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.
