For many
long time residents of the Greater Sacramento area, Denio's Roseville Farmers Market & Swap Meet is a great place to find hidden
treasures or enjoy fresh produce from area farmers. Now if you wander
through the small farmer's market, you will come across a small shop
called Coffee and Collectibles. Among the large mason jars of
aromatic loose leaf tea blends, exotic spices, and sultry herbs there
is a collection of various ground coffees they also have available.
Strolling
through the selection, I came across some Tanzania Peaberry which I
had never heard of before. Taking a whiff of the aroma, I noticed the
sweet floral notes but there was something else about it that grabbed
my attention so I purchased a couple of ounces and brought it home,
sticking it into my own mason jar for safe keeping and to ensure
freshness. Once home, I brewed up a pot of my newest acquisition and
noticed that the scent of the coffee was relatively light compared to
most coffees I've tried out. The flavor, I discovered, was relatively
mellow with hints of sweetness with almost faint chocolate notes to
it. Another interesting thing I need to note is that there is almost
no aftertaste at all. It's rather smooth on the tongue and I have yet
to taste any bitterness to it what so ever. Certainly a surprise
since I was prepared for something to grab those back tastebuds.
For
those of you who are willing to venture to Denio's, while strolling
through the farmers market, don't forget to take a peek at Coffee
and Collectibles. Everything is sold by the ounce and is of good
quality so is well worth the time.
