Blind Assessment
Subdued, sweet-toned aroma: cedar, hints of chocolate and prune-toned fruit. Round, simple, and rather richly bittersweet in the cup, with some hints of flowers, chocolate and prune. Deep, resonant short finish thins toward astringency in the long.
Notes
Purchased pre-ground in a sealed 12-ounce foil-laminated bag with one-way valve at a Safeway supermarket in northern California; 84 cents per dry ounce. Most likely this Kona blend contains the legal minimum of 10% actual coffee from Kona, which means it takes its character primarily from other (probably Central American) origins. Millstone is the specialty coffee brand of Procter & Gamble. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Coffee centrists: Nothing much stands out for the better or worse in this simple, agreeable, slightly roasty blend.
