PEETS COFFEE Major Dickasons blend

Interesting notes of spice and wood, this is a very comfortable coffee. I would pair this coffee with Eastern European comfort food and some baklava for dessert. I'm having it with A Leige Waffe this morning - but would not rule out having this with a paprika inspired dish. 

BULLITPROOF?

Though it is questionable that coconut fat will boost brainpower, or grass fed beef butter will quell your appetite, Coffee+butter+ coconut = mmmm

STUMPTOWN house blend

"Shiver me timbers" this is a seafarers wet dream. Bold and smokey, tar, Cabernet and oak hints make this Blend a portlandia favorite! 4.5 points

COFFIG

WOW!! If ever I must give up caffeine, this is a hidden gem! Fantastic bold flavored with hints of maple and whisky and dried fruit!  This beverage is not coffee, but sure does drink like it!

METROPOLITAN NORTHWEST BLEND

This appealing blend carries nounces of light smoke, plum and birch-pleasantly carries a robust aftertaste. Light acidic tones and a Medium Dark roast makes this coffee both tasty and energetic!  Not sure if this is available to the general public - but Farmers does a surprisingly good job at nailing down the micro- regional palate profile. 3.5 points.
