When Do Reindeer Dance? When They're Drinking Klatch Coffee, Of Course!

I can't remember where I first learned about Klatch Coffee.  I think maybe on twitter.  I mean isn't that where we get our news these days?

Anyway, I'm trying as many holiday roasts as I can fit in this year.  Not the "usual suspects," but micro- roasted lots.

I'm fairly certain I've had this Reindeer Blend from Klatch before, but I don't remember what it was like.  So, I ordered a bag to see if it was as good as the other Klatch Coffees I've had.

The first thing I noticed was that the beans were lighter than I expected.  It's been my experience that "holiday" roasts, are usually darker.  However, I could smell the freshness the minute I opened the bag.  

I grind it up and brew it in my automatic drip because I'm too lazy to do a pour-over this morning.  And while I'm drinking my coffee and checking my emails, I realize that half the cup is gone.  And then I think, 'Oh, wait.  I'm supposed to be writing about this, so what is it I taste?'

I taste delicious hearty coffee with subtle smoothness.  The bag says "chocolate undertones," but I don't detect chocolate.  I do detect a medium body blend with a bold body flavor.  

I can certainly see those reindeer dancing when they drink this one.  I'm not dancing but my fingers are definitely awake.
