Blind Assessment: Ken (rating 82) praises this coffee's "powerful acidity, big body, rich, wine-toned fruit," but complains "the acidity may be a touch bitter, finish astringent." Kevin (rating 85) is succinctly affirmative: "Caramel, nice acid-body balance, plush, simple, pure."

Who Should Drink It: Those who enjoy a classically simple, acidy, slightly fruity American-style breakfast cup.
