Ok…yes…I’m tooting my own horn. Why? Well I was so excited to see yet another great review on our coffee. I do L❤️VE roasting coffee. It’s my quiet time…my “zen” in the morning if you will. It’s a whole ritualistic thing for me. Writing out my orders, weighing the green beans, preparing the roaster and roasting the beans. I spend a lot of time on each batch of coffee I roast. Making sure I take the right amount of time, the right amount of heat and hit the right temperature to make a great tasting cup.

I constantly worry….worry about each roast ensuring I’m managing my roast resulting in a perfect cup for my customers. All my customers…old and new love the taste and have their favorite coffee. It’s a constant worry for me that I’m producing a great cup.

Step in CoffeeKen…click on his name and it will take you to his website.  I met Ken via Twitter a couple of years ago when I first started roasting coffee in New Mexico. CoffeeKen is a “Java junkie, blogger and coffee aficionado”. He’s been passionate about coffee since he was very young and has taken his passion and knowledge and created a great “all about coffee” website to learn about great coffee shops and coffee roasters as well as brewing techniques and best practices to making your morning cup. If you’re a coffee lover and planning a trip, check out his website and see if there are cool coffee stops you can check out on your travels.

Ok…I digress…Recently moving to Arizona, I wanted to meet CoffeeKen and provide him some of my coffee. I was so nervous….I’m basically putting myself out there with someone who’s pretty darn knowledgable about coffee. The one thing I did know about CoffeeKen was he’s a very positive person and if he doesn’t like your coffee…he just won’t write anything about it.

I kept checking his site to see if anything had come up especially on our Turquoise Trail. I know he’s busy and I know he’s reviewing other coffees….but that wasn’t helping my cause. Lol

CoffeeKen’s Review

CoffeeKen texted me a brief note telling me he had a chance to try our Coffee and he loved it. WHEW!!! Heavy sigh of relief. Needless to say he wrote a great review on our Turquoise Trail. Along with the Turquoise Trail, I handed him our Buzz Kill Decaf. I wasn’t sure if he drank decaf…most serious coffee people enjoy the caffeine jolt.

Again, I was excited to receive another note from him letting me know he reviewed the Buzz Kill Decaf. I was very very happy and humbled on the report he delivered on our caffeine free java. With a big smile on my face, here’s an excerpt from his blog. “I was very much skeptical. Imagine my surprise, that when I finally got around to brewing this coffee up, I was completely taken aback by it’s richness in aroma, flavor, and body! Even the acidity was perfect for me!”

I am not a decaf person either, however, this decaf really makes a great cup of coffee. I don’t realize I’m drinking a decaf as you do on most decaffeinated coffee. If you’d like to take the time and read the full review, please click here.

Thank you CoffeeKen for your review…  I am sitting back with a cup and a BIG smile on my face.
