I've been looking to restart my pickle business. As it happens, my cousin texted me this morning asking me what my plans were. She roasts coffee and sells it at a pop up market in an affluent town an hour east of me. She was wondering if I'd be interested in joining their market. They sell twice a week. So I told her I would go their this afternoon to take a look around.
I've never been a serious coffee drinker. I go through periods (take a swing) where I'll drink coffee for a few weeks then quit. I'm not a fan of anything bitter so I add cream (there's another perfect pitch) and sugar when I do drink it.
Anyway, I've been wanting to taste her coffee because I've considered doing holiday gift baskets and great premium coffee would be a natural fit to what I have in mind. So I poured myself a cup and drank it black so I could appreciate its raw flavor. I was certainly surprised by how great it tasted. Smooth as silk without even a hint of bitterness. I ended up drinking 5 cups over a 3 hour period.
She has sourced some green single farm source beans and roasts them herself. Needless to say, I bought a 1/2 pound of whole beans.
Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
