Company: JarBee Coffee
Name: Seattle Blend
Intensity: Dark
Description: Heavy Bodied Blend of Indonesian & Columbian, Dark Roasted.
Purchase: Here
Grind: Auto-drip (was a free sample)
Preparation: http://coffeegeek.com/guides/presspot (20 ounce press pot - 5 minutes)
Amount: 2 Tablespoons
Water: boiling water, electric kettle
Additives: An ounce of half & half
Body: Medium
Smell: Scent of the ground beans is very strong and sharp, brewing mellows the harsh
Taste: strong coffee
After-taste: mild floral aftertaste to come to my attention when the coffee was cool enough to taste
Notes: Adding a ounce of half & half, as is my wont, did not eliminate the floral markers, but did curbstomp the bitterness that crept in as my cup of coffee cooled. Good coffee, but not so awesome that I would expend special effort to acquire.
Rating: 2/3
This was a free sample.

JarBee Coffee Hazelnut & Creme Medium
Company: Jarbee Coffee
Name: Hazelnut & Creme
Intensity: Medium
Description: The sweet, rich, nutty flavor of our Hazelnut & Crème coffee creates an experience second to none! This combination of slow roasted hazelnuts and the flavor of fresh crème blended with our roast-to-order Colombian beans is perfect as a breakfast coffee, middle of the day pick-me-up or an after-dinner dessert. It’s so good, it may just become your favorite new indulgence. Another gourmet flavored coffee from the from JarBee Coffee line.
Purchase: Here
Grind: Auto-drip (because it was a free sample)
Preparation: http://coffeegeek.com/guides/presspot (20 ounce press pot - 5 minutes)
Amount: 2 Tablespoons
Water: Cold water boiled in an electric kettle
Additives: one teaspoon of sugar, and one oz of half & half added after brewing
Body: Light
Smell: Hazelnut scent
Taste: A sweet yet bitter undertone, can't taste the hazelnut
After-taste:
Notes: Of necessity the coffee flavor is mild, the scent of hazelnut strong in the brewed cup, but it seems like the coffee was contaminated with a fruit flavor, raspberry perhaps? This additional flavor detracts from the hazelnut. The creme didn't really help the flavor.
This packet came with an "aroma sampler" of their "white chocolate raspberry truffle," and I am wondering if the sample contaminated the coffee.
