The taste:
Earthy and robust, mildly bitter like traditional coffee, but smoother.
Subtle undertones of chocolate

Directions:
A french press is my favorite way to brew, peak flavor & benefits will be found between 10-20 minutes of steeping. Can also be brewed in drip coffee maker or decocted (simmered) on the stovetop for 2-4 min, then strained.
1 TBS per 8oz of water is suggested, adjust to your preferences
Enjoy black or try with a splash of maple syrup & cream!
