Blind Assessment
A subdued cup, but pleasantly balanced with pungent and sweet tones that together read as prunes, dried fruit or, in a bit of a stretch, chocolate.
Notes
A subdued cup, but pleasantly balanced with pungent and sweet tones that together read as prunes, dried fruit or, in a bit of a stretch, chocolate. The bag declares it contains "100% arabica coffee." In this case, not half-bad arabica coffee either. Sold whole-bean in a foil valve bag. Cost per ounce: $0.50.
Who Should Drink It
A good, low-key cup in the bittersweet, darker roast mode. Not particularly cheap, however, and as a specialty (rather than supermarket) dark-roast coffee I would place it in the middle of the pack.
