In Which I Try The Drip

I'm usually an espresso guy - I like the quick small shots and the sweet crema on the top. On warm days I'll back it up to an iced Americano, but it's a rare occasion I go for the drip. After learning a little bit about Caravan's Organic Sumatra Gayo Mountain, though, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and enjoy a cuppa today.

What a treat! I found the iced version so intriguing that I went back for a hot cup just to check it out a little more closely. This coffee is nutty and bright with just the slightest hint of tartness. The flavor is light and even, and the aroma is ephemeral enough to disappear almost completely after each sip. As it cools, this coffee becomes more savory without ever being overwhelming.

The shop is lively today with laptoppers and readers. Sipping my coffee I, could've sworn I even overheard a political joke or two. I'm surprised at the depth and color I found in my mug today, but not surprised at the welcoming vibe I continue to find here at Morning Fix.
