Would go with a 4.5 if allowed. This is the coffee my wife and I prefer, since our previous coffee roaster went out of business. The "flavor profile" is listed as earth, spice, and everything. It does not taste like dirt or rocks, so not earth. Which spice? Not basil, thyme, chili, garlic, etc. I have yet to detect a spice. Not sure what "everything" mean. If it mean coffee flavor, yes it tastes like coffee. It tastes like it smells - coffee. (We have an automatic expresso machine the grinds whole bean.)
Delicious and richly balanced. We like other coffees from Peets too, especially their offerings from the South Pacific and Ethiopia and other parts of Africa. But this is a go-to favorite that we've ordered regularly for years when we need to update our monthly coffee shipment. Major Dickason's Decaf is excellent too.
