Mocha and Java

saturday.3.september.2011

Yesterday was Coffee Bean’s first day at nursery :o( Well, it was more of his first visit to nursery, if I’m completely honest. Husband and I took him over to meet his new Aunty and to check out his new daytime abode, before we send him packing for an entire day. On the bright side he seemed very interested in his new playpen and the other kids immediately claimed his as one of their own. As a matter of fact, a particularly precocious 2 year old demanded to know why he was leaving after only a few minutes. She had to be reassured that Coffee Bean would be back to play on Monday.

While Coffee Bean was examining his nursery Father Dearest was collecting our newest coffee selection: a Counter Culture offering by the name of 1922 Mocha & Java Blend. I’m not sure why they’ve labeled it 1922, but there is certainly nothing old about this Mocha Java coffee! The fresh and fruity notes of dried cranberries are the first to hit the palate and are followed by a rich chocolate and caramel finish. A full-bodied blend that when prepared just right, in my trusty French Press, was an absolute delight to the senses.

I can’t say if the Counter Culture Mocha Java was better than the Dean’s Beans version. Maybe I’ll have to order another batch of that one to compare…
