick being that I'm 3,000 miles away. Thank you so much for your great service and keep up the excellent work. Look forward to another purchase!

I love the coffee. It's the best!

It’s so good to know we have a local roaster who makes some dam good coffee! Support local!!

It was a gift for a friend in Canada I had to ship it to, so neither of us have tried it, as she hasn’t gotten it yet!
However it sounds good and I’m getting some in an order that my friend Anya is making for us to consolidate shipping, as I got some of your C.R. peaberry beans for her in my last order!

Very tasty and smooth . I prefer a bit more full bodied coffee

I'm in love with this stuff. As a fellow coffee roaster I appreciate the time and care that goes in to creating a fantastic blend

Love this coffee and keep coming back to it after trying a sample. Even though it's noted as being a light roast, it has wonderful bold roasty notes. Simply delicious.

Although the House Blend beans are light in color, they have a delicious and robust taste. We’re enjoying it very much!

We absolutely love the coffee from Cortez. It’s always so fresh and tastes delicious! We also love that we’re supporting a local business!!

This coffee has a very nice flavor; however, it still doesn’t have the robust mouth feel that can hold up to half-and-half I’m looking for.

I have flirted with different Cortez Coffees and always come back to Apex! I love this Coffee, it is so balanced and smooth and those caramel undertones are what dreams are made of. Thank you Cortez Coffee!

Well ballenced. Pulls a good shot.

Lovely taste unlink any other coffee I have tried, from Cortez or others. Make for delicious espresso, with or without cream/milk.

My husband and I tried out several different blends and they were all delicious. We particularly like the Primo and French Roast and will be ordering more. This is some of the best coffee you can get in the valley! Processing and shipping is fast and easy.

I sampled the Mr. White, the House Blend, and the San Francisco Experience. All were great. I did realize that I am more of a med-dark roast fan, the ulta light roast of Mr. White was different, it lacked the bitter roasty flavor I'm fond of, however, it did give a new dimension to other coffees when I'd mix them and it definitely gave a caffeine kick.

The House Blend and SF Experience were both fantastic, I think the House Blend was my favorite. All great coffees and I loved the sample sizes so I could try things out. I'll be ordering more of the House Blend for sure and likely the SF Experience. Thanks again!!

I purchased four different medium roasts and each has a deliciously distinct flavor. Plus the stomach issues other coffees have caused are non-existent with the local roaster’s beans. Win Win!

I refuse to drink anything else. My husband and I got new espresso machines and this is the only coffee we use and it’s amazing! All flavors are rich and unique but all so delicious!

All coffees are excellent.

My fav coffee !!

I've order many times without any problems or delays, this time I am still waiting for the delivery of my product :(

Like drinking a nutty tea. I've tried espresso, and pour over

First, my order shipped the same day I ordered and arrived quickly and in great condition.

About the coffee - I loved it. This coffee is delicious. Earthy and tangy. The roast is on the lighter side for my tastes, though it still works well with some half and half, if that is your thing. I will likely buy some more before this "nano-lot" of Cameroon Boyo coffee is gone.

Another bonus is the "More than Fair" trade terms Cortez Coffee practices. One can feel good that a good portion of the purchase price actually goes to the origins of the coffee.
