Unfortunately, the links don't work and there was no answer at the phone number...also no avail when googling. Are they still in business? Let me know if there's been a takeover (hostile or otherwise) of the roaster! :-)<br /><br />Pax, JonJon Bakkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513172813708585923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22781533.post-12210857157938817432008-10-04T20:17:00.000-05:002008-10-04T20:17:00.000-05:00Agreed.

I'm not ready to order a few pounds to keep the shipping to a minimum but they sent me a free half pound of Yigarcheffe. It was roasted perfectly (not too dark). Peaberry is probably great too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reference.

Exquisite...smooth, rich, with a little bit of a highlight at the end of each sip.<BR/><BR/>I am looking forward to trying the others and will certainly be reordering. <BR/><BR/>Jazz...yep. French...<I>oui</I>...which sounds a bit like "way" in the the South (of France, that is).<BR/><BR/>But I am afraid it will only be a shadow of the real thing. Nonetheless it will have to do until I should experience it all first hand.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the recommendation and happy to hear others are ordering.Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08511317203353075644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22781533.post-48713053981473430982008-09-27T10:49:00.000-05:002008-09-27T10:49:00.000-05:00Dear Dixie:Mrs. Hollywood just got back from the F...Dear Dixie:<BR/><BR/>Mrs. Hollywood just got back from the Farmer's Market, and the Daldegan family mentioned your order, and your link to Father Hollywood. They said they knew something was up when they got a sudden spike in orders!<BR/><BR/>They reported that they got the website fixed up right away, (it became a high priority in a hurry) and are busily shipping orders.<BR/><BR/>I've tried a few of the other blends at the Market (they have samples), and they're all top-notch. It just depends on your individual taste. The best way to figure out what you like is to come to New Orleans, take the ferry to Gretna, and hit the Farmer's Market on a Saturday morning (it's very cool - we even have a band playing everything from folk, rock, country, jazz, and cajun while you sample salsa and sausage, pick out peppers, and even get your scissors sharpened (with lots of happy dogs and children scurrying around).<BR/><BR/>But, if that's not practical, I would take a look at Beans' website's description of the various coffees and take a risk. It will be a safe risk, though.<BR/><BR/>I hope you enjoy your coffee! If you like, as you sip it, put on a little jazz music, turn the heat up, hang a fleur-de-lis on the wall, talk like you're from Brooklyn (but be sure to say "y'all), and toss in a French word now and then - and you can experience a little New Orleans vicariously, dawlin.Rev.

Peet's still maintains a high quality bean unlike its frappocinoed competitor from Seattle.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, your link to Bean's generates a 404 error.WM Cwirlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12317197804776939257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22781533.post-78261341186572328372008-09-23T06:11:00.000-05:002008-09-23T06:11:00.000-05:00Very interesting...thanks for the reference.

And Kona...but we only get that occasionally due to the cost. We have tried Tanzanian peaberry from another coffee house and it had an after taste that didn't suit us. However, I am willing to try again and will order some from Bean's. Any other variety(ies) you would recommend?Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08511317203353075644noreply@blogger.com
