Green Mountain Coffee:Single Origin Sumatra

 
This is my favorite of the coffees that Green Mountain sent me.  It is a dark roast, and as I have said, I am partial to a dark roast.  The beans are very aromatic, you open the bag and your brain perks up..”coffee? did someone say coffee?”

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters: Newman’s Own Columbian Especial

Of the coffees that Green Mountain sent me, this one was my favorite.

Allegro Coffee Red Sea Blend:Notes from a Coffee Dufus

 
I have been putting off this review. Honestly I have.  And I will tell you why.
