Peet's Holiday Blend.  The wife and I were trying some this morning and it had a strange, somewhat offensive taste.  Then she read the info;

This years blend provides a double layer of rich, Indonesian body with black currant juiciness from top-grade Kenya... 

Some things are easily explained.  Bought two, one's headed for the garden and the other back to the store. 

I've had Kenya coffee before.  Also Kona coffee, and coffee from Brazil, Indonesia, and Ethiopia, and a number of other places.

They all tasted like Columbian coffee to me.  I think I paid too much.

Had it been MIXED with some middle-American Kansas grown beans, it might very well have had been more 'palatable' to the simple taste of those who don't know coffee anymore than they know the origin of the 'blend'.  Oh that's right it was MIXED.   (Guess the mix just wasn't 'light' enough)

Hell, I like Maxwell House (though it was to be 'percolated').
