Blind Assessment
Heavily scorched wood dominates in aroma and cup, with hints of faded chocolate, clove and molasses. Acidity is folded inside the scorched pungency of the roast; mouthfeel is light and leanish. The finish is bittersweet and drying.
Notes
Purchased in whole bean format at Costco in San Leandro, California for an equivalent of $5.65 per pound. This coffee is certified organically grown. San Francisco Bay is one of five coffee brands produced by the family-owned Rogers Family Company. Visit www.sfbaycoffee.com or call 800-829-1300 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
Lovers of ultra-dark “French” roasts and organic agriculture. A little more flavor nuance at considerably less money than offered by most such super-dark blends, organic or otherwise.
