"full body, rich taste, no bitterness. beautiful."
"It's one of my favorites, this is the 3rd time I've reordered."
"Tasty, not really getting any of the
caramel though. It’s also coming through with a bit of a
fruity, almost
cherry at the end. Still a pretty creamy, smooth blend."
"Simply one of the very best coffees available on Bean Box……and they have a lot of good ones."
"This is my daughter's favorite coffee. I send it to her as a special treat."
"This is by far my favorite coffee. So much flavor with a rich creamy after taste."

"Excellent blend. I can taste all of the notes described when using the
cold brew method. Steeping around 19-20 hours is perfect, anything more will bring out too much acidity and anything less will make it watered down. I look forward to trying other brewing methods with this blend; really solid all around. "
"I absolutely loved this coffee! We might just have to subscribe to it! The essence of Carmel with a light toasted feel. Lovely!"
"Love, love all your coffee's. Even the name is good!"
"My new favorite for
espresso. Smooth and rich with basically no bitterness, definitely going on my list of regulars!"

"I'm usually not a
dark roast person, but I surprised myself when I found myself loving this blend!!"
"Fabulous coffee! Love how it is delivered to my door! Customer service is always the best! Thank you Bean Box!!"
"Wonderful tasting coffee! Being a darker roast, you’d think it would be pretty bitter, but it’s actually delicious and doesn’t have an aftertaste. "
"A nice dark flavor with a thin, rich crema. Only tasting a hint of sweetness afterwards, but the full-bodied bitter
chocolate flavor is there. Good for morning cups with a bowl of cereal."
"This is an awesome coffee! Love a little dark side! The coffee is wonderful, full flavored and the customer service is top notch at Bean Box!"
"I purchased this based off the reviews and it definitely did not disappoint! Creamy, smooth, and rich! Will keep this one high on the favorites list."
"Extremely disappointed! This is the 2nd packet where the quantity of coffee grounds was insufficient to make 2 cups."
"Blossom DSOTM is everything I’d hoped to find in this first Bean Box purchase of a
dark roast. I’m liking each cup more than the last. Full-bodied - not at all bitter - kind of astonishing. Also ordered a variety of 1.8 oz bags that I’m looking forward to trying. What a great way to sample different coffees! Thanks!"
"Last year I decided it was time (66 years old to date) to learn to drink coffee and see what all the fuss was about. It has always smelled good to me but never cared for the taste. This past Christmas my husband got me a Bean Box sampler since I had tried numerous coffees from the grocery store and I felt like there had to be something better out there. The Blossom Dark Side of the Moon was my favorite of the four and I enjoyed it with the first cup! It has a rich flavor, and just the right amount of dark for my taste. I received a 12 oz. bag of it today and look forward to every cup. Order came very fast and in their cute little boxes. I will be trying more of their semi dark coffees in the future! Highly recommend!"
"I am so impressed with this coffee!! My husband and I LOVE it!!!"
"Great tasting and smooth coffee"
"A great coffee that is well balanced and extremely smooth"
"Classic. Had this a few times, a good one for the mix. "
"Amazing flavor and the perfect
caramel toasty subtlety that wakes you up in the morning. Preferred this black and it's now my regular."
"Not what i thought it would be after reading all the reviews. Somewhat disappointed."
"Probably the smoothest coffee I have ever drank. It has an incredible natural sweetness with a noticeable
chocolate flavor. Will always be one of my go to coffees. "
"I've struggled with this one. To be fair I tried two separate orders two months apart. Through a
v60 pour over I can get a decent cup of coffee but the
chocolate hints are non-existent--it's just a decent cup of coffee. That's it. I've tried medium fine through medium coarse grinds using an OXO burr grinder and get bitter through sour but no choc flavor notes. Weird. Through a cheap drip coffee maker I get nothing. I always start with 25g beans with 12 oz water for either method. With the
v60 I think the bloom time is necessary to pull any flavor at all. Power to everyone that can make this bean work but for me it's been a fail. Oddly enough, it's the only bean that has given me such a struggle. I tried emailing for suggestions on approach but heard crickets. That said, the reputation of the company seems high so I'm trying to different beans to see if I can make them work."
"Made this in a
french press and a drip brewer. Good dark coffee. It was hard to get the brind right for the oxo brewer, but once I did the coffee had a nice sweetness that lingered."
"My aunt is 92 yrs old, I fixed her a cup off one of the many great blends (don't remember which one) I buy from bean box. Her response was 'this is the best cup of coffee I have ever had in my life'.! Coming from someone with that many years of drinking coffee pretty much says it all about bean box coffees. When they are all that good it is impossible to pick a favorite. I have never written a review of anything in my entire life before now. "
"My go-to coffee every time I order from Bean Box. You will not be sad, also works as an
espresso blend if you want to use an
espresso machine. "
"Coffee is smooth, light
chocolate taste. Med dark color. Very good and arrived very quickly. I was very pleased with this coffee. I use a Moccamaster drip machine with a coarse grind and it came out great "
"This made a great
espresso and cappuccino. It is full of rich flavor without being overpowering. "
"Add one every time I place an order as this is my go-to coffee from bean box!!"
"This is NOT a
dark roast - way too light. I did not like it at all. Am sorry I wasted my money on it."
"This coffee is so good, full-bodied, dark, and best served as a pour-over. So delicious!"
"The SMOOTHEST coffee you will ever drink. So much
chocolate flavor but not too intense. I drink my coffee black. It’s incredible
iced as well! My new Go-to, you won’t be disappointed! "
"It is my favorite so far! Love the
caramel notes."
"I enjoy dark side of the moon every morning "
"Not bad but I've had better dark, earthy coffees. Wouldn't purchase again if other options were available."
"We usually like earthy coffees (e.g., sumatra), but this one has an after taste that is a bit too earthy. Have loved most of the coffees from BeanBox, this particular one just isn't a hit in this household."
"I ordered ground and was sent beans. I can’t taste until I buy a grinder. "
"Very nice. Perfect pot in the morning."

"I love Dark Side of the Moon! Just the right roast and a great balance of coffee,
chocolate and
caramel, it's heaven with a little raw sugar and half and half or cream. I like trying different coffees, but I always come back to this one."
