First Look: Intelligentsia House Blend Coffee

Things are starting to heat up over here at Coffee Obsessed. Up on the brew list for this week is the Intelligentsia House Blend. As you can see by the stats below, this house blend promises to be a smooth, medium bodied coffee that offers hints of fruit, milk chocolate and caramel with a finishing of baked apples. Interesting combo out of Intelligentsia and we are looking forward to the consumption process.

    Intelligentsia is one of my favorite coffee shops in Chicago. Every time I go back home to visit my parents, I try to go stop by.

      I bet that is a pretty cool place to stop into to.

    Tried the House blend. Acidic. Have had better. Maybe it was the way it was brewed at Mercantile Coffee shop?
