my friend david rier of thomas hammer coffee in spokane washington sent a very lovely carepackage over today.  some nice thomas hammer swag, as well as a pound of the infamous white zombie.  HOLY COW.  it is WAY lighter than i ever expected it to be, and thankfully it comes preground so we don’t have to worry about running it through our grinders.  it’s a very earthy and herbal kind of taste.  drinking it straight reminds me of the smell of roasting coffee…which i never thought about drinking and now that i have, i’m not so into it.  tim and i both tried it and we can definitley feel the higher caffeine content, which is interesting.  we also tried it in a chocolate milk mocha with a little bit of vanilla.  that seems to work pretty well, and it tastes not unlike something you would find in a health food store.  with a little more vanilla and a thicker milk it would be similar to spirutein or something along those lines. 

not something i could consider drinking everyday, but a super unique experience that i’m glad david shared with me.
