The pillows of steam rising from my mug are a flavour mix of sweet and bitter. I would class this as a mild sip of coffee that doesn’t suggest chocolate truffle. It isn’t too bitter. It’s a simple roasted coffee. I’m drink Bean Around the World, Belgium chocolate truffle flavoured coffee. If we were having… Continue reading Pillows of steam

Creative Expression
Writing when the words come little by little, only touching your creative mind without reaching fruition, can be like grasping at fairy dust. Thoughts and words—elusive grains of sand caught in the wind. Some are minuscule and golden with that soft flour-like feel as they slip between your fingers, inviting magic but not achieving it.… Continue reading Creative Expression

Confetti Cupcake Tea
Have we talked about confetti cupcake tea? It’s from David’s Tea. In the mug it doesn’t appear to gave a notable colour, but it has an evident sheen of white film coating its surface. Yuck! That doesn’t sound good, right? It has a soft sweet smell with an almost apple odour. The taste is mild… Continue reading Confetti Cupcake Tea

Another learning curve in my writing life.
I’ve been trying to write a short story. My word count aim is between seven and ten thousand. The current word count is less than four thousand words and it has been hard-pressed to get those onto paper. I’m not sure why the words aren’t flowing with ease, but I haven’t been pushing either. I… Continue reading Another learning curve in my writing life.

Donut Flavored Coffee
This coffee smells like raspberry jam. The smell takes me to a summer breakfast table at my grandmother’s cottage with warm buttered toast, a container of fresh homemade jam, and a cup of hot coffee. I don’t even need to taste this coffee to know that I will drink it again. My coffee is Donut… Continue reading Donut Flavored Coffee

The Lost Book
“Rascally missing book!” I grumble, acknowledging that it’s my fault for bringing home a book from the enchantment library. A library with dim lighting cast by floating lights. The old book smell is intense, and the shelving is medieval in appearance. It’s an irresistible building. Regardless, it’s a wonder the book was on the shelf… Continue reading The Lost Book

Sharp Taste
This morning I’m drinking Cookie Jar Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie flavoured coffee. It’s a rich darkness in my mug, but my nose doesn’t detect the notes of chocolate that I thought would be present. The taste is bitter black coffee with hints of mint. It’s not unpleasant but it isn’t what I was expecting. If… Continue reading Sharp Taste

Coffee
Have we sipped Van Houtte Dulce De Leche together before with its sweet smell of caramelized sugar? It has a bitter coffee taste with the floral undertones of vanilla. If we were having coffee, I would share with you that we finally got some rain and the smell of smoke has quieted. We still a… Continue reading Coffee

Crave Coffee
My coffee today is flirting with a bitter-sweet smell. The sharpest notes are bitter with hints of cooked syrup underneath. The taste is smooth. Because the coffee is hot as it flows over my taste buds my brain thinks warm, creamy, and caramel. If that is actually the case or just a trick of the… Continue reading Crave Coffee

Another Cookie Jar Coffee flavour
My first impression of the scent filling the space is of warm peanut butter cookies fresh from the oven! That sweet and nutty cookie dough smell that is interlaced with the oily notes of peanut butter. The flavour palate is oily roasted peanut, mildly bitter with an almost vanilla fade out. Big thanks to Cookie… Continue reading Another Cookie Jar Coffee flavour
