What’s in my cup: Groundwork’s “Bitches Brew”
Dark roast. “A smoky and creamy blend with notes of dark chocolate and caramel.”
For the first time ever, it’s “What’s in My Cup!” A look at one of the coffees Kara and I are trying while we galavant around the country for the whole #vanlife. This, by the way, is something Kara and I have started doing as a hobby under the heading Kara & Kevin’s Koffee Knotes. I have no idea where it’ll go from here, but let’s have some fun.
The latest brew is from Groundwork, called Bitches Brew, and is a dark roast labeled as their “Signature Blend.”
From the label: A smoky and creamy blend with notes of dark chocolate and caramel.
And from the back of the package:

Kevin’s Knotes:
Slightly acidic, and I do pick up light notes of chocolate. Flavor lingers forward on my tongue. The sip is strong and full-bodied, but the aftertaste fades until only the notes and the slight acid linger. I give it 3 out of 5 Ks.
Kara’s Knotes:
My first sip was strong and had a bite to it. There is a slight aftertaste that has the flavor I call “like an ashtray”. Only slightly, but it is there. I also give it a 3 out of 5 Ks.
