Up front: I am not a fan of blonde coffee. I fall solidly in the medium camp when it comes to my coffee beans. I was genuinely curious about how the Blonde Roast would turn out. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. The brightness of the coffee is on full display as you drink it. There are subtle chocolate and caramel notes that show up in the aftertaste giving the coffee a clean finish. The chocolate aftertaste becomes more pronounced as the coffee cools. I would without hesitation buy this coffee again.
