I've become a coffee connoisseur of sorts and over the years which has made me pretty picky about my brew. Which is why I am SO excited.  True Coffee is the BEST coffee subscription I’ve ever tried. 

What I love is that each bag of coffee is freshly roasted with precision and care. And, each shipment comes with a summary card explaining the story behind each bag of coffee.

As most of you know we adopted Shea from Ethiopia in 2010 at the age of 4. After spending time in his birth country I was fortunate to meet all kinds of amazing local farmers. Their passion for their crops really made me appreciate the value of being able to choose where I spend my hard-earned dollars. I left the country promising to always seek out organizations and companies that aligned with my values of giving back and True Coffee Company definitely won me over in this area.

The single-origin Kenyan coffee was my hands-down favorite with its vividly bright and fruity characteristics. I know this description is typical of African coffees but even so, this coffee is anything but typical. There's distinct crispness to this coffee that denotes an authenticity found only in the best beans. The tasting notes speak of a rounded acidity which is also true to form. The single-origin Costa Rican coffee from the coveted Tarrazu region was also a delicious treat with its rich dark chocolaty undertones complemented by a subtle grape jam flavor. This made for an outstandingly complex yet balanced taste. There's something to be said of being able to combine two flavors that occupy different ends of the flavor spectrum into a such a unified taste. Lastly, we have their Honduran bean which had a smooth combination of chocolaty and citrus notes.

To me, the important takeaway from this is that all three were winners. Maybe it was just “coincidence”. But in my opinion, the more likely answer is just that True Coffee Company produces impeccably high quality coffee across the board worthy of the awards they've already won.

True Coffee is one of those companies that's easy to support as they embody the spirit of a ‘true' specialty coffee company. From their commitment to sustainable growth and fair trade practices to their professional packaging and unmatched micro-lot beans, these folks clearly know what they're doing. What a pleasure it was to enjoy a top-notch product from a company doing top-notch good in the world. The name of their company couldn't be any more fitting.
