Muddy Waters--Crossroads

   And I'm back again with a cup of coffee from the fabulous Muddy Waters Coffee Co.! How lovely does that look up there? Straight from the coffee pot... well, straight from the freezer, but that was right after it came straight from the coffee pot! Obviously I had added my 3 creamers in there. I believe you can actually see that it's got frozen bits in there. Talk about delicious! This cup did not last long. Hence the reason why I've typed a paragraph quicker than a frog after a cricket!

  The last coffee I introduced to you was the deep, strong Blues Blend. This happens to be the Crossroads Blend. Here's an interesting tale straight from Muddy Waters about this particular blend:

  " Continuing our homage to the roots of blues, we developed this blend in honor of the mythic Robert Johnson. The sweet undertones of El Salvador mingle with the woody accents of the Ethiopia and the spicy hints of the Peru inside the full body of Sumatra and Colombia. The widely-ranging roasts combine to make a dynamic, hearty cup of coffee that starts bold and sings on the palate."

  Upon first taste, my first thought was nutty! Crossroads tastes very nutty/earthy to me, without the creamer that is. Creamer tones it down some and that's why I only add 1-3 creamers (those tiny ones) when I drink Crossroads. Other coffees tend to get up to 5 creamers from me, but I really like the actual taste of Crossroads. It's a unique, incredible blend, but not so unique that it wouldn't be a pleasure on the tastebuds of any coffee lover. 

  As the description mentions, this coffee does have a slight spice to it and it's immediately noticeable. I've never tasted a coffee that had a spicy taste to it, but I'm finding that this seems to be my favorite of all. I love the rich and bold flavor of the Blue's Blend, but Crossroads has really got a hold on me!

   
  Crossroads is the package in the front in a green colored pack. 

  I think Blue's Blend is quite a bit stronger than Crossroads and slightly more acidic. I actually would almost say Crossroads has a some sweetness to it. The earthy and nutty taste is soft and recognizably delicious!

    Muddy Waters has an amazing selection of high quality coffee. Be sure to check them out and share with me, what is your favorite Muddy Water blend? I'd love your recommendations/experience!
