Surfin Safari coffee from Boca Java

10/14/2009 11:08:30 AM

While writing this review, I'm enjoying a little mid-afternoon dessert in the form of the Surfing Safari coffee from Boca Java. Categorized as a "Specialty Flavor" coffee, it's an unusual blend of aromas and tastes that is ideal not only after meals but really anytime of the day.

Using top of the line Arabica beans, the Surfing Safari coffee is a light roast that brews to a complex, well-balanced, very full-bodied cup with no bitter aftertaste. What makes the taste unique is the combination of flavors Boca Java has introduced: caramel, vanilla and Kahlua. None of these tropical flavors is overpowering, but you smell them during brewing and you taste them in each sip. I plan on using the Surfing Safari coffee as a base for a flavored latte.

Another in the Silver Sampler collection from Boca Java, The Surfing Safari coffee is a delicious change of pace treat I look forward to enjoying regularly.

Saggitarius Blend tea

10/6/2009 1:15:30 PM

Since saggitarius is the sign under which I was born, I decided to try the Saggitarius Blend, one of 12 blends in the Zodiac Series from Adagio Teas.

It's an interesting blend of Earl Gray Bravo, a Sri Lankan black tea (flavored with oil of bergamot), vanilla beans and cream flavoring. It steeps to a light-bodied, slightly sweet brew that is a relaxing treat in the afternoon or with dessert after a meal.

The vanilla scent is evident with every sip, yet not so overpowering as to intrude upon the pleasant Earl Gray tea. I suggest trying the Saggitarius Blend from Adagio Teas. I look forward to trying the other 11 blends as well in the Zodiac Series.
