Then try the Starbucks blonde roast. Peet's is worth the in person trip (just take the red line) because they have this handy wheel at the cash register that lets you choose taste characteristics (roast, acidity, body, origin) and recommends a few varieties. And they'll make you a taste in store.
If you really don't want to go there, and want to order Peet's, get Arabian Mocha Sanani and don't look back. If that's too spendy, get Mocha Java.
Thanks for all the ideas - Intelligentsia is also a good option.
I think a taste test is in order.
Agreed!
