Oh, yeah, I do love my coffee! I'm also downright picky about it, not in a "snobby elitist" kind of way, but in a "don't give me stale coffee" kind of way. I tend to Google "coffee" occasionally to see if something new pops up. I found a site by Boca Java that has a new line of what they call Blogger's Blends. They were offering free coffee to the first 500 bloggers who were willing to review it on their blogs. Free coffee?! I'm in!
The large box arrived in the mail last week with 6 half-pound bags of different varieties, along with a hat & a mug. Harold & I are working our way through them, he wearing the hat & I sipping from the mug. Evan was disappointed there was nothing in it for him, except more energetic parents.
The first coffee we tried was "Blogger's Pajama Passion". It is a medium roast with hints of vanilla, Kahlua & caramel flavors. This coffee was so yummy I could envision myself being satisfied with it after dinner & saving the calories I would have otherwise spent on dessert. We will definitely order this one!
The second one sipped was "Blogs of Bravery", a mix of dark & medium roast beans from South America. This coffee has a full body but no bitter aftertaste. We've been starting our mornings with it and I hate to say we've almost finished the bag!
"Blogger's Boot Up Blend" was our after dinner coffee last night. I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. It is a medium blend of African, South & Central American beans. Maybe it was too many regions in one bag for my taste. I found it a little acidic.
I'm looking forward to sampling the other 3 blends & will let you know what I think. One thing I really liked about this company was their "Operation Million Cups" which lets you send coffee to our troops. For every bag of coffee you donate, Boca Java will match the donation by sending an equivalent bag of coffee. They are providing the coffee for donation at a discounted price of $4 per 8 oz. bag. For just $4 you can send 60 cups of delicious coffee! They have sent over 766,000 cups so far. A worthy endeavor indeed!
Good for you!
