Blind Assessment
A rather striking dark-roast coffee in its disconnected extremes of abandoned sweetness and charred bitterness. The only relief from this (to some exhilarating) contradiction are dry cocoa notes in the finish.
Notes
Sold whole-bean in bulk; 50 cents per ounce. This coffee was nominated by a reader from New Orleans, who found it one of "the two best cups I ever had."Call 1-800-522-7894 for more info.
Who Should Drink It
A take-no-prisoners style of dark roast that lovers of extreme culinary gestures may enjoy.
