Peet's Blend 101 - put it on your list

I'm a member of Peet's Coffee and Tea coffee subscription plan, called Peetniks.  Well actually, there are a couple reasons that's not true.  Really, the Peetniks membership was a gift for my parents and I have hijacked it for my own greedy coffee needs.  The other thing is that I keep getting Peet's to delay my monthly shipments while I work through a coffee overstock at home.  And before I could stop the flood of coffee, the last delivery was of one of Peet's three big custom blends, their Blend 101.

I'm mixing it up between this and an Ethiopian Harrar coffee.  I love Peet's Blend 101 but I also love their Major Dickason blend.  If you're wondering how they can all be so good, there are a couple reasons.  First, Peet's knows coffee and few people know that it was the inspiration for now-rival Starbucks itself.  So when it comes to blending coffee to recipe, they don't make a bad blend.  Which leads me to the second reason.  A good roaster should have more than one blend, each one trying to include different coffee accents for different coffee tastes.
