I was leary about trying decaf coffee, but I was pleasantly surprised on how good this tasted! Just like a normal cup of coffee! I tried another "breakfast blend, light roast" and it wasn't nearly as good as this one ( too light tasting). I will be buying this again.
Pros: Pleasing Roast, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Pleasing Aroma, Not Bitter
There's no doubt that the Vermont Country Blend coffees are incredibly smooth. At least with the caffeinated version, there was some body to go with the lighter flavor and lack of complexity. Yes, this is smooth, but you no longer have the flavor that goes along with the caffiene. The roast is definitely on the lighter side of medium, really bordering on light. This blend lacks complexity and is now a bit watery tasting due to it being decaf. There are decafs I like, such as the Dark Magic. While Dark Magic lacks a bit of something that I always find missing in a decaf, at least there are some interesting notes and it has reasonable body (for a decaf). I tend to like darker, more layered flavors in my coffee, yet the Vermont Country Blend regular coffee was sooo smooth in my mouth that, in of itself, it created some interest and reason to drink it. Not so, for me, with the decaf version.
This is a great medium roast decaf. It is not as strong as a couple of other medium roasts I have tried, but it is not bitter and has no bad aftertaste. I will reorder this one!
I'd love to buy it in other formats than K-cups so more of my friends could try it. K-cups are great for single use, but quantity would be easier if it was in bulk form. K-cups aren't very environmentally-conscious. I have to remove the lid, dump the used coffee into the compost bin, rinse the filter and cup before placing it with my plastics for recycling.
I LOVE THIS! IT'S TASTES AND SMELLS LIKE THE BEST COFFEE MADE OUT THERE. I DRINK IT EVERY MORNING AND WHEN RE-ORDERING....THIS IS MY FIRST CHOICE EVERYTIME.
Pros: Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, Smooth Taste, Not Bitter, Aroma When Brewing Is Mmm, Pleasing Roast, Pleasing Aroma, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body
