In that first deep inhale I catch notes that make me think of maraschino cherries that preserved and sweetened bright red cherry. However, it isn’t just any maraschino cherry. This is the chocolate covered maraschino cherry with the distinct scent of brandy flavoured liqueur. This coffee taste mimics that bitter chocolate with sweet alcohol and… Continue reading Pre-Christmas Coffee

Blazing Cinnamon Coffee
Would you like a virtual cup of coffee? If we were having coffee the smell of cinnamon would be pungent. It is a sweet, spicy and woodsy odour. The rich black liquid is so hot that only tiny sips breach waiting lips. As it slips over the taste buds they explode with the strong warm… Continue reading Blazing Cinnamon Coffee

Coffee asks, Mint Chocolate & Christmas?
There is a faint minty smell hiding under the regular odour of coffee. That same minty smell can be found in each sip paired with the bitter roasted woodsy note of chocolate. The blends of flavour linger on the tongue long after the warm brew has made its way from tongue to tummy. Mmmm, mint… Continue reading Coffee asks, Mint Chocolate & Christmas?

Flavoured Coffee, the virtual kind
There is a sweetness to the scent this morning that influences my expectation about taste. The taste, however, surprises me because it is shockingly bitter. It isn't an unpleasant taste though. The bitterness fades into smoky notes reminiscent of vanilla. If we were having coffee I would offer you a Coney Island Caramel flavoured coffee.… Continue reading Flavoured Coffee, the virtual kind

A mug of steaming coffee
The steam seems really vivid this morning. Soft tones of grey and white twisting together as they rise 3 to 4 inches in the air before they vanish on the air currents. Near the beginning of their journey the white mist is in stark contrast to the dark brown coffee that forms it. The aroma… Continue reading A mug of steaming coffee

Drive through Coffee
For some reason this morning I would love to hit a drive through and grab a coffee. Instead as I make my morning cup of java I envision a delicious light roast coffee in the cup holder of my F150, and in my mind’s eye I can see that rich nut brown colour waiting to… Continue reading Drive through Coffee

Coffee & Comfort
The scent of vanilla is just an undertone to the rich coffee smell. It is surprising how the vanilla adds notes of sweetness to the smell that one would expect to carry through into the flavour. However, that first sip does not reveal anything other than a smooth black coffee. Today I am tasting Hamilton… Continue reading Coffee & Comfort
