Nate Recommended This week I received some coffee from HoneyBean.com , a small coffee company based in Lexington, Kentucky. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the Fair Trade / Organic Velvet Hammer blend. This is their signature blend, and is described as follows on their site..
Certified Fair Trade Organic. Intense in every category. Sharp acidity enveloped in a smokey flavor. Our signature blend, Velvet Hammer® is the gold standard of coffee intensity. We begin with a careful balance of Central American, African and Indonesian coffees, and then finish it off with an Italian roasting. The result is a dark-roasted, bright, and intense coffee with a sweet smoky flavor you’ll not soon forget. The coffee gets uniformly high marks from all who try it. Perfect for espresso. Fair Trade Organic Certified.
This is an excellent, well balanced coffee blend that offers a variety of tastes.
