Kudos to Tom Owen for finding this gem.

I roasted this batch to just a hair past city bordering on a city+ roast and I'm getting bright orange notes and some rather smooth tea-like aspects as well-- not as pronounced as the Gesha, but very nice indeed. A sweet and tangy finish with a combo of honey and grapefruit in the mix. I suspect taking it a little darker will intensify the sweetness a bit. Wonderful coffee.

I've had this as both press and siphon. I highly recommend both.

Thanks for the notes. I just got some of this and I guess I'll be roasting some this weekend.

I roasted up some of this and the Organic Yirg this week and I agree - the Oaklands was great as a press. Ironically I was only able to get decent to OK shots from it, but was getting real nice shots from the Yirg, which I only found "pretty good" as press. Well today I finally decided to move the temp around on the Oakland to see if that helped. I was going to do one hotter and one cooler, but the hot shot immediately brought the orange out, so I'm not going to bother trying the cooler. This was the first time I've ever tried to vary the temp to help a shot and I'm ever so proud. I'm fast approaching competency!
