Pleasant rounded coffee. Easy drinking with some finishing bitterness edged with chocolate. Not a memorable coffee, but acceptable for everyday drinking. Easy to make.

This
is a bold coffee. It's so bold as to be almost blunt. There is some
balancing acidity, but it fairly plain, there's no fruit or citrus or
joy in it, it's just a bit of sharpness, a bit of acid, in the coffee.
And the coffee flavour is also blunt. Not crude, but certainly lacking
in finesse. It doesn't hover, it just pushes forward with a big mouthful
of coffee flavour that hints at chocolate, but doesn't quite deliver.
In its favour it isn't bitter or over assertive. It is a drinkable cup,
and it has body and flavour. It's just that there are no delights here.
There's nothing to savour. There's no twists. It['s a straight ahead
coffee. Bold or simple or both. It is what it is.
I just noticed that I had this coffee in April this year, under a slightly different name, and a different wrapper.
