THANKSGIVING COFFEE'S BEAUJOLAIS BLEND

-




What a wonderful way to start my Sunday morning. I'm enjoying a cup of Thanksgiving Coffee's Organic Beaujolais blend. It's so good. It's not too dark and it's not too light. It's perfect. And it's even better with a buttery flaky croissant.


Thanksgiving Coffee was fair before "fair trade" was hip which is one more reason to support this great company.

C'est si bon!


From Thanksgiving Coffee:

We’ve been fine-tuning our Organic Beaujolais blend for over 20 years. Evolving year by year with the arrival of new coffees and the addition of new origins, this blend is continually our richest, sweetest, and most complex dark roast.

The name Beaujolais pays homage to one of France’s oldest wine-making regions, an area that has defined quality in the culinary world for centuries. While our blend can’t claim such an established history, the aesthetic that inspires it traces through the history of specialty coffee in the Americas, and back to the finest coffeehouses of the old world hundreds of years ago.

Organic Beaujolais is a blend of our favorite caramelly-brown Vienna roast combined in equal parts with our strongest espresso, richest Nicaraguan single origin, and our wildest natural-processed Ethiopian. The richly-toned sweetness of the blend recalls dark chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts, and hints of jammy fruit.


ADDENDUM:

Bonjour! Beaujolais Blend is better on Monday morning than on Sunday morning. The sun is out. I think this is going to be a great coffee day!

It's Not Your Mother's Eight O'Clock Coffee - Columbia Single Serve Cup

You may not have noticed, but Eight O'Clock Coffee (which I used to refer to as Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee) has experienced a new attitude. There's new packaging and now there is even an Eight O'Clock K-Cup(R). I enjoy and delight in experiencing artisan roasted coffee and I can ride the "third wave" as good as the next person, but sometimes I just want to remember the way things used to be. So, the Eight O'Clock K-Cup  is the perfect way to enjoy a coffee that's always had a special place in my heart - but with a new twist. All these new single-serve coffees are making me lazy. But, don't worry, I'm an equal opportunity coffee-lover. Here's to the weekend!

All Time Favorite Coffee Jingles

I have consumed a lot of coffee over the last couple of decades, but it's mainly through "trial and error," "word of mouth," or "pure luck," that I found those I've enjoyed the most. And, of course, the folks who reach out and let me know about the great coffees that are out there. But with micro roasters becoming more and more popular, and grocery store coffee being talked about less, even though many supermarket varieties are very good, I can't help but remember some of those jingles and television commercials that remain etched in my mind. Some of my favorite coffee jingles: "Good to the Last Drop" (TM) (Maxwell House) "Richness Worth A Second Cup" (TM) (Yuban) "The Best Part of Waking Up, Is Folgers In Your Cup" (TM) And, last but not least, drumroll. . . .my all-time favorite: "Fill It To the Rim With Brim" (TM) (Brim Decaffeinated Coffee) (special thanks to my sister for remin
