My Thoughts

 I have to have my morning coffee. I just can't get started in the morning without it. I used to get coffee from a coffee house every morning. Now that I'm a stay at home mom, I have to brew my own. It's not easy to get a decent cup of coffee at home. Store bought usually tastes like water or mud. I never imagined I could find quality coffee online, until I tried the gourmet blends available from Grace Hightower. This is great coffee that sells for a very reasonable price, and it will guarantee every cup you pour is perfection.

For my review, I received  the whole bean Signature Series coffee. As soon as I opened the bag, the scent was intoxicating. I think I was drooling a little when I was done grinding it.  I love my coffee strong and this blend definitely gives you that rich, bold flavor. Its just what you need to get started in the morning, but can also be used for an evening cup of coffee because its so full of flavor.  It had an amazing aroma while brewing, and tasted even better than I expected. You are definitely not going to find coffee this good at  your local grocery store or even at a high priced coffee house!

The best thing about Grace's coffee is that she keeps it simple. They have only four blends to choose from, instead of a hundred coffees with different names that all taste the same. Their packaging is simple but classy. And their custom blends guarantee the perfect cup every time. If you are a gourmet coffee lover who is tired of all the hype and who just wants a really good cup of coffee, Grace Hightower De Niro & Coffees of Rwanda is definitely the company for you.
