Blind Assessment
Sweet, caramelly aroma with a hint of nut-toned chocolate. Balanced though flat acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. In the cup almost cloyingly sweet: nut, caramel, a hint of raisiny fruit. Clean, rather rich finish when hot. Generally the cup deteriorated as it cooled, turning slightly sourish with a very faint off-note in the finish that suggested sulfur.
Notes
An instant coffee evaluated as mixed in proportions of 2.5 grams to 150 ml or 5 ounces of hot water. Assuming a larger cup size and a more generous 3 grams per serving, this product costs approximately 32 cents per serving. Visit www.tasterschoice.com for more information. Visit
Who Should Drink It
One of the two best instants we tested for our March 2011 reviews. When hot relatively free of the various processing taints that haunt soluble coffees.
