Made with beans from Central America and Africa - a source description as vague as the coffee itself. Blends tend to lack character; most blends I've encountered are not going for character, they are simply going for strength. Aim for a certain strength with some sort of coffee flavour, and the customers are happy .I believe most customers are not looking for interesting contrasts and unique flavours in their coffee - they just want something that tastes like coffee (the coffee flavour you get in a coffee cream) and has the strength that they enjoy. This one is for those who like a mild flavoured coffee - no peaks, no toughs, little beyond the mid range coffee flavour. As such it works. but it's not a coffee that's going to attract those who like single estate coffees.
Simply bland, and while better all round than a basic economy blend, it's not by much.

I picked this up on special offer at my local Co-op. It's a mild, modest coffee, but it's not without some flavour. This is not an assertive coffee - it doesn't c all attention to itself, and it would be easy to drink it and not notice the flavours, but if you do pay attention, you'll note pleasant creamy chocolate edged with a tang of lemon to give it some balance and interest.This is not an outstanding coffee - it's main feature is it's lack of character and impact; but it is drinkable, and it is softly pleasant.
