You're probably drinking a darker roast than 30-40 years ago... I know I am.
Back then, you couldn't find anything that even would be considered as being on the dark side, at least in canned coffee off supermarket shelves.
I also think that most of the beans back then did not approach the quality available to craft roasters today.
High quality and dark roast coffees have been available at McNulty's all the years that I've purchased from them. They've been roasting their own beans since 1895. I was introduced to real espresso back in the 60s.
I should have been clearer, quality beans in the commercially-available supermarket brands. Another aging hippy, huh?

I will be interested to see what you think of it
If it can be interesting my opinion, I think that Lady Grey is without taste. Early Grey is better. I drank this when I was in England.
Yes of course I am very interested in your opinion🙂
Excuse me? Hippy's didn't drink coffee, Bohemians did that.
Some of us did. No one fits all definition. Bohemians hung out and read Kant, Freud and so on, went to coffee houses where jazz was played. The hippies drank coffee, listened to folk music and read, if they could!
