Let Gourmet Coffee Catering Do All The Work For You!

By Emily Thomas


When looking for and talking about "The Best Gourmet Coffee" that is a tough subject, because truly it is quite subjective. Some people may find a hearty, robust blend to be the best choice, while others prefer a lighter and flavored blend of beans.

Another great thing about giving this gift is the number of choices you have at your fingertips. If you go to your local mom and pop coffee shop, Starbucks, Java Dave's, Whole Foods or Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf you are sure to find a plethora of delicious blends and beans right at your fingertips.

The company showed up to my event and sat up everything. They provided more than enough coffee, tea, iced tea and hot apple cider. All the ladies at the luncheon raved how wonderful it was to have a selection of delicious beverages available, the favorite being the delicious hot beverages.

One coffee that comes to mind when talking about the best is Kopi Luwak. This is a rare coffee that is digested by an Asian Palm Civet and the beans are passed through its digestive system. Once the beans have passed they are harvested from the feces, washed, dried and roasted. It is told that this coffee production, produces a very delicious blend of coffee without the bitterness.

This year, as Christmas is right around the corner, I'm making small gourmet coffee gift baskets for my friends and some close co-workers. I went to the dollar store and found some great wicker baskets.

I fill the baskets with a pound of coffee, some sweet treats such as biscotti or caramel candles, and include a $5 gift card to a local coffee shop. It makes a great gift wrapped up with pretty paper and a bow on top! It also looks like a I spent a lot of money and time to make these, and that makes me feel good.

The world of gourmet coffee also makes wonderful Christmas gifts. One of the best gifts I ever received was from a darling coworker, and it was a large coffee-themed gift basket. I loved it! It had an adorable espresso set, biscotti and gourmet coffee blends all nestled in a cute wicker basket. The world of this type of gift giving is endless! Even a simple gift card to Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, or a mom and pop type coffee shop is perfect for the holiday season.
