Strong But Brilliant Raccoon Coffee!

Brilliant Raccoon Coffee!

The second instalment of the 'Get in the Mood' coffee brand is the Brilliant Raccoon Coffee! Getting past the radical name this coffee has, it paints a picture of energy on the front of the bag (A raccoon snowboarding (Not very realistic)), making it look like it will 'prepare you for action' as it says so clearly on the front. Slight subliminal messaging if you ask me (I've got a tin foil hat and a bubble rap suit!)!

Moving on from my far out theories, this coffee actually packs a punch. It says that it is a medium to strong coffee, but from the smell and the first few sips this coffee comes out swinging (like a child doing the whirling arm blades attack). But let's dive into more detail!

The Bitterness of this coffee is there but not as strong as I would of expected for a coffee that's attacking me in the buds (taste buds). It is quite bitter and does leave the tongue with this dry taste afterwards, but the overwhelming fulfilling taste of this coffee would be enough for me to overlook the bitterness.

The Richness of the coffee is something I have been wanting for awhile now. It is so fulfilling and full bodied, and has multiple layers of flavour which just attack the taste buds. You can have a mouthful and taste this overwhelming strong earthy taste, then on your next one you will get a more chocolaty taste or a creamy smooth taste! This coffee has multiple layers and is so full of flavour that I would overlook the bitterness that accompanies it and just dive into the pure flavour of the coffee.

The Aroma this coffee brings to the table is fantastic! This coffee just seems like it wants to impress you on the first date, so it brings the fancy car, the fancy clothes and the fancy smelly stuff (yes coffee is ungendered hence the 'it and smelly stuff')! But moving on, the aroma you get once you open the bag is so fulfilling, it just wakes up your senses with this pure unadulterated aroma! The smell continues long into the brewing and drinking process as well, meaning it gains a few brownie points for lasting.

Well as I went to his movie and thought it was absolutely fantastic, I gave my good friend Mr Pool a call asking if he would judge this coffee... you could imagine his answer.

But he said he would send over his long distant cousin, twice removed on his mother's side and missing 1 testicle .... BEANPOOL!!!
