[spoiler title=’Click to read the transcript. ‘ style=’default’ collapse_link=’true’]- Hey! Welcome to Coffee Coffee Coffee. Your place for average Joe coffee reviews. Today’s coffee is of single origin, unlike myself. – – So what is today’s wonderful, or not wonderful, coffee? – Right, it is Starbucks’ Sumatra single origin dark roast coffee. It’s 100% Arabica beans, ground, obviously, and it’s supposed to be earthy and herbal. So, again this is one of those conservation, international blends, ethical sourced coffee. Ethically sourced coffee. There we go. Yeah, so it’s dark roast, full bodied, yeah. – There’s a tiger on the- – There is. I do like their packaging. It’s nice. – Yes. – But you pay a price for the packaging. – That’s right. – It is got, like, a whole, you know where Sumatra is? – It is in Indonesia. – It is. The western island of Indonesia. A western island of Indonesia. – Mm hmm. – So, yeah, so, the question is is it good coffee? Because it’s, you know, Sumatra, sorry, Starbucks is really a more expensive brand. – Mm hmm. – Generally, like, nine dollars per bag. – Right. – Sometimes it’s less, depending if you get it on sale, but it’s a more premium coffee. – Yes. – Yeah. – So we’ll find out. – And we did have Sumatra blend, right, with New York Gourmet Coffee. – Yes. That review is also one we’ve done, and that coffee was fantastic. – It was so good, oh my gosh. So good. – So- – So we have high hopes for this one. – Talkin’ ’bout high cotton. That’s a different song. What is high cotton? – It’s when the cotton’s ready to be harvested. – It’s not cotton from the low country? – No. – I don’t know. – What does that even mean? – Low country, low country boil. – Yeah, that’s, like, Louisiana and stuff, right? South Carolina? – Louisiana. – Yeah, no, South Carolina, like, low country boil. I guess it’s all- – That’s Louisiana. – Oh. Oh well, it doesn’t really matter. – Smells like coffee. Oh that- – Yeah, okay, so on the bag it does say that you should have, it should have a smooth mouth feel, it’s full bodied, there are lingering flavors of dried herbs and fresh earth, and almost no acidity. – Lingering flavors of dried herbs and fresh earth. – And- – What is fresh earth? – I’ve never tasted fresh earth. It’s not, I think that’s a medical condition. Pica, or something like that, but, what, I think that’s right. – I don’t even know how to spell it. – It’s, like, a thing you have to watch out for when you’re pregnant. Some women, so I read about it a long time ago when I was pregnant with probably the first kid. Anyway, so- – When she read about all the terrible things that can happen. – Yeah, I did. Yeah. But the question is do you like it? I’m gonna go first, though. I don’t like it. – The coffee, it’s staining my mug. It’s super- – It’s thick, right? – Yeah, like, what coffee stains your mug? This does. – Yeah, it’s, I don’t like the dried herb taste. That’s the thing. It’s like that herbal, I guess, herbal taste is just not my favorite. It’s kinda like, mmm no. It’s not coffee- tasting to me. It’s herb-y. – It’s interesting that the New York Gourmet Coffee’s Sumatra- – Uh huh, totally different than this. – Yeah, which, I mean all it is is that’s where they got the beans from. They roasted it in a different way. – Right, yeah. – And so theirs had a chocolate-y thing, I believe. And it was really good. And this- – Is not. – Is not. – Yeah, yeah. We were kind of excited when we found this in the store. It’s when we still had the New York Sumatra. It was like, “Ooh! That should be like the same thing.” And it’s not the same thing, so, it’s different. – Yeah, so, you know we’ve done some other Starbucks reviews, and they can be hit or miss. – Yeah, hit or miss, I would say so far. – It just depends on your palette. – This one, yeah, would we buy it again? I’d pass on it. How many donuts out of five? – Two. – Two. That’s be two and a half. I feel like, it’s like, I mean if somebody served us this, you know, I wouldn’t be like, “Oh! Get it out of my face.” I wouldn’t do that even if it was horrible coffee, but- – Yeah, so I guess two and a half- – Yeah. – Is what we’ll go with. – Yeah. Yeah, two and a half. – All right. – I’m feeling generous. – Yeah. Want anything else to add on it? – I don’t think so. – All right, well thanks for joining us again on another episode review of coffee on Coffee Coffee Coffee.
