\"StarbucksWell, hello there! It’s been a little while. I took a little social media hiatus, but now I am back and ready to get back to business!<\/p>\n

Recently, I noticed Trader Joe’s started stocking this pink grapefruit marmalade, and I knew immediately what I wanted to do with this. With it’s\u00a0 unmistakeable grapefruit notes, this marmalade scream to be paired with our core Kenya. These pop tarts are so simple to make, but they make for a perfectly impressive coffee tasting.<\/p>\n

I think Kenya is one of those coffee that baristas always remember. I’m almost positive that most partners first coffee tasting has to be Kenya paired with a lemon loaf. (I have done countless first impressions with this tasting) It’s one of those tastings that strikes you, one that\u00a0 you remember. Those intense citrus flavors, grapefruit most notably, take a coffee tasting to “this just tastes like coffee” to “whoa, this is intense”.<\/p>\n

Juicy and complex, Kenya has a high acidity and a medium body. Pairs well with blackberries, currant, and of course, grapefruit. Kenya is one of those coffees that can stand up in so many different brew methods. I love it as a pour over, and for this tasting I used my toast pour over<\/a>. It also makes an incredible cold brew. Perfectly crisp and refreshing.<\/p>\n

Making poptarts sounds like a lot of work, and it can be. You can make your own pastry dough from scratch… or you can just buy pre-made pie crusts. You can make your own marmalade… or you can pop over to Trader Joe’s and buy some. The choice is\u00a0 yours. While I do honestly love baking, sometimes, there are just not enough hours in the day. This is a quick and easy way to put together a coffee pairing that will impress!<\/p>\n
