Review of Major Dickason's Blend
First impressions are important. When I first smelled of the ground coffee, I thought to myself, “this is really rich stuff.” The aroma of the ground beans has a depth that is hard to describe…it is just that rich in aroma.
This is a nice, full bodied coffee with a very smooth mouth feel, suitable for all day sipping. Major Dickason's Blend® has some earthy undertones which become even more apparent as the coffee cools down a bit. The flavor is very active on the back of the tongue at the first part of a sip, then it moves to the front of the tongue. This is, by my personal standards, a medium roast that has some of the depth of a dark roast.
I decided to try this brew with some dark chocolate. Peet’s Coffee has a real winner here – the coffee really enhances the chocolate’s flavor. It is good with milk chocolate, don’t get me wrong, but this coffee is meant to go with dark chocolate.
Since I bought 12 ounces of this blend, I will definitely enjoy it for a several days – no problem! If you have guests coming over that aren’t into dark roast coffee, but you still want to give them a nice rich cup, this is the one to brew.
Thanks for reading, and may your next cup be the best!
This is a great description of one of Peets' signature coffee blends. Now ask yourself this question: What do you think will happen to coffee roasted in this way that only Peets can do if they are acquired by Starbucks? If readers of this blog love Peets and what they stand for, start sending a message loud and clear to Peets that they should not allow themselves to give into any greed by allowing Starbucks to take them over. If Starbucks succeeds, you can pretty much kiss great coffee good by in this country.
