Guatemala San Pedro La Laguna From Doma Coffee Roasting Company

Today's sample is Guatemala San Pedro La Laguna from the Doma Coffee Roasting Company, in Post Falls, Idaho. If you haven't taken the time to check out the Doma Coffee web site, you really should. Doma Coffee offers some unique coffees with attractive and creative packaging.

I sampled this Guatemala San Pedro La Laguna buy doing several pour-overs.

Intense, bright, crisp and flavorful were the first words that came to mind after sipping this coffee.

Once the medium roast beans were ground, the dry aroma was sweet and tart. There were aromas of both sweet caramel plus a touch of lime. Wet, the coffee was again sweet and tart with caramel and lime, but there were added notes of toast.

The pour-over itself produced a big frothy bloom from the grounds plus a tart and sweet coffee aroma filled the entire room. From the cup, there were notes of toast, nuts, caramel and lime to the nose.

I found the first sips to be bright, crisp and light with a refreshing sweetness that washes across the tongue. The was balance was near perfect supporting the tart refreshing notes of lime. As the coffee cooled, the caramel notes became more prominent and the mouthfeel picked up a bit more syrupiness.

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
