I ran out of coffee about a week ago. I haven’t been able to “time” my coffee subscription arrivals perfectly yet… (I know, I know… #FirstWorldProblems). To hold me over, I chose a random coffee roaster off the shelves of my local market. Canyon Coffee was a roaster I’ve never seen before on the shelves. I chose beans from Ethiopia as a comparison to other Ethiopian sourced beans.

Opening the bag, I’m greeted with a wonderful fruity aroma. It also has this subtle earthy/nutty aroma that reminds me of typical other similar Ethiopia beans. Making my latte, I taste very subtle fruit and nutty flavors. Each sip also leaves a nice smooth chocolate aftertaste. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up making a 2nd cup. For a literally off the shelf brand, Canyon Coffee is a pleasant surprise.
