Humure

is our new favorite breakfast coffee. It's from Counter Culture and in addition to having a great story, the coffee itself is excellent. We always look forward to trying new beans and the best part of a new shipment is that first moment when we cut open a fresh bag and breathe deep. Great coffee beans have an incredible aroma. They transport you to another place and wrap you up in their essence. Coffee is so much more than a caffeinated hot liquid, for us it encapsulates that feeling of easing into our morning and embracing the day ahead. A good cup is smooth and nuanced, perhaps slightly syrupy on tha palate. We like a morning cup that is bright and flavorful without being overpowering. The first day we brewed the Humure it made me sit up and take notice. I went back into the  kitchen to see which new beans we were drinking because it was so delicious. Every time I drink this coffee I re-experience that moment. It's no easy feat to impress me, especially on a consistent basis and these beans from Rwanda do that. Humure may not be for everyone, coffee is a very subjective thing, although I find that Counter Culture has an incredible range of coffee beans that not only taste good, they also make you feel good about drinking them. What better way to start the day? (And yes, we pay for all of our coffee...)
