Roaster / coffee recs please

Hey so I've been kinda digging into coffee lately. I'm still a bit clueless newbie kinda gal so be gentle ha.

I bought the Pact advent calendar thingy a year or two ago and I definitely opened my eyes to coffee being better than bitter toilet water doused in foamy milk and a gallon of sugary syrup served in Starbucks.

I've been exploring a little more so I feel like now I do have an idea of what I like, ish.

The one from Pact I did enjoy was Fazenda Reis. I like that it's quite rich and has good body, smooth and creamy. Sweet but not overly sweet. I especially liked that it wasn't bitter or at the other end, too acidic.

I've now bought a new grinder (K6 yay!) and a new french press so I'm now wanting to up my game!

I'd like recommendations for good coffees I can try from speciality roasters but I think I'm at the other end of the scale from what's popular right now. I'm not looking for a light roast, fruity floral tea-like coffee. I did buy a few of these and didn't love them if though I could tell they were a better quality bean/roast than what I'm used to.

Any recommendations closer to Fazenda Reis but just better?

Thanks in advance 💜🙏
