I think I can taste the “floral” accent …

Admittedly, I typically have two sweeteners with every coffee. And today I decided to try it without the sweetener so I can get the “real” taste. It’s still good, but I gotta go back to my latest favorite: Kenya.

It’s interesting … but the taste is different between my Press and just the filtered coffee. And I decided I like Komodo Dragon filtered rather than in the Press.

There are three coffee options available for the free sample, so click on:

  • Sumatra
  • Verona
  • House Blend

After I registered it said it would take 6 weeks or so to get my free sample — Sumatra!

Go to Starbucks Coffee at Home here!

What I mean is … make the site more “bloggable” to people like me. And one way for me to keep up with the site without actually logging is is to offer an RSS feed.

Just a thought…

According to the description: “It features a fleeting, floral aroma with a bright yet soft finish and, like the best Sidamo coffees, a wonderful hint of lemon.”

I’m curious about the lemon flavor …. tomorrow morning it is!

Have you tried this coffee yourself, or want to give me some tips for how to drink it? Let me know in the comments below.

But it’s a little more earthy than I like.

Then after a recommendation from a local barista, I got started with Kenya . Now it’s definitely my new favorite.

It’s got a “citrus” taste and I don’t know if my subconscious just forced that into my tastebuds, but after I knew that I could taste it.

I also tried a little bit of orange juice in my French Press with my Kenya and that was a neat morning treat. I probably won’t do it all the time, but it was a good twist for the buds, who had about two bags of Kenya before that.

So after I bought my new coffee adventure — Ethiopian Sidomo — I ordered (or tried) a Tall Double Shot on Ice. From what the barista told me, it sounded a lot like an Americano.

It also has “classic Sweetener” in it … which he described as “sugar and water” … and it had some milk on the top I think.

Either way, it was pretty good …. a “delighhhhhhhtful” little beverage for the rest of the evening.
