As a confirmed drinker of full-bodied coffee (Monsooned Malabar, Sumatra Java etc.) I thought that Old Brown Java would be of an ilk but I was sadly mistaken. My palate found it verging on tasteless! I experimented with stronger brews (up to 18g/cup) but to no avail. I accept that my own coffee taste is purely personal but I will place my own experience out there for what it's worth!
