The third coffee in our series. This one is from Thailand. The beans are about the same size as my "control" bean from Eight O'Clock. They are still lighter than I would have expected for a coffee labelled as medium roast. Bean size is the the same as the control whereas the beans from China and Ethiopia were much smaller. Guessing that is because Thailand has lots more rain than either.
It brewed to a medium color which I expected based on the color of the beans. The flavor is surprisingly much richer than the prior coffee. It also has a bitter note after the first sip which is more balanced as you drink more. Using a furniture analogy, it is that armchair that you first don't like because it is too stiff and unsettling, but then appreciate after awhile since it gives you a lot of support.
