Bones Coffee's Caramel Apple

We now continue our journey through all the wonderful flavors Bones Coffee Company brings to us as we feed our caffeine addiction.

BONES COFFEE COMPANY: CARAMEL APPLE

Today's selection is another delicately flavored medium-roast that will provide lovers of smooth coffee with a pleasant experience whether they drink it with or without milk or creamer added, and whether its hot, cold, iced, or any state in-between. 

When it's brewing, this blend doesn't give off any particular aroma other than that of coffee. From the very first sip, though, the advertised flavors are front and center and in perfect balance. Some of the Bones blends the flavors are over-powering, wiping out the coffee flavor or coming on so strong that you'll reach for the milk not because the coffee is bitter but because you need to dial back the added flavor. Others, the flavoring is almost imperceptible at first, but builds in your mouth like a coating the more you drink. But with the Caramel Apple blend, you instantly get a full-bodied coffee taste, with its edge not so much blunted as augmented and transformed by the crisp taste of green apples and sweetened by a clear caramel flavor.

The above remains true no matter how you drink the Caramel Apple blend. Even adding unsweetened almond milk or sugar-free Italian Sweet Cream didn't weaken the flavor but instead seemed to accent and make it more pleasing. Whether you drink this blend hot, room temperature, or cold and iced, the coffee flavor mixed with green apples and caramel is steady and constant; it's bit more pronounced when the coffee is hot, but the flavors are always present and consistent where with some Bones blends they may shift dramatically. 

Frankly, I had no idea what to expect from the Caramel Apple blend; I couldn't quite picture what coffee and caramel-coated apple would taste like. I have been pleasantly surprised in every way. I think this is one of the better offerings from Bones Coffee Company, and I recommend it highly.
