I am a sucker for two things (well more than two, but we’re focusing on THESE two right now)… coffee and a well blogged review. Darn if Sarah Gilbert didn’t lure me into buying the Ethiopia Sidamo from Stumptown Coffee Roasters. And darn if Sarah isn’t out of her ever – food – blogging mind. This coffee doesn’t taste like strawberries and it isn’t "Neopolitan ice cream" either. Or maybe it would be if I added milk, but I don’t – I drink my coffee black.
On the other hand, it is a nice coffee. A wee bit fruity, sure. It’s light that way, not deep and dark and heavy. It’s a wee bit like the Starbucks Gazebo in it’s lightness. This is definitely a spring/summer coffee and I think anyone who likes iced coffee (I do not) would enjoy this over ice – as a lot of people do the Gazebo (click Michelle, are you out there???).
I found it amusing that my bag of from Stumptown arrived not only quickly but with my name written in pencil on the bottom of the bag. Cute. Small biz feel.
Thanks Sarah and Stumptown, even if I didn’t find it strawberry-like – I enjoyed it.

I miss small town companies. Then again I suppose I’d really have to become a regular and then only places I’m a regular are the library (where they are starting to know me) and the little Indian takeout place across the street from the library where I’m convinced they think of me at “the crazy white girl who is constantly ordering samosas”. lol
Nobody who orders a lot of samosas is crazy.
