“17-18 years ago, I was a decaf coffee guy. Liked coffee, didn’t like the way most coffee made me feel. Our roster was determined to get me to fall in love with a “full-strength” coffee, so he brought in a ton of different coffee beans and roasts and blends and I tried them all untill I found my favorite. The most important thing was very low acidity -- I didn’t want anything that would bother my stomach. That and no bitterness. It had to be smooth. Like butter. And this High-end, Bistro-style blend rung all the bells. It tastes as good as most coffee smells. No matter how many cups you drink in a day, this blend will keep you humming along and feeling fine. No bitterness — cause you can’t gong the grouchy with a bitter brew!” - Ralph Smothers
