Makes a solid cup of decaf with an appealing aroma, and simple, clean mouthfeel. It lacks any distinctive flavor characteristic outside of being lightly chocolate and citrus, but it drinks very easy. I do think Alterra's description here of fresh and smooth is accurate.
Decent institutional decaf is not easy to find, so I am probably grading this slightly higher than I would at home.Cupping Method:I had this out of a Flavia machine at a medical office in Acton, MA. It extracts pretty well though I can't imagine this format is very sustainable.

Smooth, straightforward donut shop blend style coffee with a good balance of acidity, a bit of (I think) natural sweetness. Doesn't have a distinguishing characteristic and there's a bit of woodiness.
The pouch format annoys me, but apparently they are recyclable?Cupping Method:At a doctor's office in Acton, MA on a Flavia Creation machine
