JarBee Coffee Seattle Blend Dark

Company: JarBee Coffee
Name: Seattle Blend
Intensity: Dark
Description: Heavy Bodied Blend of Indonesian & Columbian, Dark Roasted.
Purchase: Here

Grind: Auto-drip (was a free sample)
Preparation: http://coffeegeek.com/guides/presspot (20 ounce press pot - 5 minutes)
Amount: 2 Tablespoons
Water: boiling water, electric kettle
Additives: An ounce of half & half
Body: Medium
Smell: Scent of the ground beans is very strong and sharp, brewing mellows the harsh
Taste: strong coffee
After-taste: mild floral aftertaste to come to my attention when the coffee was cool enough to taste

Notes: Adding a ounce of half & half, as is my wont, did not eliminate the floral markers, but did curbstomp the bitterness that crept in as my cup of coffee cooled. Good coffee, but not so awesome that I would expend special effort to acquire.

Rating: 2/3

This was a free sample.
