The Coffee that won my heart!

If you know anything about me, you'd know that I've never been a fan of the dark, steamy, MUST-HAVE-AS-SOON-AS-I-WAKE-OR-I-WILL-KILL-YOU drink... I've never understood people who can speak about it for hours on end, and I've always been bored out of my mind whenever the husbando decided that 'Coffee Shop Hopping" would be the outing for the day. UNTIL...


Yup, there was an 'oh wait, I get it now' moment for me, OR pregnancy just changed me. LOL.


The moment of all moments was in the beginning of this year, whilst away at the Sea for my other half's (euw) birthday weekend. It all started at a teeny tiny, BEAUTIFUL, little shop in a teeny tiny, BEAUTIFUL, little town called Paternoster.


My mom, who aids my husbands addiction actually spotted (or rather, was led by the delicious smell) to these beans on the shelves of a quaint, stone-shed-type of store. Knowing that Mish was out of coffee (ON HIS BIRTHDAY WEEKEND NO LESS) she decided to purchase a couple of bags, as his gift.


It turns out, this was the gift that kept on giving, because did we not ALL finish the bags before the weekend ended?! Yup... We did. Sorry babe.


This rich, deep, berry-like drink captured my attention and was just what I needed after a series of sleepless nights. Each sip leaving behind a chocolatey decadence, which lingers on your tastebuds, until your next fix.


Even though this might've converted me, I'm still not entirely passionate about hot drinks; so I definitely love mine to be ICE, ICE cold. Almost as icey as Vanilla Ice's tips.


Whilst I am not entirely sure on the correct method of which this is meant to be brewed (the packaging could use a biiit more info) - we've found that brewing these 100% Arabica Beans on our stove-top Mocha Pot is the perfect way for us.


If you love coffee, love supporting local, and want to put my words to the test, head on over to BeanCo's Facebook Page (their website seems to be having a few niggly issues) and purchase a bag of #49 - which may be its' name...


But it's for sure #1 in my heart.


(Oh... We went back to the teeny tiny, BEAUTIFUL little town for my birthday weekend, just to buy some more!) x
