Black Silk is the exact point where robust and smooth meet. This is an excellent coffee where if your taste buds aren't incinerated by hot sauce, habenaros and cigarettes you will revel in the delicate clarity of its stout charecter.  If you like bitter coffee with an acidic bite and loitering caustic aftertaste you won't like this coffee.  I liken it to a fine wine that has a delightful opening then moves to a significant body and then developes into a refined, clear finish. This is the journey every sip will bring to you.

I fall asleep at night with a smile knowing this great joy awaits.
