Blind Assessment

A natural, vanilla-toned sweetness distinguishes a low-key but lively profile. Nut and spice notes complicate the vanilla sweetness in the aroma, but by finish and aftertaste the vanilla gently (and pleasingly) dominates. Little range or dimension; the vanilla is the main act.

Who Should Drink It

The best-seller factor:Bill Siemers, Orleans Coffee Exchange owner, says about this blend: "We use a full-bodied Costa Rica with medium acidity, a little sweetness and good flavor. We add the slightly darker French roast to give the 'roast' flavor that so many of our local customers look for. Widely used as an everyday offering at coffee shops and for iced coffee."
