QotD: The Best Blend
What's your favorite blend or brand of coffee or tea?
Being a Louisiana boy, when it comes to coffee I'd prefer to make mine Community Coffee. Preferably their Dark Roast. However here in Lexington I stick with the whole bean Columbian coffee sold and packaged by Kroger.
Until recently, as much as a coffee connoisseur I am, I've been content drinking instant coffee in the mornings. More for the quick convenience than anything. Mind you I don't consider IC to be the same thing as brewed coffee. It's a tasty warm beverage deserving its own category.
This week though I switched back to the real thing: fresh ground beans steeped in my Bodum French press. Man how I missed that rich flavor. It'll be a while before even convenience sends me back to instant.

Another local brand that I like is PJ's, but I can be picky with their roasts. With CC's coffee I'll take whatever I can get, with PJ's I make requests when I have people mail it to me.
And I was born and raised in NOLA. I only left because of Katrina.
