Ethiopia Sidamo: coffee that tastes like strawberries and cream

a cup of ethiopia sidamo at gladstone coffee

Yesterday I picked "Ethiopia Sidamo" from the thermal pot at my fave local coffee shop, on a whim. I almost never go with the boring, ordinary Colombian house blend. Sometimes I'm wowed by my alternative selection, other times it's just coffee.

Color me wowed. I can't get enough of this stuff. It tastes like berries. No lie. And I'm sure you're thinking, coffee that tastes like berries? I totally passed that raspberry-flavored stuff up in the coffee aisle at my grocery store. But this is more a terroir thing (do they call it terroir in coffee?). The coffee beans, they're not that different from grapes, after all. Roasting brings out these amazingly complex and, yes, fruity flavors. According to the roaster, Stumptown Coffee, "The cup is Neopolitan ice cream... Intense chocolate, strawberry and creamy vanilla flavors in every sip." Plus it's organic and fair-trade and ohmigod I am so in love with this coffee. I wish I could give you a taste, you'd never be the same.

Carrot cake cappuccino: not meant to be

Some drinks are just not meant to be. Witness the Carrot Cake Cappuccino. This drink, created by Bob Blumer of the Surreal Gourmet, is a combination of spiced, thickened carrot juice with sugar, oil and cream added to it and topped with foam. Very fortunately, Mr. Blumer did not combine cream cheese with the foam for some sort of frosting. Aside from appearing on the menu at Alinea for the sake of being innovative or just plain strange, I am not sure that there are too many venues for this particular beverage. I'd rather have a real cappuccino and a slice of carrot cake.
