June is a beautiful month, especially the June I fantasize about in February, which does not include hay fever. That is a surprise every year. This June is extra-special because it marks our tenth anniversary. Ten years of roasting, blending, and creating some of the most unique flavors out there! We’re celebrating with cake, and not the ten year old frozen kind. Some of our featured flavors in June:

Strawberry Shortcake

Red Velvet Cake

If you’re a tea drinker too, celebrate the warm weather with a pitcher of Blueberry Lemon Cake iced tea (it’s great hot too).

Blueberry Lemon Cake Rooibos

Usually our customers fall into one of two categories: flavored coffee lovers and flavored coffee haters.  Lucky for you, we try to have something truly special each month for our customers in both camps. For you flavor haters (aka coffee purists,) our brand new anniversary blend is a mix of some of our all-time favorite coffees, or if you’re looking to try something new, give our smoked coffees a try. Smoked the old fashioned way, it is truly in a class of its own. In addition to our original smoked coffee blend, we’re also offering a new, slightly more mellow blend, Cafe Fume.

Although we’re thrilled that purists love the subtle smoke flavor, we also know that our flavor lovers might need something extra to keep their taste buds interested.  For these wild men and women, we’ve made Campfire S’more smoked coffee, Vanilla Bourbon Smoked Coffee, and flavor favorite Maple Bacon smoked coffee.

A decade of playing with coffee and flavor has produced some weird and delicious cult favorites (Jamaican Me Groggy, Zombie Cure, etc). Because we now have over four hundred flavors and we can’t stop experimenting, we regularly change what we offer on our site. Never fear. We can make just about any of your favorite flavors or blends for you year-round. Just call and ask!

How would you characterize your relationship with coffee, on a scale from casual to dependent?

Extremely dependent! I am not functional until my first cup of coffee has been consumed.

What kind of coffee do you usually drink?

I usually drink Dunkin Donuts coffee at home.

How would you describe a really good cup of coffee?

Strong but not too dark, makes me slightly sweaty and tingly and excited to be alive. The world is full of endless possibilities.

What are you drinking today, and how did you brew it?

I drank Chocolate Whiskey, freshly ground and brewed in a Cuisinart coffee maker at home.

What else is in your cup? Cream? Sugar? Details, please:

My coffee is mixed with two sugars and fat-free half and half.

In your own words, describe the aroma & flavor:

Robust, subtly flavored, rich, nutty and scrumptious.

In your opinion, what would this coffee pair well with?

I was actually surprised that the flavor was not so strong that it would be more of an after dinner coffee. It is delicious with a breakfast pastry or something sweet.

Would you enjoy drinking this again?

I plan on drinking it every day! It is versatile, rich, bold and not too dark or light. It got the job done and was very pleasurable. My taste buds and my caffeine dependent body were dually satisfied.
