JazzyBird:From Freezer to Fantastic!

I was not sure what to expect when I emailed Shari of JazzyBird coffee. Normally I don’t request samples of a product to review, people just send them. But this was so intriguing that I could not resist. From the moment I read about this product I knew that it was something I wanted to try.
Problem was, or is, that it is only available in Louisiana and a few places in Mississippi. Would they ship?
You bet they would!

In fact, almost before I had the post published that announced I had found this intriguing item and was asking for samples..well Shari had emailed me agreeing to send them.

They got here the very next day.  You know, I have worked with several companies. Some are fun to work with because of the real-ness of the people involved.  Some prefer to be a *corporation*.  JazzyBird is a fun company….and they are generous.

Have I mentioned how much I like generosity in a company?  I do.

So, I got numeorus samples.  Each small cup is filled with fresh espresso and then frozen.  You run the little cups under hot water, release the espresso ice into a cup, and microwave until hot without boiling.  You then have an espresso shot..

Which you can turn into a latte by adding 1/2 cup milk or cream….and a little sugar….and….

Really, whatever you would like.

Also, this stuff is going to be fantastic for recipes like tiramisu…

O.k…so…how does it taste?

This is truly some of the best espresso I have had.  I like it alot.  For about 45 cents a serving you don’t need the expensive espresso maker, you don’t need the timer, you don’t need anything except a freezer, a cup, and a microwave.  This is a great idea and a great coffee..and I imagine that it won’t be long before JazzyBird is available everywhere.

What can you do? Contact JazzyBird and let them know that you are interested and where you are.  Contact your local Wholefoods, or specialty store and let them know that this product is out there and you want it.  Companies rise and fall based on consumer opinion.  Let’s start supporting the small companies and let the big corporations know we are tired of the junk they serve us.

I will be publishing an interview with Shari in the next few days.  I think you will find it interesting.
