The Setup: Upon opening the package, you are met with a nice medium brown bean and light, pleasant aroma. When brewed, that same pleasant aroma is met with woodsy notes. In the cup mild body, lightly syrupy mouthfeel and simple delicious flavors. In the finish, the muted sweetness turns quickly to a mildly bittersweet character.

The Delivery: A beautifully shaped mild body complimented by its pleasant aroma and woodsy notes makes this the perfect choice even for the most sophisticated coffee enthusiast.
