Ring of Fire
The "Ring of Fire" blend is from Dean's Beans in Massachusetts. I received these roasted beans as a Christmas present. They are long gone now of course!
I ground the beans fine - finer than the range marked "drip" on my grinder - and brewed them in my old Braun automatic drip machine. I used about 16 grams for a 12 ounce cup. It was very delicious. Sweet and smoky were the words that came to mind.
The Dean's website simply calls this a dark roast. If you're into the fine naming gradations, I think I'd say"Vienna" or "Light French Roast." It's not as heavily roasted as Starbucks French Roast, with the roast flavor dominating (which I love, but not everyone does).
Dean's also put the roast date on the bag - December 4 in this case - not just a "best by" date. So you really know what you're getting. This was perfectly fresh when opened.

I've had this. Delicious! And Dean's Beans are very reasonably priced. I'm anxious to try their custom roast option. They'll mix several styles of beans and roast them just for you.
ReplyDeleteThat is incredibly cool!
