Ethiopia Mocca Java is my current muse. I have been stockpiling it to share and enjoy for the rest of the year. There is something about this coffee prepared in a french press. It’s rich, bold and sweet, like a dessert in a cup. This is one I will miss when it’s gone!
I have really been enjoying this coffee with a flourless chocolate cookies from Starbucks. I wanted to make something similar (sorry, this is not flourless!) but I wanted to incorporate the Ethiopia Mocca Java ground coffee into the cookie. The result is an intense, fudgey chocolate cookie, with a strong coffee flavor. If you don’t have the Mocca Java, not to worry, this would be amazing with Caffe Verona as well!…
I have been hearing whispers of this coffee for several months, and I am so happy to finally have it in my hands. Ethiopia Mocca Java.
I caught wind of a limited time custom blend offering in California, and I was lucky enough to have my friend 
When you think of Sumatra, you probably think of a coffee with incredible earthy notes and a heavy syrupy body. This is not that coffee.
A few weeks ago Burundi Murambi appeared on the scoop bar at the roastery. We have not seen an offering from Burundi in a very long time (about 3 years) so I was ecstatic to go over there and pick up a few bags.
It’s February, and that means it’s time for everything romance and Caffè Verona! Caffè Verona was one of the first core coffees I fell in love with. I love how rich and roasty sweet it is, and when you pair it with dark chocolate, it is out of this world amazing.
Nicaragua Maracaturra is the first reserve subscription for 2016! What an epic way to kick off the year! This coffee has sweet herbal aromas, with notes of peach, apricot and honey. This is the second time Starbucks has offered this coffee, the first being in 2012.
Earlier I posted about my dark chocolate macarons with lemon charcoal to pair with Guatemala Casi Cielo. I wanted to switch things up a little bit and make the lemon the more dominate flavor in the pairing, dipped in dark chocolate.
I like to ring in each and every New Year with Guatemala Casi Cielo. This is one of my favorite coffees that I look forward to all year long, and I am always sad when it’s gone. I wanted to share my favorite pairing with Casi Cielo with you. This is a pairing I do each and every year, and somehow I never grow tired of it.
