Blind Assessment

Ken (rating 85) writes: "Simple and without nuance, but agreeably envelops pungent roasty and crisply acidy tones in a fundamental sweetness." Kevin (rating 84): "Some liveliness, substantial body. Correct but forgettable."

Notes

Polly's Gourmet Coffee, founded in 1976, is a pioneering Southern California specialty roaster. Polly's has stayed true to the original vision of specialty coffee: one store, one roasting machine, one coffee guy, zero stockholders. Visit www.pollys.com or call 562-433-2996 for more info.

Who Should Drink It

Those who enjoy a straightforward, mildly acidy cup with a roasty edge. May be forgettable, but it is enjoyable.
