Whatโ€™s a razzleberry?

Without a doubt, no thought required, my coffee has the perfume of a raspberry. Curious, I peek into my mug. The liquid inside is a merlot colour with an oil sheen on the top. My taste buds scream bitter raspberry as my java slides over my tongue and down my throat. Even the aftertaste is… Continue reading Whatโ€™s a razzleberry?

Pies and Donuts

Iโ€™m on a pie and donut coffee flavour stretch and today is no different. The brand of my java is Bean around the World. The flavour is . . . The smell of cinnamon battles a sweet fruity or perhaps itโ€™s a floral smell. It not overwhelming. The combination creates an appley bouquet. I move… Continue reading Pies and Donuts

I love peanut butter, but can it be coffee?

The Keurig bubbles and the flow of liquid follows. Within seconds an oily sweet-earthy bouquet fills the air instantly calling to mind peanut butter. A closer smell reveals bitter undernotes of coffee. This java tastes like burnt nuts. It leaves an oily smooth feel in the mouth. Iโ€™m enjoying another Cookie Jar Coffee today. Itโ€™s… Continue reading I love peanut butter, but can it be coffee?

Sweet is at war with bitter

My coffee brand this morning is Cookie Jar Coffee. The flavour takes its lead from the salted caramel cookie. The cookie is chewy, but I know that wonโ€™t be part of my coffee experience today because I lack cookies. The coffee is a deep darkness in my mug. Sweet vanilla-caramel smell wars with the fragrance… Continue reading Sweet is at war with bitter

After the rejected marriage proposal Bramble withdrew to the cupboard. I thought my cup was just taking a break, but Bramble ran off with an antique tea cup named Bee.
