BECK ON BEANS: Authentic Donut Shop Blend Original Dark Roast Coffee by Cor.

Authentic Donut Shop Blend Original Dark Roast Coffee by Cor 


Fragrance:

Verdant. Wet, charred wood and floral. There’s something hitting my nose the same way as sugar or rose or mint, but I can’t make it out and it’s VERY subtle. Tiny hint of chocolate. 


Flavor: 

Very mild start. The roast flavor is carbon heavy. Aftertaste leaves a spicy note, like cinnamon sticks and sugar.  And maybe a hint of licorice?? This is a very complex cup! Why are you calling this “Donut shop?” This is more like something someone picked in his back yard and brewed freshly for me! 


I’m very impressed with these Cor products. They clearly know their coffee, but they’re trying to stay relevant to the masses by releasing “donut shop” type labels. 




Recommended for: 

  1. Sipping and savoring. The aftertaste on this cup is more delightful than the sip itself! This could easily be served as a dessert coffee black after a meal. 
  2. Drinking black. Granted, I didn’t try it with cream and sugar, but I truly believe it would ruin the cup. And I wanna keep drinking it. I love giving a thorough review, but I love good coffee more. 😋 ☕️ I’m concerned additives will drown out that slight hint of spice at the end of the sip and that’s my favorite part. 


Not recommended for:

  1. Coffee on the go. This is not a cup you spill into a Yeti and pound on the way to work. You've got to give it some due attention to really "get it." 
  2. Additives. I know. I didn’t try it that way and I’d be happy to. However, I’m not giving up the one beautiful cup I have for it. I’d be sad to see folks drowning this cup in accoutrements before giving it a real shot in its naked glory. 


Would I buy again? 

Definitely. This is a cup I’d serve to guests. The labeling isn’t pretentious but it sure tastes like a snobby brew. :)

  BeckEats: Arden’s Garden Cold Pressed Vegetable Juice, Green Energy Machine.     Welcome back to the #BeckThinks blog! Thank you for your patience on my short hiatus. I was busy helping move my family back to my hometown of Atlanta. We bought a home in the suburbs that we have deemed "The Treehouse" and we could not be happier.      In celebration of my family's eager return to The A, I'd like to highlight an Atlanta business that has been part of my consciousness for the majority of my life, Arden's Garden. But first, let's back up a step. As I may have previously mentioned, I have multiple food allergies and sensitivities that I’ve adjusted to over the last year. The short list includes gluten, dairy, nightshades (dried spices seem mildly reactive), stone fruits, and raw birch fruits (oral allergy syndrome). * sings* AND A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAAAAAR TREEEEEE! (Ironically, I’m not allergic to either of those things. Merry Christmas, me....

"In God's Country" by Beck Duffield

  In God’s country, poverty is a myth.  In God’s country, racism doesn’t exist. In God’s country, every neighborhood is your kind of neighborhood. In God’s country, you can pronounce everything on the menu and converse easily with the waitstaff.  In God’s country, everyone knows the lyrics of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” In God’s country, everyone stands for the same flag, sings the same songs, holds the same hats over the same hearts.  In God’s country, there’s always a cold beer waiting for you at the end of a long day. Or the beginning of one. Or both. In God’s country, Sundays are for church and football.  In God’s country, the only tattoos are military symbols and bible verses.  In God’s country, everyone is armed to the teeth.  In God’s country, your kids would never dream of deciding to be gay.  In God’s country, your son gets his ass kicked for wearing a dress to prom.  In God’s country, you’ll drop a $20 in the plate but call th...
