I'm not sure. It doesn't even have flavor notes on the page. I would assume about medium roast, though, as many small batches like this are taken to medium.

It's a medium roast.

Very nice, although I had a 50/50 blend of Zapatista and Juan Tama coffee (I believe they were helping out after paramilitaries burned down some facilities).

It's one of the only coffees that didn't affect my gut in a bad way. I'm not a connoisseur however it was certainly something I'd get again.

Would you say it was worth the $31 (with shipping)? I do very much like low acidity coffees.

I think it was about £10-12 with shipping here, to the UK, however it was via a cafe in the Netherlands that is selling it online so the distance was shorter. I would personally say it was worth it for me.
