Coffee

Oh yea I've had that Veranda blend before, it's hard to remember the flavor but I do remember it being really light & difficult to pick out flavors since I don't have a very refined palette
 
Last coffee of 2016?
I think mine will be a Guatemalan!

^ I had a couple of cups of the coffee that you gifted me, this morning. :)

I also wanted to say "thank you," for the sweet gift that you included in my package, from your wife's hometown in Japan. It's really nice.

Happy New Year everyone! :thumbup:
 
Great picture! So much to like there. I noticed another knife in one of your previous posts that looked rather familiar. ;) I am almost out of my SS coffee. Time to find something new to try.

What kind of coffee do you like? We always have Mississippi MUD here!!
 
Every time I order coffee I try something different. How else can you know what you are going to like the best? I will say, one of the ones that I really enjoyed was a Honduran Marcala. That Mokha Java from Hartford that I received in the secret santa exchange was really good as well. What can I say, my coffee habit is very much like my knife habit, I have to have it and I want to try it all!
 
This came by my desk today and had to try, it's coffee with pine nuts :confused: reminds of coffee with chicory a lot, not bad if a bit bland.

Wow pictures bring memories . in the early 80's my dad and mom would go out and pick coffe in Puerto Rico . Back then the pay rate was $5 for a five gallon bucket . They use to put them in sacks in the early part of the season they will only let them pick the ones that were ripe like the ones in the picture . That was hard work because they had to pick them . So at the end of the day my mom will only end up with 3 to 5 and my dad 5 to 7 five gallon bucket . At the end of the season like the pictures above they go back to where they first start and pick them all meaning scrape the tree clean . That's when my mom will pick 7 to 9 and my dad was doing about 12 to 18 . We use to take off from school and go for the day . The high light of the day was as soon as my dad came in I was asking how many buckets did he get .

^ What a great story! :love_heart:

Their hard work I'm certain, taught you some very valuable lessons. I was stationed in Roosevelt Roads Puerto Rico, back in my Seabee days. What a beautiful island, and beautiful people.
