Coffee Plant Roasters - Light Vienna

After a short break, we're back, and with stuff that, while still being consumed in the past, is certainly being consumed in a much more recent past.

The coffee here comes from Coffee Plant Roasters, still just as accessible by bike as it was before. However, as a bit of a changeup, this marks the first blend I've purchased from there. It's origins are listed as "Sumatra and our favorite Latin." Whether that means a blend of Latin's too, or a single favorite, that's up for debate.

Also up for debate, is their name and description. They've named it after a level of roasting, but then tell you it is only barely in that category. As a follow-up, it then gets described as a "medium to dark roast." So it's a light, medium, dark roast. Got it.


Since it's recent, and I remember something about the taste, I'll actually speak to that here. One flavor description CPR gave was earth. The first few days of drinking this, that earth tasted like dirt. That's not hyperbole. I guess I should just remember that earth = dirt, and shouldn't expect the flavor to be different. That being said, that flavor mellowed out (or became ignored) the further into the bag I drunk.
