Blind Assessment
A clean, direct dark-roast profile. The dominant pungency is free of carbon and dances rather lightly on the palate, with some spicy overtones and space for them to echo.
Notes
Makes an amiable companion for seasonal desserts, with a clean, direct dark-roast profile. The dominant pungency is free of carbon and dances rather lightly on the palate. This decaffeinated blend displays a slightly more fully dimensioned and complex profile than the regular Starbucks Christmas Blend reviewed earlier. Why would a blend whose constituent coffees have been treated to remove caffeine cup better than a blend
Who Should Drink It
The holiday factor:Should make an amiable companion for seasonal desserts, easy on holiday-jangled nervous systems and (for a dark-roast) light on over-stimulated holiday palates.
