Blind Assessment

The bittersweet paradox is less intense here than in the Jeremiah's Pick French Roast, with a bit more emphasis on the sweet side of the equation and a hint of dry, pruny fruit. The smoothest body of the eight French roasts I cupped, suggesting that the roast drove fewer fats out of the bean.

Notes

Bittersweet, with emphasis on the sweet side. Relatively smooth body with a hint of dry fruit. This blend is the darkest of this famous dark-roasting coffee company's dark-roasted coffees. Not a typical Peet's roast, by the way. The Peet's Kenya reviewed this month as well is more representative.

Who Should Drink It

Hot food lovers who like a little complexity to survive on the far side of the jalapenos.
