Having run out of my favorite brand, Dead Man's Reach, I had to suffice myself with some Tony's Shade Grown Coffee, a politically correct brand that advertises its sustainability, fair trade and organic certification.
The first blend I tried was their Songbird Blend, which was a combination of a light-to-medium roast and a very dark roast. It was not my favorite blend; it was bitter and lingered unpleasantly after I'd drunk some of it. Not the best roast in the world.
The second roast I tried was the French Royale roast. Much nicer. Good and smooth, and this one actually has the "chocolatey overtones" that the flyer claimed was to be found in the Songbird blend. Very yummy, especially with four minutes of french press steeping.
