our Fireside FT Blend

What would you recommend for a special weekend morning coffee? Haitian Bleu FT or Sumatra Gayo Mountain FTO, or to give yourself a real treat and go for something exotic like Hawaii Kona Extra Fancy
What's a good after-dinner/dessert coffee? A bolder taste like a Ethiopia Harrar FTO,
Ethiopia Sidamo FTO, or Bolivia FTO
