What's in YOUR Mug? ~ March 2009

[JBHoren]

Happy Purim, St. Patrick's Day, Vernal Equinox, and whatever else you're celebrating... nothing starts-it-off quite like a good "cuppa"!

By the way: March is "National Nutrition Month"...

Does "Tree DP" mean what I think it does?

I've had a Brazil processed that way a few years ago. It was nice. Surprisingly nice. Brazils aren't usually as interesting.

Thank goodness, you had us worried for a bit....

I had a nice taste of Bali Blue Moon myself on this rather cool morning...

Some dynamite Mexico Chiapas in the Technivorm. This is the best Chiapas I have tried in two years.

El Salvador CoE #11 Santa Maria, in Technivorm. Great cup, full of blackberry tastes and incredibly refreshing.

El Salvador Matalapa explosion:
1 aeropress.
2 double espressi

Lots of not-so-good espresso(in various forms.. Americanos, lattes, cappuccinos, etc.):
a consulting contract client has a bad batch of espresso from the roaster. Brutal.

Various smoothies:
Taste-testing for said client.

Various chais:
taste-testing for said client.

I think that's about it for today. More tomorrow.

This morning, I tried a sample of Starbucks VIA Italian Roast ... its their new instant, single-serve packets.

VERY, VERY GOOD. It tasted much better than any instant I've ever tried, and it was better than a lot of brewed coffees, too.

I can't wait until this product is available in the stores. My Barista said it will be available nationwide in the fall. Its only in selected major markets until then. You can buy it off the website in the meantime, but the cost of shipping makes it too expensive.
