I'M NOT DEAD!!1!11!!!!!!!1!!1
I'm sorry for not posting, I've just been destroying myself internally with school and I'm lazy and I hate myself. Can we continue? Gr8!
I received this blend for Christmas. I don't even want to know how expensive it probably was. Beans and Baristas is a small cafe in Evansville (IN) who sell specialty coffees, teas, and pastries for.. a lot of money. Not without sacrificing quality, obviously. I wish I could say more about how these beans are roasted or the qualities of the company, but it's hard finding information on small businesses and their suppliers, so unfortunately, we'll just have to skip it.
The roast smells so good. You do not understand. It is so sweet and swallows you whole in just this caramel/butterscotch-like warmth. Syrupy and thick, a perfect balance of both. There's just no other way to describe it. Highlander Grog sounds nothing like what you get out of this. The coffee is very balanced, nutty, and sweet, with a slight touch of acidity. The buttery-ness is where I can see people easily mistaking this for a specialty latte, had they not seen the coffee. It's very hard to accomplish something like that and I definitely believe I'll see about getting another bag once I run out.
I very much recommend sharing a cup of this with someone.
Overall 10/10. I wouldn't change a thing.
