Hello, my name is Di and I am a coffee addict, so is my husband 🙂
Now that I have gotten my confession out of the way, I can tell you about the fabulous coffee from Equal Exchange that we had the pleasure of trying.
First a little about this great company: Equal Exchange has created Big Change since 1986. Our founders envisioned a food system that empowers farmers and consumers, supports small farmer co-ops, and uses sustainable farming methods. They started with fairly traded coffee from Nicaragua and didn’t look back. Today, we continue to find new and powerful ways to build a better food system. We partner with co-operatives of farmers who provide high-quality organic coffees, teas, chocolates, bananas and snacks from all over the world.
The first coffee we tried was the Organic French Roast:
Aroma: smoky, vanilla, almond butter
Flavor: balanced, sweet, dark chocolate, smoky, caramelized sugar
Acidity: delicate
Aftertaste: prolonged, bittersweet chocolate
Flavor: balanced, cocoa, caramelized sugar, malt
Mouthfeel: weighty and thick
Acidity: light sparkle
Aftertaste: dark chocolate, walnut, brown sugar
The name intrigued us, as did the “chocolate notes” in the description, so I was definitely looking forward to this one. It definitely had the chocolate notes and out of the two of the coffee’s we tried, I prefer this one. Hubby likes the French Roast better, but we both agree that they were both delicious.
If you would like to purchase products that are Fair Trade & Organic (100% fair trade, not just a small token amount), direct from small farmers, you can purchase them directly from Equal Exchange at shop.equalexchange.com or via natural foods stores throughout the country.
