A really nice aroma out of the bag. Smooth with a little bit of spice. Other than that easy to drink and pretty neutral as chain hotel coffee is trending today. But a bit better than the norm.Cupping Method:At Townplace Suites in Albany, NY. Accidentally made myself a decaf as I was sleepy!

I can't say that I understand why Royal Cup actually exist as a brand or gets selected to be in decent hotels like the Marriott. This is a solidly mediocre cup of dark roast. Drinkable but lacking depth in any of the notes you want in a dark roast. There's a little bit of water down chocolate and then some citrus. it needs a bit more natural sweetness, and it has a slightly chemical aftertaste. I'd say it is balanced and smooth alongside all of that. Bold? I don't know.Cupping Method:K-Cup at Marriott in Portland,Maine

I didnt really like this coffee starting from the aroma. It smelled a bit stale/chemical. I dont think the coffee really taste like that, just has bitter/tannic mid-palate thats not balanced off by flavor/acidity. Mightve been a funky batch as the decaf of this i had yesterday was much better.Cupping Method:Marriott coffee maker (Fairfield Inn, Syracuse NY) with Pure Life spring water
