Angels’ Cup is a subscription coffee sampler that offers several ways to discover great coffees. Aside from the Cupping Flight and the Black Box, excellent subscriptions showcasing good to exceptional coffees, Angel’s Cup now offers the All-Star Box. The All-Star Box provides a single variety of bean that has impressed the Angel’s Cup team sufficiently to be a featured offering. Unlike the other samplers, the All-Star box provides a single bag of coffee, though at 12 0z it is the largest of the samplers by volume.

The information sheet provides more details about the featured roast.  It clues you into flavor notes that impressed the tasters, telling you why this bean was chosen as an All-Star. This subscription has a robust mobile app – see the details about this app in my cupping flight review.

Every roaster includes a roast date, so you know you are getting their freshest offerings.

The All-Star selections ship directly from the individual roasters and are packed in the roaster’s own commercial packaging.

Some bags have tons of info on the beans or roasters; others like to keep it simple. Brandywine Coffee Roasters goes into quite a bit of detail regarding the origin and production process.

I love the way that both the roaster and Angels’ Cup provide different tasting notes on the coffee, but they each are accurate! The strawberry flavor was distinct and very upfront, with a sweet lemon brightness throughout. The body is creamy, with some juicy stonefruit flavors. This is a really great selection – I love that it has vibrant and unusual flavor notes, but it is not a novelty, but rather delightfully drinkable and suitable for an everyday coffee, too!
