Gevalia Antigua.


For being so frou frou, Gevalia is not very good. Considering that their traditional roast is likely to be a flagship blend and roast, the poor quality was a dead giveaway for the rest. The Antigua doesn't bring much to the table other than it's name (oh please, don't let the Kenya AA be as bad). Slightly fuller bodies than the traditional, it manages to muster up more of the generic rich roast coffee flavor, the one you think of whenever you see a Folger's commercial and they break the vacuum seal on a can of coffee (seriously, you know advertising is good when you associate a taste proportional to the wholesomeness of a sound), than the traditional roast.

Also, they pronounce their name with a soft 'g'. For them, it's a bad check.
