Billy Joe writes, "There are a lot of reasons to get up in the morning. I'm thankful for each and every one. However, to hover over freshly ground Eight O'clock Colombian beans is a much anticipated event. Nothing pushes the 'Good Morning' button like the trifecta of coffee aromas in the morning.
Each step of the coffee-ing process carries a special nuance of aroma. First tickle to the olfactories floods out with the opening of the airtight glass jar of medium roasted beans. Next, the aroma morphs and intensifies with the grinding of the beans followed by the brewing coffee which sort of gently wraps its aroma around the body where it seems that each pore of the skin drinks in the final morning aroma.
Yes, coffee is much more than a 'cup of joe'! It is a visceral experience!" Comments | Permalink Beautiful Hellebore blooming this winter
