Yield Coffee Citizen Blend

Yield Coffee's new Signature Roast, Citizen Blend, is a fantastic darker roast which makes for a great everyday coffee, or one to break out for guests when you need a coffee that everyone will like.  Notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and berries produce a rich, bold, satisfying cup of coffee for any time of day.

They have a great write-up about it on their website, which I've linked in the header.
