    Makes A Perfect Cup of Coffee!

    For many years, I was buying dark roast organic ground coffee, but I noticed that I wasn't drinking a full cup because it started to upset my stomach. Then one day I decided to try Whole Foods early bird blend "medium roast" with notes of cocoa and roasted nuts, and I am so glad I did.

    Light natural sweetness

    This coffee tastes smooth with a light natural sweetness. I notice a soft cocoa flavor and a nutty taste. It is easy to drink and not bitter. I like it for everyday coffee, especially in the morning. I drink it black and enjoy it a lot.
