Organic Fair Trade Coffee & Specialty Tea

Whenever someone in my life has a birthday or a housewarming I include a bag of this. People always reach out afterward to say how much they liked it. It's become my signature gift for coffee people. Easy choice, always lands well.

Coffee wakes you up but this one also somehow feels refreshing, like something about the peppermint just makes it feel clean. Hard to explain but the effect is real. I drink it first thing in the morning and it genuinely sets a good tone for the day.

I found this last December and absolutely loved it. When I realized I could order it any time of year I stocked up. Six bags in my pantry and I feel secure. The peppermint flavor is consistent across bags and the beans arrive fresh every time. Good operation.

I worried the peppermint would get muddy in a French press but it actually blooms really nicely. You get a full bodied cup with that cool mint coming through clearly. Four minute steep, coarse grind, done. One of the better cups I've made at home in a while.

I keep the bag on my counter because opening it is legitimately one of the best parts of my morning. That cool peppermint mixed with fresh roasted coffee smell is something I didn't know I needed. The actual coffee lives up to the smell which is all you can really ask.

I've been experimenting with pour over technique lately and this coffee has been great for it. The medium roast extracts cleanly and the peppermint is expressed well at the right water temperature. It's a fun bean to work with if you're into manual brewing.

There's something nostalgic about this coffee. The smell when brewing takes me right back to unwrapping candy canes as a kid. The taste delivers on that without going overboard. It's a sweet memory in a cup and I look forward to it every morning.

I pull shots on my home espresso machine and this grind option is a great call. The peppermint comes through in the crema in a really interesting way and it makes for a unique shot. As a straight espresso it's bold and refreshing at the same time.

My daughters saw the candy cane label and now they think every morning is special. They have a small cup each with lots of milk and they love it. I love that they're drinking something without a ton of added sugar. The coffee does all the flavor work.

It's officially my summer drink now. I brew a batch the night before, chill it, and pour over ice the next morning. The peppermint is even more refreshing cold and it keeps me from spending five dollars a day at the coffee shop down the street.

You can tell the beans are fresh when you open the bag. The hazelnut aroma hits you right away but it's balanced with that roasted coffee smell underneath. The bag looks nice too, which matters if you're giving it as a gift. More importantly, the coffee itself is excellent.

I think at a certain point you stop overanalyzing and just appreciate that something is good. This is good coffee. It smells good, it tastes good, it's not too sweet, and the hazelnut works. I've recommended it to three people and all of them have thanked me.

I pull shots on my home machine and the espresso grind option was a big selling point for me. The hazelnut comes through in the espresso in a subtle way that actually works really well as a standalone shot. I've also used it for lattes and it's fantastic. Versatile bean.

Found this during a slow Sunday browsing session and figured I'd try a bag. That was four months and several bags ago. It's firmly in my regular rotation now. The hazelnut is exactly the right kind of flavor note for a morning cup. Not dessert, just warm and good.

I didn't expect to say this but the smell alone is worth ordering. The way the hazelnut mixes with the roasted coffee smell when it's brewing is incredible. It's become a morning ritual I actually enjoy rather than rush through. The taste matches the smell which not all coffees can claim.
