Cupping Method:steeped bag in hot water
I had the pleasure of trying this coffee on a flight to Iceland a few months ago (I forgot to put in the review but took notes) and was impressed. The aroma when you open the bag is awesome. With its smooth texture and low acidity, Early Bird Blend is satisfying and convenient. The subtle citrusy notes give it some balance. The steeping bag is of high quality, which is a testament to the attention to detail put into this product. Additionally, the fact that it's organic is a huge plus for me.
I want to love these single serve bags because they are so convenient, but so far, they have not been my favorites. This one was weak even when brewed according to instructions and felt too flat. I might try this as cold brew next time and see if that works better.
I prepared this single serve using the hot brewing instructions on the package, but the flavor was more weak than I was anticipating. Otherwise, it was balanced and smooth, convenient, and had a wonderful aroma out of the package.
