Every Trader Joe’s has a “new products” section and on my last trip to this area, I was excited to discover this “Aged Sumatra Coffee.” I couldn’t recall ever having tried aged coffee before so this seemed like as good a time as any.
My first impression upon grinding the beans was that they weren’t super fragrant. Sure, they smelled delicious but it wasn’t as pungent as most other grinds. The flavor is another thing though. It’s flavorful: smooth, rich, and, smokey. No sweetness or acid here. Over this weekend, I made a large pot and poured some into a jar to refrigerate. As a cold coffee, was excellent to sip on a hot day.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Hawaiian Shirts – I prefer coffee that is sweeter and more complex. However, this coffee is very good and if you want to drink a rich cup that declares proudly “I AM COFFEE” to your taste buds, give this one a try.
