Big City Coffee Organic Premium

I have no issues with the FCC’s new guidelines on disclosure for bloggers.  Coffee companies send me coffee to review here.  Some coffee I pay for but most I don’t.

If you see a savage review of an awful coffee (there hasn’t been many) it was a coffee that I paid for.  You don’t see them for coffee that was gifted to me because if I dislike it, I don’t review it.  It’s a fine line to walk, but … you don’t take a gift from someone then turn around and then bite them.  That just not cool.

I’m glad to say that I have never really hated a coffee that a roaster has given me.  So there’s never been a situation that I didn’t warn people away from awful coffee.

Sounds like I’m leading up to something bad, doesn’t it?  Actually, I’m not.  This coffee is wonderful.  If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be reviewing it.

This organic blend from Big City Coffee is a good morning or even all day coffee.  Because of that, it would make a kick-ass office coffee, or a perfect choice for a small cafe to use as their “standard” regular coffee.  It’s a strong, bold, city ++ roast with a nice and complex flavor featuring walnut and pecan notes.  The body is medium, lively, and has a good bite to it, but it’s not bitter.  It’s also fresh, as – unlike the prepackaged coffees this company also sells – this is fresh roasted three times a week in small batches, and sent out immediately.

That is definitely the way to do it.

I would place this as a high-standard everyday coffee and give it the official stamp of groovy.  Good stuff.  I like it!
