Things have been slow on the coffee front. I have just been drinking some very decent dark roasts. Nothing fancy just smooth and tasty. At some point during the last couple of weeks, due to availability and some serendipity, I decided to give Oso Negro another try.
- Prince of Darkness
- Deeply Organic
- Simply Sustainable
I bought a lb. of their Simply Organic and it was so satisfying and so smooth that I bought the other two. All the Oso Negro coffees are roasted to an oily finish – very oily – like so oily you can’t believe how oily they are. The dark roasts in my opinion are somewhat indistinguishable, but are very smooth and satisfying. If you like a nice dark roast taste without any bitterness these coffees are awesome. The Simply Sustainable is a medium roast that has more of a (duh) medium bodied flavor to it. The coffees are blended so there really isn’t any particular flavor that stands out (at least not to me). What impresses the most is the smoothness. Highly recommended. The coffees are date stamped.

Hey,
I’m new to the blogging world, and when I searched for “coffee” you came up. Its interesting to follow your taste buds through time.
My friend (a 7 year barista) and I are going on a 6 week sustainable coffee road trip. We will be keeping a blog (started an hour ago) and I thought you might be interested – http://coffeeinaction.wordpress.com/
Thanks!
