Opened the box and the smell was amazing. Taste was great too! Will make great gifts.
Was not disappointed, as a matter of fact the quality of the mug was over and above my expectations. The coffee [Midnight Vigils] was also some of the best I’ve ever had.
I like a darker roast and drink mine mostly black, while my wife likes a medium roast and has cream and sugar. This blend is nice for us both. I get the beans and do a Puerto Rican grind (my wife is Puerto Rican), which is a fine grind (almost like cinnamon texture) that brings out the strength of whichever coffee we get.
I started my monthly subscription with Mystic Monk with the flavor of the month, ground. I have switched to the coffee of the month and whole bean with an ad hoc additional bag here and there.
One of my favorite things about Mystic Monk coffee is that I am supporting a Catholic agency/business with my daily consumption of coffee. Where I spend my discretionary money is very important to us, and we can "kill two birds with one stone" (idiom) and have a mutual benefit.
The Cowboy Blend just feels western (by name) and is one of my favorites. I will continue to purchase this in addition to trying the other blends and flavors.
I appreciate your time to read my ramblings.
