Review: Jim's Organic Wonderbrew Coffee
A PR firm for Jim's Organic Coffee sent a pound of the company's Wonderbrew blend beans. The package calls it a lower acid coffee - a tough label in general, because there are probably no standards for this, but our tasting panel - various people hanging out for breakfast last weekend - found that it did have less bight and brightness, which is typical with lower acid coffees. Unlike others I've had, though, it didn't taste thin. If regular coffee acidity puts you off to tea, try this blend. A pound of beans bought directly from the company is $9.70, plus whatever they will charge for shipping - I'd have checked, but I would first have had to register on the company's web site, which, frankly, I found off-putting. Also, I thought it odd that the coffee packaging mentioned low acid, but that the description on the web site didn't. Sounds like it's time for a little editing.
