Your time will not be wasted and taking such a good coffee break for the soul is such a good thing.
I sampled their Guatemala Huehuetenango, it was quite refreshing, a lively cup of coffee, full of coco, nuts, and a nice hint of citrus, that left your mouth wanting more. The cup life was good for a half hour so I recommend it for a short drive, on the commuter train or like most people in the Northwest, it will do well on the ferry ride over to Bainbridge or Kingston. Milk brought out the coco taste to the front and gave a very smooth and some what a velvet texture. The body was well rounded not heavy, but light and full of life. Over all a outstanding cup of coffee!
Bottom line; Go find Victrola Coffee Roasters and treat yourself to some well crafted and well roasted coffee.
