This coffee is listed as a medium body and the beans are not over roasted or oily. They are a light brown nut color with a pleasant aroma.

The coffee was quite a surprise. The aroma was the first thing that got my attention. It was sort of flowery, but still, had a full coffee aroma. The flavor was quite amazing for a medium bodied coffee. Sweet, nutty, and sort of flowery. I do all my tastings black, but admit that after tasting I do usually put a drop of cream and sugar in my coffees. This one however, I drank the pot black.

I like this equally compared to Reunion Island’s French Roast fair trade coffee. The French Roast is good if you are looking for something darker, whereas Reunion Island’s Ethiopia Oromia fair trade organic coffee is for those medium coffee lovers.

This would be a great everyday coffee!

When I opened the package, I first noticed a nice dark aroma, but also that some of the beans seemed overroasted.

It is a full dark roast, so I put that thought aside for now.

The coffee seems less full bodied and thinner than I was expecting. It had a full roasted flavor, however it was somewhat bitter, a little burnt, and slightly acidic. All things considered, it still is a reasonable cup of coffee if you are looking for a full roasted flavor with a thinner base.

Privateer definitely finishes behind Reunion Island’s French Roast fair trade coffee when compared side by side.

This might be a good coffee to brew for friends, after dinner and just sitting down for some cards.

You know those weekend mornings when you’d like to sleep in, but the birds chirping outside your window wake you up and you just can’t get back to sleep. You go downstairs and suddenly it hits you, that quiet no one else is up yet feeling. You go to the door and grab your crisp clean newspaper (funnies section not yet touched!) and that wonderful feeling knowing your next hour is comprised of only the newspaper and a mug of fresh coffee.

This is the perfect coffee for those mornings. Its dark, rich, aromatic and creamy. There’s even a bit of a sweet citrus taste too.
