The documented profile
Attributed descriptors, not measured flavor intensities. See the sources below.
Flavor families classify the listed descriptors; they are not intensity or quality scores. Character bands below explain what is documented and what is still unknown.
Reading the cup
Coffee character.
The outlined band shows the reported or estimated level. These describe the cup; higher is not better.
Roast level
Reported- Light
- Medium-light
- Medium
- Medium-dark
- Dark
Placed at the roast band given by the source. This is a label, not an instrument-measured roast color. Source ↗
What does roast level mean?
The roast degree of the bean; separate from sweetness, body and quality.
Acidity
Estimated · low confidence- Gentle
- Moderate
- Bright
A darker roast without fruit-led descriptors suggests gentler brightness as a working hypothesis. This needs tasting confirmation. Reference for estimate ↗
What does acidity mean?
The perceived brightness or tartness of the cup, not a quality score.
Sweetness
Estimated · low confidence- Subtle
- Noticeable
- Pronounced
Without explicit sweet-associated descriptors, we provisionally expect subtler sweetness. Absence from the notes is weak evidence, so this estimate needs tasting. Reference for estimate ↗
What does sweetness mean?
How strong the sweet impression feels. Sweet-sounding notes can inform a guess, but do not measure its intensity.
Body / mouthfeel
Estimated · low confidence- Light
- Rounded
- Full
We provisionally expect a fuller texture from the darker roast profile. Roast does not determine mouthfeel; brewing and the actual sample may change this. Reference for estimate ↗
What does body / mouthfeel mean?
The perceived weight and texture of the coffee, separate from roast darkness.
Finish
Estimated · low confidence- Brief
- Sustained
- Lingering
A sustained finish is our low-confidence baseline in the absence of a duration description. The notes and processing do not establish how long the flavor lasts; tasting may move this band in either direction. Reference for estimate ↗
What does finish mean?
How long the flavors remain after a sip, rather than how good they are.
Coarse descriptive bands, not laboratory measurements or cupping category scores. Brewing changes the cup. Missing descriptions receive low-confidence editorial guesses, which can change after tasting.
Our take
Major Dickason’s is a useful dark-roast anchor for the library. Peet’s highlights earth and spice, a different direction from the fruit-and-floral profiles that dominate many specialty selections. Those descriptors can guide a shortlist without being translated into invented intensity measurements.
What distinguishes it
The source describes a signature blend from the Americas and Indo-Pacific, using washed and wet-hulled coffees. A regional blend description does not identify a single country, producer or cultivar. Its appeal as a reference is the documented dark roast and recognizable offering, rather than farm-level specificity.
Compare Hanoi for a dark-roasted robusta with fig and graham-cracker references. To explore chocolate-led notes at a gentler roast band, consider medium-roasted Palto. These are changes in flavor direction, not measured substitutes.
What we can compare
Peet’s publishes its own roast and sensory scales, which should retain that source context. We do not convert them into SCA components, and no native cupping total is recorded here.
Before buying
Check the bean versus ground format and roast date. Blend composition can change; a familiar name does not identify an immutable harvest. We have not tasted this coffee. The editorial-interest estimate rewards documented detail and can underrate a blend with deliberately limited provenance.

Earth, Spice support a mixed editorial placement. This is a comparison aid, not a measured flavor intensity. Roast uses the roaster’s relative label “Roast: Dark”, normalized to the broad Dark band.
