It's been a very long time since I've had a good cup of coffee. Living in a small town in Indiana, the availability of a good coffee is very limited. So, of course that translates to me buying coffee off of the internet. I've gotten a few good roasts, but it seems like I must have been looking in the wrong places. You see, I was losing a little faith in coffee being able to taste good without needing tweaks or additional things. Then, something great happened. I received my gift from this exchange.

I opened the package to find two bags of whole bean coffee from Old Wwworld Cafe, which is a small roaster out of South Carolina (www.theoldworldcafe.com). The first bag is a Mokha Java blend, which is what was recommended to me based on what I wrote, and the second is a Biscotti Blend, which is a breakfast type of coffee. I went ahead and decided to try out the Mokha Java. Immediately smelled amazing in whole bean form, while after grinding it has a nice natural smell to it, not overly processed or anything. Smells like coffee, which is something rather hard to come by anymore. Brewed up a single cup out of my drip coffee maker (I know, I know, I should get a french press) and waited.

Oh my. THIS is what coffee is supposed to taste like. It almost takes me back to the time I first enjoyed coffee without sugar. It's a earthy, smooth taste with an almost sweet undertone to it. Absolutely amazing. I haven't tried the Biscotti blend yet, but I most certainly will be soon.

I am so thankful to this redditor for introducing me to this coffee, and thankful to Reddit as well because without this exchange I doubt this guy from Indiana would have discovered this delicious coffee from South Carolina. Thank you :)
