lagilmanI may have mentioned a few times that 2013 is going to get a little... crazy-hectic. And lo, a box did appear at my door, and six beany beauties were revealed....
(from Grounds for Change)
Will I like any of them enough to wean me away from my workday standard Sierra Nevada Columbian? Follow along, and we shall see...
First Up:
The color is nice (a sort of caramel brown) and it smells pretty, as one would expect from the description. So that's the aesthetics out of the way. :-)
The body is lighter than I'd expected, and without sugar surprisingly sharp in that first sip. A touch of sweetener brings out the nut flavors, while the caramel is a bare suggestion on the tongue, mainly in the finish. Very smooth. I think the emphasis here is on "delicate," which is enjoyable but probably not what I'm looking for in a breakfast coffee. It could be a very nice afternoon pick-me-up, though. A keeper, but not a winner.
(I will be going through each sample not quite one a day, but over the next few weeks)
