Review: The Caribou website says that this coffee goes good with dessert. They say it has a hint of rare Ethiopian coffee called Harrar in it. They say it has a smoky berry finish. Blah blah blah!

Smoky? I say it tastes more like ash.

I was quite surprised at the flavor of this coffee this morning actually. Usually I like Caribou's medium roast coffees, but this one seemed to have a bit too much going on. You know how a child will color with a ton of paint, then mix it all together and get a brownish-grey color? That's what this coffee reminds me of. Ah well. You can't be perfect all of the time. Grey has it's place too. Just not in my morning cup of coffee!
