Balanced
4.5
“Chocolate and brown sugar with just a hint of tang. My new every-morning cup.”
I bought this bag myself. Nobody paid for this review.
My take
Balanced lives up to the name. It smells like chocolate right out of the bag and in the cup. Brown sugar and chocolate come first, with a very subtle tang that keeps it from tasting flat. It's medium-bodied, not too dark and not too light, and the finish is clean and short, so it never lingers and it's easy to keep sipping. A really dependable daily coffee that works great black.
