Peet's Coffee - Major Dickason's Blend

I've been hearing about Peet's Coffee (http://www.peets.com) from a number of folks recently, giving it rave reviews. Most notably, however, the "raves" have also made comment that Peet's is hard to find. Well, in the vane of "finding the perfect cup", find it I did. Unfortunately I did not find the "Complete Collection" of Peet's, and only Ground coffee (I'd prefered whole bean for freshness). I did find what Peet's calls "Our most famous blend." That would be Major Dickason's Blend.

Major Dickason's Blend is cited by Peet's as "This is the coffee that many of our customers identify with Peet's. Over the years it has gained a reputation among coffee lovers for its satisfying, rich and mellow (some say comforting) flavor qualities. The blend's components contribute their regional characteristics but are balanced to make a well-rounded cup that is complex yet smooth." So I figured this would be a great introduction to Peet's.

Overall, a very good cup of coffee. I would agree with most of the adjectives, smooth, rich and complex. I don't think it is particularly "Very Full-bodied". Which is good as I think that would detract from the smoothness. I equate this coffee to Seattle's Best Henry's Blend, which is one of my favorites. I'd buy it again, although, Henry's is about a $1.00 cheaper a pound.
