  • What are Your Favorite Spices for Hot Drinks?

    4 Nov 2009 | 3:43 am
    It's no wonder that spices were once worth their weight in gold! From classics like Spiced Turkish Coffee and Masala Chai to more contemporary drinks like Orange Ginger Hot Cocoa, spices can have a major impact on the drinks we love. Some spices work better than others when it comes to particular beverages -- why lose the flavor of saffron in coffee or overpower white tea with cloves -- but many beverage lovers find themselves drawn to the same spices again and again. Whether it's for coffee or tea (or even cocoa or cider) some of my personal favorite spices are vanilla, ginger and cardamom.

  • Tisanes vs. "Herbal Teas"

    3 Nov 2009 | 1:17 am
    Although people commonly refer to chamomile, mint and ginger as "herbal teas," they are technically not tea at all. Whereas "herbal teas" come from many plants, "true teas" (such as white, green, oolong and black) come from the camellia Sinensis (or "Chinese camellia") plant. For that reason, many people are switching to the French word "tisane" (pronounced "tea-ZAHN") or the more evasive term "herbal infusion" when referring to tea-like, non-tea brews. Do you have a preference for the term "tisane," "herbal tea" or "infusion?" Why do you prefer one term over the others? Comment on the blog…

  • Name This Leaf

    2 Nov 2009 | 5:38 am
    How well do you know your tealeaves? Can you identify them by only the appearance and aroma? Test your skills and, if you're right, win bragging rights on Coffee / Tea and with your friends and family! Let's begin... This leaf doesn't look very leafy. Hmm... It smells roasty and a little bit nutty, like something a coffee drinker would love. What is it? If you know the answer, "leave" it here (wah-wah-wahhh) or in the Forum. Let the naming begin! P.S. - I know this is probably overly easy for serious tea drinkers. Let's keep this fun for everyone! If it's an extremely easy answer for you,…

  • "Third Wave Coffee"

    28 Oct 2009 | 5:08 am
    GQ Magazine recently published an online slide show about "third wave coffee," the current trend toward super-premium coffees, such as small batch roasts, artfully crafted espresso drinks and direct-from-origin beans. It profiles a handful of top-notch coffee purveyors across America and shares some of the secrets of what makes their quaffs so incredible. The overall gist of the article is this: If you are interested in getting into good coffee, now is the time. I couldn't agree more!

  • How to Store Coffee & Tea

    26 Oct 2009 | 1:07 am
    Do you know how to properly store your coffee and tea? (Hint: "In the freezer" isn't the right answer.) No matter how fresh your coffee and tea are when you buy them, all the flavor and benefits of freshness are lost when they are improperly stored. Whether you're fuzzy on the details of storing coffee and tea ("When are clear containers okay to use?") or you know you're storing your drink of choice incorrectly, there are two new Coffee / Tea articles to help you. One's a guide to tea storage and the other is a collection of quick facts on coffee storage. Read up, store right and enjoy the…

    On October 9, 2009, I had the opportunity to participate in a debate looking at the future of ethical coffee sourcing at the European Coffee Symposium in Vienna, Austria, which brought together more than 450 influential leaders from the coffee sector to talk coffee. I shared a panel with representatives from several certifying agencies, including Utz Certified, Fairtrade Foundation, and Rainforest Alliance. A lively discussion ensued after Peter Grffiths presented the topic, “Why Fair Trade Isn’t Fair,” and I think the audience learned a great deal about the need for…

    7 Nov 2009 | 3:56 pm
    Look, you guys -- I'm not a coffee snob. I'm really not. I figure if I can enjoy a burger from Sonic as much as I enjoy a burger from Shake Shack, or a Bud Light on game day as much as a craft beer at a brew house with good friends, then there's no reason I can't admit to occasionally savoring a road-trip coffee from Dunkin' Donuts as much as a handcrafted, manual-brew microlot coffee at an incredible coffee shop. And that's really how I feel.But really? Isn't this going just a bit too far?To add insult to injury ("injury" in this case being that this is an artificial ingredient designed to…

We had two of these on board our boat. There’s nothing like a shot of espresso (or a latte) right after a dive. Surfacing from the ocean leaves you discombobulated and dizzy from the waves to the point that water may not be enough to help you get your bearings back. However, a shot of espresso can do the trick. Above is a video of some of my dive buddies using pods for the Handpresso. All you need is hot water, pump it up…

I was starting to feel a bit grotty this morning when my girlfriend gave me a huge pick-me-up with a nice cup of mo :o{) Those rogue hairs have been irritating her a bit and she joked that we should tape it before we kiss. Then I’d risk losing it all when the tape came off!

That’s why it surprises people when I tell them I don’t hate Starbucks; in fact, I owe them a debt of gratitude for doing the market development that enables our business.  They’re not my favorite, either.  But when I’m away from home, with no other alternative, I’ll drink an SBUX beverage.  Sometimes I actually enjoy them, like when I can get the Pike Place Blend at the flagship store in Seattle.  Other times, it’s good enough…

Just over one hundred brewers, mostly craft brewers, set up for an evening in the old Durham Bulls park, each serving 2 or 3 offerings.  So maybe four hundred or so beers in all.  With a 2 oz cup in hand, I tasted about a quarter of them.  Good thing all that coffee cupping taught me to spit!

    Ok, you caught me, I did sing along while I typed the title for todays post. I know, many of you think it is to early to begin singing those types of jingles but when it fits it fits. Oh, no. I'm not talking about Christmas (although that is a great time of year, too). I'm talking about CoffeeFest Seattle - a family reunion of sorts that happens every year about this time.This is not just one of the countries best coffee trade shows, it is a time to rekindle that love we all have for what we do - coffee. As I sit here at the studio sipping a cup of Cost Rica La Minita Del Sol on this chilly…

  • Seattle’s Best 6th Avenue Bistro Blend

    Rob Angeles
    12 Oct 2009 | 6:35 pm
    I enjoy a good, strong cup of coffee just as much as the next coffee addict. And whenever I hear of rich-tasting coffee, it kind of makes me wish that I was in some European cafe where people like their coffee dark and strong. I’ve overheard people say that Seattle’s Best’s 6th Avenue Bistro Blend was as good as the coffee served in European cafes. I guess it’s about time I gave it a shot. This coffee has a solid, smoky aroma to it. But the smokiness is one that’s more desirable than burnt, so I don’t mind it at all. Taste-wise, it has a dark, rich flavor…

    Moving on to our next coffee, the Decaf Organic Fair Trade Twilight. Quite a mouthful to say, don’t you think. There are two things about this coffee that I like – the taste and how it was made. First of all, by being fair trade, I’m sure that those hardworking coffee farmers are paid right for their jobs. Good for them. Good for Seattle’s Best, too. Also, the fact that everything done to the coffee is organic – from growing to harvesting, cleaning to decaffeinating – people who might be allergic to chemical residues from the usual coffee processing…

    Flavored coffees are definitely gaining popularity right now. If you remember, I did an entire set of taste tests on Folgers’ flavored coffees a while back. One of the flavors I enjoyed during that particular set was the Hazelnut Cream. So it’ll be interesting to find out how Seattle’s Best’s take on this flavor would turn out. Upon opening the package, I immediately caught a whiff of sweetness in the coffee. I’m not surprised because I’ve heard a lot of people tell me that this was a bit too sweet for their palate. The same sweet, nutty goodness emanated…

  • Seattle’s Best Portside Blend

    Complex coffees are intriguing because of the different aromas and flavors that abound such a coffee. Weird enough, whenever I order a coffee whose origin is scattered, I amuse myself by trying to get as much flavor from the coffee as I can. It’s like a personal mind game I play whenever I drink such coffees. With Seattle’s Best’s Portside coffee, I got a chance to play my little mind game again. A multiple-origin coffee, the blend of flavors was really a treat for the senses. The strong coffee odor with a hint vanilla-ish scent was a delight. The rich flavor of the coffee…

    Who here doesn’t like Saturdays? I mean, I love it for the simple reason that I don’t have work on the weekends. How about you? Well, if you’re wondering why I brought up Saturday, that’s because I recently tried out Seattle’s Best’s Saturday’s Blend and will be sharing my thoughts about the coffee. Here goes: Aroma wise, I wasn’t sure if this coffee is as fragrant as the others. I take into account that this could be because it had been sitting in my cupboard for quite a while now. I was still able to detect a faint sweet scent, but it…

    We all know when we are strong willed. No one needs to tell us how to want our own way, it comes wired (or hot wired) into the general system. Lately I’ve been thinking about free will, stubborn will, our own will. In fact, everywhere I turn I see examples of just stubborn cussedness. Sadly, most of the time I’m finding those examples in my own self. Sometimes I wish God would stop holding up a mirror to me. It’s uncomfortable. Today was a good example. David and I are at Mom’s new house unpacking all her worldly goods. Mainly antique teacups and plates. And pie…

Do not slack in your faithfulness in hard work Let your spirit be on fire, bubbling up and boiling over, as you serve the Lord. Do not forget to rejoice, for hope is always just around the corner.

    I love to tell stories. No big secret there. But I have discovered lately that the best and the worst ministry stories can rarely be shared. There is always a person who would be embarrassed or a desire to keep the left hand from knowing what the right hand is doing. Good things, those, but they prevent us from sharing the power of the gospel at times. I’ve been in a ministry phase like that. One that is kind of quiet on the public front, but overwhelmingly radical on the private front. I SO wish I could share what’s been going on in the lives of people around me, because…

Advent Conspiracy is a movement to replace the consumerism of Christmas with the good news of hope. It is about giving our presence, not our presents.
