Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

So, I was wandering around the office yesterday, looking for inspiration for a new post, when I stumbled across a citrus cream cheese coffee cake recipe on the back of a Jack Frost Sugar package. “Huzzah!” I thought to myself.

Much to my surprise there is no actual coffee in coffee cake (apparently everyone else in the office knew this), which came as a huge let down because I have a whole pound of espresso waiting at home to be used in a recipe. But, oh well, coffee cake goes with coffee and we have plenty that around here, so I decided to carry on with the project.

Updates- New Coffees

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Coffee Bean Direct is now roasting Puerto Rican Hacienda Monte Alto. It is a very high-quality estate coffee that we are roasting light to preserve its excellent flavor characteristics. Also available in 1lb bags.

We are getting a tremendous response for our Acai Wulong Tea. This flavored tea uses wulong tea leaves as its base and we add real acai berry and flavoring.

Finally, we have secured another supply of Colombian Mesa De Los Santos coffee. We are currently roasting this coffee as a City Roast and a Dark (french) Roast.

February Valentine coffee flavors are now online. Additional flavors are available in 1lb bags. You can also get a special Valentines Day Coffee Sampler containing even more unique flavors.
