  OK Original Family medium roast - best so far of a bunch of convenience/instant/just add water formats I'm testing for my upcoming trip (2 months away from my Hario/Chemex).
  
  Original Family Blend is just likemany people want coffee to be on a busy morning. Smooth, with an earthy taste that's just right. It has a kind of peanut flavor to it in the middle, which is a pleasant surprise. The quality of the coffee bag (is it still called a tea bag) is pretty good too, made of a high quality fiber. You can tell they've thought about it, ensuring the extraction is on point.
  
  This medium roast leaves you with an earthy aftertaste, kind of like a good Sumatran. Interestingly though, this blend is all South American. If we're talking about the instant or "just-add-hot-water" category, this coffee is certainly on the higher end. It could use a touch more fruitiness, maybe a hint of plum or something, but it's a pretty solid cup of joe. So, if you're in a hurry or traveling but still want decent coffee, this is worth a shot. Definitely better than most hotel/airplane coffee.
