I've come a long way from the days when coffee existed in my world simply as an aid in the production of lengthy college essays, creative writing assignments, and legal briefs. Now, coffee is a ritual for me - a morning opening - and a commitment to approaching the day with a clear and open mind. The aromas represent potential, and the combination of spice and fruit notes evoke the many delicious and unique flavor experiences I will have through beverage and food for the rest of the day. Finally, after all the years of imbibing, and all the years of writing, I want to combine the two more regularly on the blog (it doesn't hurt that coffee beer and coffee liqueurs are some of my favorite things).
