I stumbled upon this delightful coffee on my way to the  train the other evening.   Walked by one of the Peet's that I don't normally  frequent, and couldn't resist going inside to see what  was new. Found this Columbia Nabusimake coffee.   The description which included "chocolatey" is what  caught my eye.  That, and the fact that it's Fair Trade and  Organic Certified. Smooth and satisfying.  Get it while you can. From Peet's: Colombia Nabusimake is available for a limited time.  In the north of Colombia, on the steep slopes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, is a small  village named Nabusimake (Nah-boo si-Mah-keh). This name translates to “Birthplace of the  Sun” and is the spiritual center of the Arhuaco people. These indigenous people seek a  harmony and unity with nature, balancing their needs with those of the surrounding land.  Theirs is a self-sufficient culture, growing their own food

By:  Samantha Joyce  This headline sounds more dramatic than it needs to be. Unlike Pie vs. Cake where pie is the clear winner, there is a time and a place for coffee and tea. Confusion arises from persistent global beverage stereotypes like: Americans only drink drip coffee, the UK drinks tea, Italians drink espresso and of course in France there is the ever-present French press. In the spirit of cooperation, I offer this community building advice on how to incorporate coffee AND tea into your daily routine. The Coffee Drinker This highly caffeinated persona operates under the sway of some false information. They believe tea doesn’t have enough caffeine (according to the Mayo Clinic a cup of black tea has 14-61mg while a shot of espresso has 40-75mg). On a hot day coffee drinkers may be persuaded to drink a glass of refreshing iced tea. Chances are they have not had hot tea brewed correctly and find it to be weak and flavorless. Recommendation:   A Tea

I find that  Cuisinart  has created an efficient and beautifully crafted single cup brewing machine.   The machine's lines and blue backlighting remind me of  Miami's  art deco look on South Beach.   The ease of operation along with the design allows me to daydream of vacation mornings and aperitif nights, as I have it my way anytime I chose.  The shape of the machine allows it to fit snugly and in flush symmetry to my other counter top appliances and overhead cabinet heights.   The machine also has versatility of functions with capability to provide the  Heat  in 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 oz options.   Cuisinart can be proud that their Keurig Technology Brewing system is a solid and attractive offering among other machines in this brewing option.   Should you decide to go with this machine, you can be confident that you will make it to the  Finals.

A package which is lovely to look at,  a coffee bean delightful to behold, brew it up and pour it in your mug, simply "black gold." I wrote that little ditty especially as an "ode to Starbucks Burundi Ngozi Reserve Coffee ." I'm not sure how I almost let this one slip by.  I hadn't even noticed it in my Clover store.  Thank the Coffee Gods for opening my eyes before it was all gone. Black tea-like aroma and cinnamon spices with chocolate accents. "This extraordinary coffee from the town of Ngozi in northern Burundi was delivered to us by Gashikanwa Specialty Coffee, a female-owned trading company in a male-dominated field that is helping to develop Burundi's specialty coffee industry while improving the lives of the farmers. Currently, Gashikanwa Specialty Coffee works with more than 2,000 small farmers and approximately 700 of which are female farmers. This special Starbucks Reserve® coffee is in very limited supply and

I loved Philz' Mint Mojito from the first skeptical sip I took of the creamy minty caffeine libation.   I have had a Peppermint Latte from another coffee house and was much unimpressed with the presentation and taste.   But, when I received this drink, I was immediately impressed with the large sprig of mint that prominently peered at me from a marbled brown and white pool of liquid with large cubes of ice breaking the surface.   I am not much for coffee drinks, I normally take mine black.   This drink might change all that, if only for this one drink.  If you are a coffee lover, you must try this Philz Coffee creation.
