It's Pumpkin Time! There's a very small window of opportunity to enjoy all the season has to offer, including pumpkin in all its various forms, like pumpkin coffee. I would brew these GMC Pumpkin Spice Keurig cups for the aroma alone.  But, it not only smells good, it tastes delicious. I popped one into the brewer this morning and when I removed my cup, it was just like the leaves were changing before my eyes. Fair Trade Certified, Light Roasted Coffee with the convenience of single-serve. Impress your guests or treat yourself.  You won't regret it. And don't wait - these won't be around forever and something tells me they're going to be in high demand. From Green Mountain Coffee . *Green Mountain Coffee provided me with  free Pumpkin Spice K-Cups for the purposes of preparing this review which in no way influenced my review nor took away from my enjoyment of same .

Wow.  That's all I can say right now.   This is GREAT coffee.  I got up extra early to clean my coffee gear to make sure I was making the purest pot of Kona possible.  And this is it. I scored it from Catahoula .   Catahoula scored it from "Uncle Kem."   Only thing, I can't find Uncle Kem anywhere on the world wide web.  Could it be a "code name?" Doesn't matter.  The coffee is a direct trade, 100% KONA from a private estate. Smooth, balanced joy in my mug. I trust Catahoula to deliver some of the best micro-roasted coffee around.  So, if they say it's "Uncle Kem's," I'm taking them at their word.  They're not revealing their source and I'm not going to question them about it because snitches get stitches. Happy Hump Day!

It's easy to get stuck in a rut.  And that includes when it comes to coffee. So, today I'm preparing for fall by trying a new roast for the new season ahead. Last year, I made a concerted effort to watch more football.  Okay, truthfully speaking, that's the only thing that is on the TV in this house on Sunday afternoons.  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right? Right now, I'm enjoying a cup of Equator's Costa Rica La Bisunga which was roasted only four days ago.  That's as fresh as it gets! The profile for this coffee reads:  "Intense fruit flavors, rich notes of Port wine, framboise, figs and milk chocolate." My palate detects the chocolate, for sure, and the fruit comes through also.  And did I mention "smooth?"   However, I don't taste the Port wine, framboise (that's French for raspberry) and figs just yet. You know what that means, don't you? Time for my second cup. Cost:  Around 15.00 dollar
