"Rather, I'm talking about a year-round staple beverage that many of us - myself included - can't fathom life without. You guessed it: coffee. As a former barista with over a decade of coffee experience under my belt, I really couldn't live without my morning bean juice, and I'll snag any and every opportunity to sample the hottest coffees on the market."
"Fortunately, there's no one-size-fits-all holiday coffee blend, and notes can range from dark cocoa to peppermint and even bright, acidic fruit. Some holiday coffee blends will be flavored, while others will rely solely on the beans to express holiday appeal. I've rounded up some of the best holiday whole-bean coffee blends to gift to your favorite coffee lover this season and, after trying them all myself, I can confidently say that each will serve a different type of consumer - all, however, are lovely."
A former barista with over a decade of experience emphasizes a strong personal reliance on morning coffee and frequent tastings of top coffees. The focus is on whole-bean holiday blends intended as gifts. Holiday blends vary widely in flavor: some are flavored with notes like peppermint or dark cocoa, while others showcase the bean's origin, offering bright, acidic fruit profiles. Matching a recipient's preferred flavor profile to the blend improves gifting success. Some recommendations stem from firsthand impressions and manufacturer-provided samples. Regent Coffee's holiday blend features Ethiopia Yirgacheffe beans and delivers sharp, fruity acidity that can surprise holiday drinkers.
