You keep mentioning Peet’s Coffee Tea and Spices, so here is a story.

Back before the ’seven day war’ in the Mideast, I shopped at Peet’s in Berkeley, CA. He always had good stuff, and the prices were affordable. I recall my like for his mocha java [presumably a blend of mocha coffee and java coffee - not coffee with chocolate flavor]. One day, I bought an bag of whole beans which was put inside another bag, stuffed into my backpack, and then bicycled home. I put the backpack down inside my room and within a minute the whole room smelled of that wonderful coffee. It tasted like heaven, and lifted my spirits the same way.

Coffee is one of those gifts that keeps on givin' throughout the day. Or, as is the case with the coffee of the month subscription I got for my mom… all year long. International coffee doesn't seem to be any better than “local” blends, but do yourself a favor and try this special mocha. It's worth at least a few sips. Gourmet? You be the bean judge, Roy.
