I discovered Tully’s coffee, a west coast chain, on a trip to Seattle in 98. It seemed pretty generic but somewhat more classy than the other local chains. Even though the name struck me funny since it’s a unintentional nod to my favorite Ghostbusters quote, I didn’t do much to seek out their roasts.
Now, with the rising costs of coffee in general, and the amount that I consume on a daily basis, I’ve sought out different coffees besides my usual Intelligentsia roasts. I found quite a bit of Tully’s roasts at a local grocer for a good price.
The house blend has a good flavor, not strong or overly nutty. It goes well with meals or just on its own. I haven’t done the “hints of whatever” tasting and don’t plan on it, but I will recommend Tully’s house blend as a good all-around coffee.
