Jacks Stir Brew Coffee Is Delicious


If you are a coffee drinker I have a great coffee for you.  It's Jack's Stir Brew Coffee.  I happen to love coffee and I'm pretty sure it has every thing to do with the little ritual that I had with my Grandmother when I was a child of drinking a little Sanka and watching the stories (Soaps).  I get a real warm comfort from a good cup of coffee especially when I drink it on the right day at the right time. As an adult  I have been known to call my Grandmother on the phone many days to have a cup of coffee together making the hundreds of mile distance between us seem like nothing.
  I'm pretty sure that this love of coffee is what compelled me a few years ago to Google where to find the best coffee which is how I first discovered Jack's Stir Brew Coffee.  I looked over this list and noticed that one of the places was in New York so I decided to stop by and see how good the coffee really was and guess what?  I loved it.  It was a cold day and the perfect time to sit down and have a cappuccino and  it was delicious.  Right then and there I fell in love and the reason wasn't only because of the taste either.  Jack's Stir Brew is organic and fair trade which is important to me and I then found out that the beans are shade grown (traditional method - taking longer for the full flavor and aroma to develop) and then Jack's stir brew the coffee for even more rich delicious taste.  Whats not to love.  If you're going to drink coffee why not drink a better quality and  less contaminated coffee where the people that are on the production end are being paid a fair price for their work.
Every since I walked into Jack's that day it has been the signature coffee of my home.  The only thing that I do not love about the actual shop is that it is very small with limited seating so I can never find a seat.  I now only go to the shop to buy my bags of coffee. Whenever you buy a large bag you get a free cup of coffee which I just love and you always have a choice of buying the beans whole or having it ground for whatever brewing equipment and filters that you will be using. One the biggest reasons that I decided to do this post is because I just so happened to stop by their site and found out that you can order online now, which I could swear you couldn't do before.  So now that I know everyone will have the ability to purchase the coffee I thought that it was a good time to tell you about my favorite coffee.  The cost is $15.95 for 1lb so use it precisely and remember to enjoy every moment.  
If you have had this coffee before or decide to order it please come back and let me know what you think about it.

Exotic Superfoods Coconut Water !!!!!!


Earlier in my blog I told you about my love of coconut oil and coconut water and professed my love for a particular coconut water brand. That was puppy love because I now have a true love.  A love that I can see myself with for the rest of my life, and his name is EXOTIC SUPERFOODS COCONUT WATER.  This coconut water is so delicious that whenever I cannot get any I just don't drink any coconut water at all.  Part of my health regime this year was seeing an acupuncturist and I found one that I loved as much as I love my new coconut water, as a matter of fact she was the one that introduced me to it.  I learned a lot from her because she had a WHOLE BODY approach with cleaning up your diet and your environment.  I think that I will go into more detail in another post.
Exotic Superfoods Coconut Water is a young Thai , organic, unpasteurized coconut water sold in a frozen state.  It is flash frozen at the site and once it melts has a refrigerator life of only three days.  A 32oz bottle in New York is normally $8.99 or $9.99 depending where you purchase from.  If you're willing to buy a case of 12 you can normally get a 10% discount. They also have a11oz. bottles available as well.  I buy my coconut water locally however they have a site that you can get more information from.  Actually I would encourage you to go to the site to read more information about the company and the  Exotic Superfooods Cocount Story.  Of course this coconut water has the usual properties of coconut water that I love like being high in electrolytes for hydration and naturally sweetened.  Exotic Superfoods Coconut Water does not contain any added sugars, colors, fats.  The taste is so fresh and delicious that I hope you get the opportunity to try it.  If the cost is too steep and you live locally just buy a couple of 11 oz bottles a month.  The 11oz bottle is around $4.99.  If you don't live locally I would suggest getting together with a few friends and going in on a case.
Let me know if you have had the opportunity to try this coconut water.  If so, how did you like it?
