Don't laugh.  Sometimes I select my coffees according to the book I happen to be reading at the time. Last week, I thought about one of my all-time favorite books " Disappearing Acts " by Terry McMillan.  In one of the scenes, the main character orders a pound of Viennese Coffee. Now, it's entirely possible that I'm completely misremembering.  Maybe she ordered Mocha Java.  For sure she bought a bag of coffee beans.  But, I digress. The point is that I couldn't get Viennese coffee out of my head and so I went to Fonte's website and lo and behold - Viennese blend is available.   The rest is history or my-story as I sit here sipping on a hot cup of amazing Viennese Blend Coffee from Seattle's Fonte coffee all the way here in San Francisco.   You are what you drink. Fonte Viennese Blend Coffee . Available online in whole bean or ground.

A coffee so good that I can't describe it. Seriously, Starbucks' Vietnam Da Lat coffee is very good.  In fact, it's reserved. I wanted to write a post about the flavors, complexity, acidity, roast quality but all I've got is a good - very good cup of coffee. The name is what led me to pick up the bag in the store.  I had not seen this variety before. When I asked the barista if it was dark or medium or light, she said "It's kinda dark, but not really dark, more medium.  It's good." She is right.  It is good.  In fact, I would turn the meter more toward 'great.' I'll definitely buy it again. Starbucks Vietnam Da Lat Coffee - $12.50 for an eight ounce bag.  Limi ted quantity.
