Coffee for when one's depressed, I guess.
Arya Estate first flush Darjeeling.
(ordered from Upton yesterday afternoon,
delivered to my desk this morning.
)[Edit] And French pressed E. Yirgacheffe (to go with my chocolate-covered shortbread -- store-bought, alas, but tasty all the same.
)[Edit2] A couple of Upton green tea samples, neither of which floated my boat -- Thailand Bold Leaf and Formosa Pi Lo Chun. <sigh>
Grinded up some Has Bean "Christmas Espresso Blend 2008"
Had a cup, it's weird, first few sips it tasted a tad funky, but then when i got in the middle of it and it had cooled down it wasn't too bad, I liked it.
Plus I was Damned impressed with delivery, ordered the 1st, came today

Ooh I need to try steve's xmas stuff this year. Depending on what this months free bag is I may order some.
Enjoying a nice cup of Brazilian Jacuzzi Droppings, roasted 11/30/08, courtesy of my mystery benefactor. 
Included with the beans was a dvd. I assumed it was detailed brewing instuctions, but it appears to be an inebriated man wearing a boa at Carnival, accompanied by several young ladies in various stages of undress.

Yep. And a dandy of a box it was.
If no one told me this was the infamous "bird" coffee, I wouldn't have been able to guess. Really good stuff.

If you are going to have a benefactor, thats the one to have.
Awesome! Thirdeye has some stuff winging its way to him (that's a bird poop reference) as well, so we'll get another opinion.
Thanks again, Scott. If this isn't your finest effort to date, it's certainly the coolest.
El Salvador La Ilusion C of E in a french press. Just wow

RR Sidamo in the TVorm -Yum
Boring ol' French pressed E. Yirgacheffe.
Followed by yet another green tea sample, Tian Mu Qing Ding.
Adequate.
(That said, the bar for adequate tends to climb a bit with each passing day.)
A hint of vegetal, a nice non-cloying sweetness. Nice enough, but I don't want subtle at work.

My second go at the Brazilian Jacu. Yesterday was a pour over filter holder, and today was Aeropress time. Much, much better! Ultra smooth and sweet, this is one of the most enjoyable coffees I've had in a very long time.
Tomorrow? French press time.

I got very strong maple syrup notes in that coffee. I may have to pick up some more despite the price, even though I am on a self-imposed green coffee buying hiatus.
