Blind Assessment
Cloyingly sweet and sharply musty - imagine the taste of mildewed nuts left sitting in a damp basement closet for a few weeks. The musty tones hint at cocoa but don't come through.

Sold roast and ground in a 11.5-ounce valve bag; 27 cents per ounce.Call 1-800-432-6333 for more info.
Who Should Drink It
Those curious about the impact of cheap Vietnamese mass-processed robusta coffees. (See The Robusta Fuss.)
