Blind Assessment
A classic but quiet, rather lazy cup. Caramelly, richly roasty aroma with ripe tomato, cedar and sweet orange complications. Similarly quiet in the cup, with a hint of chocolate joining the tomato, orange and cedar notes. Simple but rich finish.
Notes
Purchased whole bean in a valve-bag at a Safeway supermarket. The coffee in this Starbucks supermarket-issue Colombia is a standard Excelso grade, but brought to a darker roast than the competing 100% Colombian coffees sold on adjoining supermarket shelves. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Supermarket cruisers looking for convenience and a decent, roast-rounded breakfast cup.
