Good Trip Coffee Co Mayan Cocoa Organic Infusion





   Today I bring to you something a little different from my norm. These are cold brew bags from Good Trip Coffee Co. While traveling in Nicaragua, Angela & Andrew began buying green coffee from local markets, roasting it on the stove, and making cold brew. They played with different roasts and created drinks using simple ingredients. The results were delicious, and ignited an exciting chain of events. On October 11, 2016, Good Trip Coffee Co. was born. Two months later, they opened their website and launched their product line of artisan brews.

   This is their Mayan Cocoa Organic Infusion. It consists of Nicaraguan coffee blended with raw cacao, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of cayenne. The coffee comes from woman producers of the Miraflor Estelí Region of Nicaragua. The cold brewing process is super simple. Drop 2 compostable bags of coffee in a jar, place in the fridge, and wait 12-24 hours. The resulting brew was super tasty. I’m typically not a big fan of Toddy cold brews, but this was super smooth. Their bags must filter the grounds very well. Super chocolatey. Nice kick of spice & heat. I bet this would be delicious both with cream & hot as well. Very well done cold brew bag system by these folks for sure!

   Many thanks to Angela & Good Trip for the tasty coffee. Excited to try the other blend I have from them.

   Today I feature a tasty bean from Alamance Kaffee Werks out of Graham, North Carolina. Alamance Kaffee Werks was started from the enjoyment of amazing coffee by Daniel Krenzer & Kevin Jordan. Daniel's love of coffee came after visiting Corlesto Coffee Roasters in Billings, Montana. He's been to Costa Rica and Thailand, two totally different coffee experiences, and became enthralled with what these regions are offering the coffee world and how coffee is embedded in the culture. When not working with coffee, he works as a school psychologist in public education, primarily working on behalf of students with disabilities. And as such, part of his proceeds go towards non-profit organizations that provide mental health supports for children with Autism and brain injuries. Kevin's story started while on a mission trip to El Salvador. It has been through the introduction to roasting he has been blessed to experience once again a truly excellent cup of coffee. The tast

   Today I have another bean from the good people over at Alamance Kaffee Werks out of Graham, North Carolina. Alamance Kaffee Werks is passionate about custom roasted coffee, the right roast for the the right bean at the right value. The first thing that you will notice with AKW coffee is the aroma and vibrant flavor. These qualities come from a fresh roasted bean. Since AKW is a custom roastery, your bean is roasted to your preference. This means that the beans are roasted in small batches with precision and care. Once ordered, your coffee will be packaged and on its way to you quickly. If you'd like a personalized blend or roast, let them know and they can do that for you.     This is their Mexico bean. This is a washed bean grown within the Sierra Madre region at an altitude of 1600 meters above sea level. This coffee is certified Organic and Direct Trade. Some of this coffee is even grown in environmentally protected areas, as Chiapas' rainforests are home to th

Tony’s Chocolonely Milk Chocolate

   I know I haven't done any chocolate bars for you guys in quite some time, but they don't come through my mailbox as often as the coffee (bummer, I know). But recently I reached out to Tony's (after seeing them in my local World Market store) and they have been kind enough to supply me with some of their bars for me to share with everyone.    In 2005 Dutch investigative reporter Teun (Tony) van de Keuken launched an investigation about the use of slavery within the cocoa industry on his consumer report show Keuringsdienst van Waarde. He was literally shocked to discover that most of the chocolate on supermarket shelves was harvested by slaves—worse, by child slaves. He decided to do something about it. On November 29th 2005, Teun decided to lead by example and make 5,000 Fairtrade chocolate bars. Tony’s Chocolonely was born. The very first Fair Trade Tony’s Chocolonely bars hit the supermarket shelves in 2005. In 2006 they became legit by registering with the
