Once a person has realized that caffeine is not the sole point of coffee and embarked upon the Upward Path of Better Brews, there's no turning back. They must. Keep. Trying. New. Beans. So you could think of this globetrotting sampler quartet as a sort of coffee connoisseur's care package. Choose from a set of four or five single-origin coffees, one with each of the following flavor profiles: Fruity : Light roast, usually from African origin countries with fruity and floral tasting notes. Classic : Medium roast, usually from Central or South America with nutty tasting notes. Balanced : Light-medium roast, usually from Central America with chocolate-y and fruity notes. Bold : Medium-dark roast, usually from Central or South America with dark cocoa notes. Extra Bold : Dark roast, usually from Africa or Central America with smoky and toasty notes. The specific countries of origin vary with the seasons, harvesting conditions, etc. Each type of bean is carefully chosen when green, then meticulously roasted in Brooklyn, to bring out its ideal flavors and nuances. A postcard with info on the coffee farm/producer, roaster's tasting notes, and facts about the coffee, is tucked into each box. Roasted in Brooklyn.
