Equal Exchange Coffee Review

Recently I was asked to review Equal Exchange coffee.  While I am not a huge coffee fan, I absolutely NEED it to help me get along in the morning!  I was immediately interested in this coffee after reseach lead me to the following:

"Created by a genius in Philadelphia, this secret recipe delivers a sweet, sultry and smooth coffee with an unexpected bite and lasting finish. A smorgasbord of roasts in a combination of Latin American beans so fine it will make your heart pound. Feel the love!"

• Aroma: toffee, molasses, pipe tobacco, cocoa, cinnamon, brown sugar
• Flavor: complex, chocolate, brownies, chocolate covered strawberries, vanilla, winey
• Mouthfeel: velvety, fudgy, ganache
• Acidity: pronounced
• Aftertaste: chocolate, bitter

Have I told you yet that it is Organic?  Love that.  I tried Love Buzz and French Roast.  This is STRONG coffee.  I am accustomed to a milder breakfast blend type of coffee such as Dunkin Donuts coffee.  My husband loves strong coffee. REAL coffee.  This coffee is what real coffee drinkers would consider really good coffee.
