Wisdom Sumatra

Wisdom Coffee Roasting Company


Wisdom Coffee Company Sumatra
This is a sample of Sumatra I just happened upon by chance from a local roasting company here in Spokane, WA I don't get a chance to review much of the local fare, and I am pretty happy to find this coffee.

Out of the bag the first thing I noticed was the lack of any exterior oils on the beans, however, this could be due to how it has been stored before it came to me. In the grinder the coarsely ground beans have a nice nutty, mocha aroma, the same aroma was present after the beans and water were added to the press. After steeping and pouring the first cup there was a slight oil sheen at the top and the same aromas of toast and mocha were present.

The first sip from the cup was quite rewarding. There was no bitterness or bite present and the coffee had the flavor of slightly sweet fresh bread. I also to found this first cup to be crisp and smooth. Once the second cup was poured I found it to be a bit more on the chewy side, which is always the case when using a press and there was a touch of peanuts present with the bread. With the second cup there was a mildly bitter aftertaste on the palate, but overall it was still refreshing.

This didn't seem to be a complex coffee in terms of flavors, but it was very enjoyable. I'll write the owners to see if they can provide more details on the raw coffee,

Eight O'Clock Coffee The Original

This sample of Eight O'Clock Coffee , "The Original", came right off the supermarket shelf the other day. It's a medium roast blend that included a large volume of broken and partial beans. Actually, I was surprised by the volume of broken beans as I poured each sample into the grinder. When the bag was opened, to the nose there were rich aromas of toast and coffee, while the pour-over aromas were a mix of cocoa and warm bread. I brewed and sampled four cups of The Original to be sure of my tasting notes. On the Eight O'Clock web site they list this coffee as "sweet, fruity and well balanced." Like most other coffee reviews that's not exactly what I found. In my samples there were semi-sweet flavors of toast, nuts and earth, with a hint of cocoa as the coffee cooled. I found the coffee clean and well balanced with a medium bodied, slightly dry mouth feel. Overall, The Original, from Eight O'Clock coffee brewed a flavorful rewarding cup

Tryst No. 2 Robusto Brandy E-Cigar

Featuring e-juice made in the USA, these  Tryst  e-cigars are a pretty sweet deal. The No. 2 Robusto Brandy is another great example of a cigarette alternative that give me cigar-like satisfaction indoors or wherever I can't smoke a real cigar. Like the last Tryst reviews, I've been puffing on the No. 2 the past two days while writing. Other than its brandy flavor, this Brandy model is just like the the other No. 2's. The tapered head makes it easy to hold hands-free between your teeth, the wrapper is durable showing no signs of wear, it produces a large volume of vapor and the brandy flavored e-juice tastes fantastic.  You probably know I'm not much of a flavored cigar person, but these American made e-juices from Tryst have fantastic flavor, this brandy is really close to tasting like brandy. I've tried other flavored e-cigarette products in the past and the flavors don't compare at all to the Tryst e-cigar flavors. Add together the great taste, the
