About a year or so ago I subscribed to the site Mambo Sprouts. I love this site, all the products they promote are natural, organic products. In the past it has been hard to find these type of products but this site really helps in the search.
A few months back I received an e-mail asking if I would be willing to do product reviews; I accepted. The first product sent to me was Equal Exchange Coffee. Equal Exchange is a fair trade, organic coffee. I tried the coffee the other day and was quite pleased. I tend to be very picky about what coffee I drink because, quite frankly, many are just gross.
When I opened the bag I loved the smell which, to me, had a bit of a chocolate overtone. The brewing instructions said 1-2 tablespoons per 6oz of water. I did 1 1/2 tablespoons and would definitely recommend the full 2 tablespoons if you're using milk as mine was a bit weak. I do have a sensitivity to caffeine so I made sure to drink this early in the day. Again, I was pleasantly surprised to find that while I did get caffeine energy I did not get jittery from the caffeine.
All in all, this coffee was a good choice. In taste, it was comparable to the coffee I normally purchase but the fact that it is fair trade and organic definitely bumps it up to one that I would purchase and encourage others to purchase.
**Disclaimer: I received this coffee free from the product review program thru Mambo Sprouts & Equal Exchange. The opinions expressed are soley mine and I was not encouraged to give a positive or negative review.

My new adventure...
I was tapping out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and realized just how much work this will be but I'm looking forward to finally taking on this dream.
