As I mentioned in this post, I have been invited to review coffee from Boca Java. I received my package in the mail this week and it contained 6 blogger’s blends cofees (8 oz. of each, how generous!), a hat and a coffee cup…
This is the second installment of reviews.
I started by grinding the coffee, since I requested whole bean for my order. This time I did a medium grind. I chose New Media Mavericks which says:
Unfiltered Truth.
Lead the information reformation with this medium roast from the prized Tarrazu region of Costa Rica. With excellent body and robust richness.
Now to see if it lives up to it’s creative tagline! I tried two different methods to review the coffee. Once again, I drank the first cup black and hot and then I tried it with soy creamer and sugar. Both were very different in that the black and hot was not my favorite. I used sugar and soy creamer for the second round and it was very smooth and tasted much better. This one had a very filtered taste to it and I tend to go for a bolder bite with my coffee. Some would probably really enjoy this one…it’s definitely not my favorite but also not something I won’t drink again.
Seems like I was right. This gourmet coffee is fabulous and I cannot wait to try one of the other blends and review it here. Take a peek at the site for Boca Java and look at their now included teas, too. I’m a big fan of hot tea. The “Blogger’s Fuel” is one way to get to the main Boca Java site. Go explore!
I wonder which she’d drink…tea or coffee? Why don’t you go ask? I’d really like to know…
I am so jealous. I want to try the coffee too
They just didn’t pick me
I liked this one well enough, but I prefer the Boot Up Blend over it.
I think I’m going to grind up Blogs of Bravery next.
MMmmmmmm.. coffee… I need to go get some.
My wife was once signed up for a sampling of Kraft Dinner. My wife does not eat Kraft Dinner.
They mailed a box to us and I made it and ate it. Then I filled in the attached survey and sent it back under her name. Oh, the fraud of it all…
The kicker was that I didn’t make it exactly as the package instructed, so they sent a second box. That was fine. But then they called to follow up with the answers. As my wife sat on the phone, she had to keep repeating the questions so I could give her the answer. Imagine the conversation:
THEM: “Did you follow the instructions on the package?”
HER: “Did I follow the package instructions?”
ME: “Yes”
HER: “Yes”
It took so very, very long…
