Saw this in Hasbean's special offer section, so I thought I would give it a try.

Banged an espresso out and wow! Spicy, woody with a wonderful honeycomb flavour! A rich and rounded cup. Superb!

Try it before he runs out, I say! I'm only posting this now I've ordered a few bags more :)

Ah well, looks as though I got the last. Or at least I hope I got some!

I've roasted a batch of this on my iRoast. For a single origin its surprisingly well rounded for espresso. With a lot of SOE I've had they've tended to accentuate one aspect predominantly. But this had a sweetness, a deep caramel I would say, a richness to the body. I have about 8-10 2kg bags (green) of various of Steve's coffees, and while I'll admit that the iRoast2 is not getting the most out of them, this libano has been the bean I've been most initially impressed with.

Made a very nice vac-pot on my Bodum Santos too. Not super acidity that can be nice for filter (I really loved the Nicaraguan Margogype for this), but it is, as darrensandford said a well rounded cup.

Yes, something in that range. Not much left, though...
