Blanchard's: The best coffee in the world! Ends 10/10/12

I drink a lot of coffee.  By a lot, I mean that a pound bag lasts... I don't know... a week.  Or less.  Fully leaded or Decaf, it makes no difference to me.  All I want, all I demand is taste and quality.  That's where Blanchard's Coffee comes in to play.

I first heard of Blanchard's Coffee in fall of 2011.  Every review, every customer comment was glowing.  You KNOW I had to try it.

This is where words fail me -- this was the best coffee I have ever tasted.  I don't say that for the sake of this review.  I say it because, for me, it is absolutely true.

If you are a coffee fiend addict aficionado, you will understand!

Blanchard's Coffee company is an independent, family-owned coffee roastery in Richmond, VA. They roast almost daily and have been since 2004.

The coffee that is delivered to the customer is fresh roasted and packaged and the flavour shines through in every cup.  There is NO bitterness.  I have tried their darkest roast, Dark as Dark, and found it smooth, bold, and extremely deeply noted.  But not bitter.  Every coffee drinker knows that bitterness ruins a great cup of coffee.

You will not be disappointed .  Trust me.

As many of you know, I am addicted Blanchard's Ethiopian Harrar: This is a medium roast, 100% Arabica Bean coffee. Everything you love about trail mix, now in liquid form! A smooth, balanced coffee with notes of dried cherries, milk chocolate, ripe blueberries, and just a touch of salt. A discerning palate might also pick up some red hot cinnamon hidden away
.

Oh, where to start? The first thing I picked out was the Blueberry and Chocolate notes... then, at the end, the finish of cinnamon.

Hi, I'm Terri.  Will blog for coffee.

Yes, I do drink and enjoy other coffees.  I will not deny it.  Occasionally, I DO run out of my Blanchard's or I'm at a place where I have to drink something else.  But I always come back to my one true love.

Give Blanchard's a try -- and you will not be disappointed.  And you will never be truly satisfied with anything else ever again.  Ask me how I know.

Blanchard's Coffee Review & Giveaway Ends 10/16/11

Ya'll know I'm a coffee addict -- fiend -- aficionado. ;D

I love to find and experience new coffees whenever I can! Recently, I had the great pleasure of finding Blanchard's Coffee.

Blanchard's Coffee is wonderful. They demand freshness and  roast their beans daily. Roasting in small batches, they measure freshness in days, not weeks or months!

Blanchard's Coffee company is an independent, family-owned coffee roastery in Richmond, VA. We roast almost daily and have been since 2004. Below you'll find a list of the folks who serve up our coffee. We also ship just about anywhere, so our online shop should be your next destination. Drink up, bee buzzed.

I was blessed to receive two bags of fresh ground coffee: Fair Trade Organic, Ethiopian Harrar.
Everything you love about trail mix, now in liquid form! A smooth, balanced coffee with notes of dried cherries, milk chocolate, ripe blueberries, and just a touch of salt. A discerning palate might also pick up some red hot cinnamon hidden away.

and Swiss Water Processed Brazilian Decaf.
Decaffeinated by a mysterious process involving reverse osmosis and other stuff we don't really understand. The end result iis one of the purer-tasting decafs you'll have this lifetime. Drink up, guiltlessly!

Very different coffees! The Ethiopian Harrar is richly textured with flavour. The notes of chocolate and blueberry are deep and true. Thoroughly enjoyable and absolutely PERFECT for cooler weather! If you like to camp out -- this is a great "wake me up" coffee!

For softer notes and a quiet evening, I love the Swiss Water Processed Brazilian Decaf. This is a milder roast, a hint of chocolate, and decaf for de-stressing! This is such a lovely mild coffee and absolutely no bitterness at all.

Blanchard's Coffee offers so much: Brasilian Cerrado, Indian Monsooned Malabar, Espresso Blend, Metroplex, Swiss Water Processed Peruvian Decaf, and more! There is a coffee for every taste.

Blanchard's Coffee surprised me. It really did. I knew that I'd get good coffee -- but I didn't expect to receive such amazingly GREAT coffee! It's obvious that this company takes great pride in their product and in their service. The packaging alone suggests they put great thought in to keeping the coffee as fresh as possible.

The taste -- how do you describe perfection? Every single note is brilliant. No harshness, no bitterness, no after-tastes. Each cup is enjoyable from start to finish.

Blanchard's Coffee also makes seriously delicious iced coffee. I've made it that way several times now. The sugar and cream does not in any way dilute or diminish the flavour of the coffee itself. Seriously... who needs an expensive coffee shop?

The folks at Blanchard's Coffee love to connect with their customers and friends. Please join them of their Facebook Page and @drinkblanchards on Twitter.

The folks at Blanchard's Coffee want to share their wonderful coffees with you and have generously offered one of my lucky readers a chance to win two bags of coffee and a T-Shirt!
