I received this intriguing bag of coffee as a birthday present from a dear friend (thank you, Jennifer!!), and I’ve been looking forward to reviewing it properly. Lemma Coffee Co. is a coffee roaster based in North Texas that currently has three locations throughout the Metroplex (Carrollton, Frisco, and Plano). I realized when doing research […]

Review: Heart Coffee Roasters Ethiopia Habtamu Fikadu (Portland, Oregon)
Coffees from Ethiopia, and specifically from the Yirgacheffe region, have been a go-to for me for years, so I was interested to see what these beans via Heart had to offer. Whole beans: Subtle and sweet aroma of berries and gentle florals. On a scale of 1-10 in terms of how fragrant the beans were, […]
Review: Roseline Coffee First Flowers Spring Blend (Portland, Oregon)
Roseline Coffee is one of my favorite roasters to order from when I’m in the mood for something special. I follow them on Instagram and when I saw this coffee pop up on my feed, I knew I had to try it. It’s one of the prettiest bags of coffee I’ve seen in a while, […]

So […]

Review: Heart Coffee Roasters Kenya Muranga (Portland, Oregon)
It’s nearly Monday afternoon where I live, but I hope you’re all having a bunch of happy mondays wherever you are! Another week beginning, another Heart coffee to review. Whole bean: This has a light and slightly tannic aroma that smells like sliced apples – not as tart as something like a Granny Smith; maybe more like […]
Review: Sterling Coffee Roasters Kenya Nyeri Gachatha AA (Portland, Oregon)
This post begins a streak of 5 reviews of Portland-based roasters, and I couldn’t be happier about it! My trip to Oregon was sheer delight; I enjoyed gorgeous sunny weather with a nice cool breeze, mouth-watering food, and of course superb coffee. I’m starting with Sterling partly because it’s the “oldest” coffee in the bunch […]
