September 2008

Upon picking this one up, my first reaction was, "Does that say ‘orgasmic?’ Or ‘organic?’"  It’s hand-written so I couldn’t tell until putting on my glasses and taking a closer look.

Deja-vu, I thought. 

It definitely says ‘organic’ but I couldn’t help but think "Orgasmic Harvest" would make a great name for a coffee.

As it turns out, my first impression was right.  This coffee is indeed orgasmic.  It brews up bold and strong, with a rich and very deep flavor, hinting of walnut, dark chocolate, and a touch of aromatic wood smoke.

It’s also very smooth, especially considering it’s respectable edge.  Elizabeth over at Country Morning is a master at roasting and blending, and this orgasmic organic harvest is a definite winner.  It’s not just good, it’s awesome good.

And very groovy.

“Full bodied & slightly spicy,” reads the package.

To me it doesn’t taste “spicy” as much as it does “tainted.”

It’s a beautiful, misty early morning.  I can see a couple of deer in the field from my window.  The crickets are still chirping.

My iPhone says it’s 61º F outside.

The grinder makes its harsh sound against this peaceful backdrop, shockingly loud, and afterward the quiet seems deafening.  The amazing scent of fresh coffee is worth it.  It smells so good I could lick it.

I’d discovered Country Morning Coffee a year or so ago, and am quite happy to have more of it.  This blend, hand-written on the package, is "Giddy-Up-N’-Go."  No doubt an energizing morning brew.

I take that first reverent sip of the day.

It tastes like dark co-co riding on an aggressive black roasted edge.  It’s a French Roast taste mellowed with something milder and sweeter, and I detect walnut notes.  It is extremely groovy.

I could drink it all day.  I’m certainly enjoying the way it enhances this already beautiful morning.
