This is a very bold but smooth blend; it has a nice, smooth mouth feel. It is smoky [but not too much] with a little herbaceous undertone to it. I cannot detect any acidity at all, which I find pleasing. Big Easy Bold reminds me of Sumatra but without the acidity or the browned caramel undertone and aftertaste. I really enjoy this blend a lot and do recommend it. To me this blend is almost perfect, not quite due to the lack of a little sweetness, this is why I did not rate this one 5 stars...personally, my favorite blend is Kona.
I usually like bold flavored coffees. While this one is not super bold, dang!! I love this one for sipping all day -my "comfort" drink! SO smooth and rich -absolutely delicious!
I can understand how someone might not like this coffee, but I really appreciate its strong flavor and the way the coffee taste, just a twinge bitter, continues to coat my mouth after I take a sip. It keeps me awake and focused and it tastes good, too!
This coffee is a complex, VERY BOLD coffee! It commands it's presence with aroma and taste. While it may be a little too much for some, for others who love an intense bold coffee; this is the one for you! Amazingly balanced flavour and acidity despite it's intense darkness in taste.
Pros: Excellent fusion of taste, Pleasing Roast, Balanced Acidity, Exceptional/Interesting Flavor, 'get up and go', Commanding, Attractive Mouthfeel/Body, Very bold
