Buddy Brew’s Columbian Supremo Popayan

It was a dark and stormy night…
No. Really. It’s a dark and stormy night. I just raced an ice storm north from Davenport to Chicago. Tomorrow morning I’ll have to chisel my way into my car. It’s the 9th circle of frozen Hell out there.
It’s nice and warm in my cottage, and I just brewed up some Columbian Supremo that Buddy Brew sent me, settling in to do some work before recording a podcast – drinking coffee because I have to be sharp and alert to keep up with the witty banter of the show hosts – and also, to be efficient, try and squeeze in a review.
This coffee is sharp and snappy at the onset, giving a crisp tartness supported by a rich undercurrent of wood smoke. It is really good. Delicious. And I’m not just saying this because I consider the Buddy Brew folks my friends. It’s a very good brew, good even after you’re done because it finishes with a creamy, milk-chocolaty aftertaste that lingers for a good while.
As you’d probably guess, I have a high caffeine tolerance. I can drink a double espresso and fall asleep. But this bean seems to pack an extra punch because after just one mug I’m wired and wondering if maybe it was a bad idea drinking it in the evening.
The lights are flickering. I may loose power soon. Going to finish this up and post it before I do.
Buddy Brew’s Columbian Supremo Popayan = a groovy brew!
