I have to have my coffee. I just can't get started in the morning without it. But since I'm expecting I can't have any caffeine, so I have to settle for decaf. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a decent cup of decaf coffee? Store bought decaf tastes like water. If you buy premade coffee in a restaurant or convenience store it tastes like mud because its been sitting for hours. I haven't had a decent cup of coffee in almost a year. Until I received a sample of Grounds of Change coffee. This is great organic coffee that sells for a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend it to any coffee lover.
For my review I received the 3 Pack Sampler which includes Peru "Cafe Femenino", Mexico "Chiapas", and First Light Blend, all in decaf. I tried the "Cafe Femenino" first. Did you ever open a pack of coffee and you just knew it was going to be excellent because it smelled so fresh and delicious. I coudn't stop breathing in that amazing scent. I could tell by the dark color and texture that it was as fresh as possible, newly roasted and freshly ground. I had to stand there and watch it brew, feeling my mouth water as I waited for what I knew was going to be the first cup of good coffee I had in ages. And I wasn't disappointed. It was smooth, not bitter at all, and strong enough without being overpowering. Literally, one of the best cups of coffee I've ever made myself at home. I've since tried the other two varieties and found them just as satisfying.
In addition to coffee, Grounds for Change also offers organic teas, hot chocolate, chocolate bars, and more. All for the same reasonable prices. You can find great gifts for friends that include a wide range of their products and even cute little mugs. Or sign up for their coffee of the month club where you're sure to get a sampling of all the varieties they have to offer.
One lucky reader is going to get the chance to try out the same sampler pack that I received from Grounds for Change in either regular or decaf, whole bean or ground. These are not small little one time only samples. They are large 8 oz bags. To enter, please visit Grounds for Change and tell what item you would like to try the most.
