This is Marc’s and my favorite coffee from Kohana Coffee so far.
Kohana Panama is silky smooth with  flavors of smoky cinnamon toast and rose.

The one thing I can say about Kohana coffee, at least so far, is that the coffee is unique. I think at this point I could pick out a cup of Kohana in a blind taste test.  The aroma is smokey and slightly exotic…You guys know how weird I am when it comes to personifying coffee, right? Well this coffee is a mysterious, wealthy traveler on the Orient Express. Very Art Deco. Miss Scarlet in a game …read more

I am telling ya these guys can’t spell. One more time, so glad that it’s not all about the academics because what they do is make awesome organic coffee.
This morning we tore into the bag of French Konnexion.
French Konnexion is a Peruvian coffee (I just typed Koffee ), French roasted and the site describes it as chocolate-caramel-hazelnut. Hmmm.
As usual, I am tasting something totally different. Geez y’all, I hope my taste hasn’t been affected by the surgery! I just thought of that. Naaah….

I liked French Konnexion but not as well as the Morning Mayhem.. Here’s what I thought:
Very smooth, …read more

So, I am reclined here this morning, mostly wasting time. We could say “twittering” away my day…and we would be right. I am also sipping a cup of Boca Java’s Light Up Las Olas. Not the first cup, mind you… a cup.
Light Up Las Olas is a dark roast, blended from Columbian and Brazillian coffees. The aroma of the beans is spicy and licorice-y.  Nice.

The flavor is described on the site as having notes of cocoa. Eh. Maybe.
The flavor is warm and smoky, a bit too acidic at the end for my tastes. Slight nuances of marshmallow on the intake, …read more

The last coffee I have from Boca Java, at least until the end of May is the Banana Foster Float.    It sounds like a weird flavor but it is actually quite good.  This is what the company says:
Inspired by the international favorite and original New Orleans dessert, this is a triple-treat pleasure! Bananas Foster Float mixes banana, cinnamon, brandy and brown sugar into a base that’s full-bodied and complex. It offers an outrageously delicious taste sensation.

The flavor is somewhat subtle, lingering in the aftertaste rather than identifying itself in the fore-taste.  This was somewhat disconcerting to me…I am not sure …read more

I love Almond Joy bars.  I always have, since I was a kid.  Milky Way is my favorite and the one I will pick up the quickest, but once in awhile an Almond Joy is the only bar that will fix my craving.

Boca Java Tropical Kiss has an intense coconut flavor that fades out into lingering Belgian chocolate euphoria.  Usually with black coffee the flavor is not apparant.  This is not true with the Tropical Kiss.  The flavor is a bit more adult, a bit less sweet, maybe somewhat more subtle but it is there in the black coffee.  Add …read more

This was the second coffee that I tried from Community Coffee.  FIrst of all, if it has been awhile since you tried their coffees they ahve a totally different flavor than they used to.  I loved the Sumatra that i got.
The Rwanda is a medium roast.  I was interested to read that the coffee trees used were form fifty year old root stock.  That guarantees that there has been no tampering with the DNA!
But there is more.  This is from the website:

 
I am seriously going ot have to start ordering coffee since I think I have gone through all of the Starbucks coffees.  It stinks that I can’t pick up coffee locally because it makes it so much easier…I am sort of spontanious (read that unorganize) so it is hard with my time constraints to hunt down coffees.  Anyway..Just for you.I tried the Komodo Dragon Blend, from Indonesian grown beans.

 
When ever I see an email from Peggy I promise you I open it up pretty quick.  She is, after all, the one that pointed me in the direction of Ugly Mug.  So, when I got her email the other day I stopped what I was doing and read it.

 
I liked it!
This coffee is blended from beans from East Africa, Latin America and Indonesia.  In a word I would describe it as….

Celestial Seasonings has been one of my favorite grocery available teas for years.  As an artist I really love their packaging, and as a *greenie* I love the organic/Fair Trade mentality.  This is a warm, fuzzy company if I ever saw one, and I know that somewhere there is someone at Celestial Seasonings wearing birkenstocks and an organic cotton shirt, and reading 19th century poetry.
