Well, this week up at Black Butte Ranch, I had a coffee revelation. Mr. Ambrya forgot to bring our beans, so we had to get some from the general store, and the coffee he got came from the Sisters Coffee Company located in Sisters, OR a few miles from the ranch. They served, hands down, the best mocha I've ever had, and possibly the best plain coffee I've ever had (it's neck-and-neck on that one, the other possibility being some after-dinner coffee I had once at a restaurant in Vancouver, B.C.)
The blend we got was Black Butte Gold and it was marvelous. Rich, not at all acidic, it was so smooth that cream was almost redundant. I was so impressed I had to give this little outfit a public shout-out. If you're willing to mail-order your beans, I would highly recommend them to any coffee connoisseur.
