Go Green: Drink Organic Bean Gourmet Coffee!

By Thomas Salatto


Whenever I think about giving someone a really special Christmas gift, I first ask myself: do they drink coffee? If the answer is yes, I typically try to go for buying them a bag of specialty gourmet coffee beans. If you are a coffee drinker than you probably know you can never have too much coffee! Also, I find edible gifts to be some of the favorite gifts around.

There are several gourmet coffees that are meant to be served black. A few very special ones come to mind: Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, Kona Coffee, and Kopi Luwak coffee. First off, is Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. It is some of the most exclusive coffee in the world and therefore quite expensive to purchase. The Jamaican Blue Mountain region is small, and therefore quite sought after. The high Caribbean mountain area has the perfect climate from growing some of the most delicious coffee in the world. The result is beans that are known for their very smooth and mild flavour, absence of any bitterness or dreaded off-putting notes.

For instance, Starbuck's are around every corner and go through millions of coffee beans - are they truly considered gourmet? I'm not sure on that one, but I do love a good Starbuck's drink regardless if they are considered gourmet or not.

Another specialty coffee store that any west coast person loves is Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. Now, I found something so addicting and wonderful about them. I would walk to work from the parking garage everyday when I worked in downtown Los Angeles. On the way I would notice the Coffee Bean store. I usually stopped in for a morning Mocha, Cappuccino or Chai Tea. I feel like they truly do offer a wonderful selection of specialty gourmet coffee.

Yes, you read that right. The Civet animal, which is very rodent-like, eats the coffee then passes it out in its feces. Although, it eats the beans they are passed through the digestive tract whole and come out, just as they went in. The Civet eats all types of beans for your drinking pleasure:

Personally, I know a lot of Topeca coffee fanatics. They say once you try their coffee, you will never drink another brand. I have not tried it yet, but I'm looking forward to trying it soon.

Many people will agree that organic is better for the health, and when trying to be more health-conscious in any shape or form, drinking organic coffee on a daily basis can definitely help that goal! As New Year's is right around the corner, I think my delicious resolution may be to start drinking organic gourmet coffee!
