I got this as part of a sample pack of Barista Prima K-cups to sample and review. This was my favorite. Not bitter at all but very bold which is sometimes hard to find. The perfect blend of smooth and bold. I absolutely loved it and it just may be my coffee of choice from now on!
Really enjoyed it because it had the right balance of strength. I believe it compares well with the "house blend". Not as harsh as the "French Roast" and the Italian Roast which I think would be better used as an expresso.
I got this and 1 each of the Barista Prima varieties as a gift sample in the mail, I had hopes for this one and it starts out great and has a nice smell it is just not bold or strong enough for me. It comes so close but just not perfect, while it won't be a regular for me if someone offered me a cup of it I would not turn it down and as "Columbia" type coffees go this is one of the better cups.
I have been to Columbia several times and always get some Sello Rojo to take home, and this coffee which is not bad just doesn't do it for me. Does not taste like a true deep columbian coffee taste more like Folgers.
Pros: Not Bitter, Balanced Acidity
Cons: Roasted Too Light, Not Enough Flavor, Thin Or Watery Mouthfeel/Body
