Review: Holy crap! A Caribou coffee blend I’ve never tried before?! Can it be true?
This particular roast is a light/medium roast that hails from Ecuador (which reminds me… Saskya, if you are reading this, send me your e-mail address!). The coffee has a flavor similar to Caribou’s Colombian blend with a steady coffee flavor. What makes this blend so special is the peppery bite to it. On first taste, it may seem as if the coffee is a bit too acidic, but the bite of the coffee lasts throughout without lingering in your mouth like a swallowed penny (coughsbuxcough). The exotic spice is just what I am looking for in an average cup of daily coffee. Caribou’s Changaimina delivers…but only for a few months, since this is their specialty winter blend.
I may just have to pay the stupidly expensive price for a pound of this stuff before it disappears.
