I Tried Bean Box Coffee And This Is What I Thought

I am one of those people who prefers coffee over tea. Maybe it's because I've been drinking coffee since I was little (don't worry, it was always decaf). As someone who can only drink decaf, I really only drink coffee for the comfort of having a warm drink and for the taste. I know a lot of people think that's strange and wonder why I love the taste of coffee so much, but I just do. I also really love the smell of coffee. It's very relaxing to me.

Whenever I go to grab a cup of coffee or I'm making some at home, I like to look for flavors that are not so common. Seeing as I'm a person who likes to try new things, I never drink the same things all the time. Recently, I was introduced to Bean Box. This a gourmet coffee subscription company from Seattle, WA and, lucky me, they sent me some decaf coffee to try out! (They shipped it within 2 days, I was impressed).

First of all, the way they package their coffee is done so perfectly and it's very organized. Definitely a good representation when opening a package for the first time. I was sent four different types of coffee: Three Ravens Blend Decaf, Ladro Roasting Decaf, Honduras Cocafelol Decaf, and Slate Coffee Roasters Nightcap Decaf. All of them sounded amazing and I didn't know which one I should try first. I opened up each bag to smell to see which one was the most appealing to me. The winner was the Ladro Roasting bag. This has notes of grapefruit, dark chocolate, and hazelnut. I brewed two cups for my dad and I and we were just blown away by the taste and quality. If only you could've seen the looks on our faces when we took that first sip.

We have yet to make it to the other three packs of coffee beans since I can't have too much coffee during the week, but I honestly can't wait to try the rest. My next one that I will make will be the Slate Coffee Roasters Nightcap. The notes in this are semi-sweet chocolate, pecan, and citrus. I have a feeling that I'll love this one.

If you're interested in trying it out, click here and choose your plan, your roast preference, and your payment plan. You will not be disappointed!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
