| Three's a crowd? Not these caffeinated bad-boys! ... ☕ |
Too much of a good thing is bad, according to the wise-old ones... Ergo, consuming my favorite local coffee blend on a daily basis (thrice-a-day even) stales my palette from time-to-time. This is when I seek out to try something new (a coffee "fling" perhaps?), usually an imported brand. Our San Francisco-based mole Les G never fails to amaze us with her good-foodie-finds... and this time she inclined it a notch higher by shipping it to us in a "balik-bayan" box, among other lovable loots!

This is the same satisfyingly-rich, dark roast coffee served in Thomas Keller's famous
Bouchon Bakery in Napa Valley, CA. Custom blended from four of the world's key coffee growing regions; it is masterfully prepared to Chef Keller's exacting specs and artisan roasted by hand, thus ensuring that each and every small batch is performed with tender-loving care!

Potently-rich flavor, excellent Crema too...

My initial sip of this Rich-Dark Viennese-style roast reveals a robust mouthfeel, with slight acidity and an impeccably smooth finish. Just the way I like it!!! ♥ Surely brings back fond memories of our recent US trip...
Enticed??? For only $15.45 for a 16-oz pack (480grams), it's definitely worth the coffee lust!
Check out www.equatorcoffees.com. Signing out, I'm off to fiish this bag and resume regular palette programming...
First off, I love the packaging of Equator Coffee. The last photo with the child's painting looks fab too--gives me the fuzzy warm feeling of enjoying a cup with children in the background. :) I wonder which will suit my palette among the three blends? Hmmm...can't wait!!
