Stumptown Coffee is about pleasure. It’s that moment when your hand is warmed by the mug, you bring it up to your nose, inhale deeply and then take a sip. That sip is the culmination of years of work, three-thousand mile journeys, and passion. While you are holding that cup of coffee, close your eyes. Open your mouth slightly. Breathe in deeply through your nose. You are smelling the most complex thing humans consume. When people talk about the flavors of coffee — notes of orange, or hints of clove — it’s because those organic molecules are contained in the coffee bean. If a coffee reminds you of apple pie, it's because coffee shares some of the same components as food, like lactic and malic acid. Inside that small bean are the same natural components that make flowers smell so lovely, the same ethers that let you know when a piece of fruit is ripe. Coffee has twice as much going on, molecularly speaking, as red wine. When tasting coffee, try waiting for it to cool down a little — you’ll be able to taste (and smell) the most when it’s the same temperature as your body.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters sells the most amazing coffee trios. They really do make an excellent gift for that special coffee lover in your life. Or treat yourself and order one just for you. Stumptown sent me their delicious Blend Trio Collection.
Each 1/2 lb bag is whole beans fresh and ready to be ground up into a rich, steamy hot cup of coffee. There is a card tucked snug into a pocket on the front of the bag describing the bean it contains and the story behind it. The

African Trio........Three knockout coffees from the birthplace of coffee. It doesn't get any better than this Ethiopian trio.
Ethiopia Nano Challa ~ Tangerine, Jasmine &Tea This delicate, subtle cup has the brightness of tangerine and jasmine, with a soft, sweet peach-tea finish
Ethiopia Mordecofe ~ Melon, Hops & Black Tea. A gentle round melon with floral lemon and hops, then a warm, vanilla-black tea finish.
Ethiopia Duromina ~ Candied Citrus, Honey & Melon. The sweet-tart notes of candied citrus bursts against a backdrop of honey and melon.
