I bought the "mountain gems" organic dark espresso roast a few weeks ago. It smelled fantastic in the store. Also it's organic, fair trade, etc. which made me feel good about buying the product.
However, upon taking it home and trying to make it in my french press, I the taste to be very weak. I like strong tasting coffee which is why I bought the dark roast, but no matter how much I reduce the water proportions for each brew, it still tastes very weakâbasically like hot water. I still get a bit of a caffeine kick, but the taste is very disappointing. Now I have to combine it with other coffee because I feel bad about wasting it, but I wish I hadn't bought it at all.
