This is my sixth order of this coffee. I panicked when I discovered the packaging had changed. It is the same wonderful coffee thank goodness! I order 3-6 bags at a time. I am the only one who drinks coffee in my house and feel I am definitely worth it. It is an excellent coffee choice for people who love full bodied coffee.
Verona bold beans were my favorite beans for 2 years. I think you have changed the flavor. It doesn't have the coffee bite that it had previously. Maybe, in the last 6 mos? something has changed.
This is a good, strong, smooth cup. If you like COFFEE as opposed to a light blend, this is the brew. No bitter notes. Cannot recommend it enough and hope Starbucks will keep roasting / blending this variety.
It's been my coffee of choice for years. It does seem to change a bit ocasionally, (from batch to batch?). It is very satisfying as a rule. Re: Personality - I know it's not single origin but this is closest.
A very smooth yet tastefull coffee. I would definately buy again. Full bodied, however, this coffee is the full bean and I wish it came in ground also.
