Spirit of Memphis This blend has a well-rounded body with traces of sweetness, and like its namesake, serves a diverse group of people. Do you have that Elvis Presley style and flair?

In this house we love a dark coffee. I personally must get my hands on J. Brooks Onyx and Bootleg coffee. It must be fresh ground and brewed in a french press to get its true full flavor.  

We drink our J.Brooks Gallant piping hot from the french press. It is delicious black but for me, I like to add a touch of cream. The smell from this bag of beans is intoxicating. When I received the box of coffee beans I closed my eyes and took a deep sniff in. Oh my gosh it's like heaven!!!! The
