Johnson Brothers Coffee Roasters

I stumbled upon the Johnson Brothers Breakfast Blend while dining last week at Sunprint Cafe in downtown Madison. It was, quite simply, one of the best breakfast blends I've ever experienced. Light, aromatic, smooth and somewhat citrusy, it was delicious. I highly recommend this. For some reason, the breakfast blend is not available on their website, but you can contact Alex, their sales guy, and he can hook you up.

Starbucks Gazebo blend

The Gazebo Summer Blend from Starbucks is advertised as being ideal for iced coffee , but it makes a tasty daily brew. It is moderately strong, but crisp. It has a light citrus/fruity undertone. I would describe this as medium acidity. On a side note, Starbucks Via came out with instant iced coffee. It is the same Via system, but the instant iced coffee is the coffee crystals plus added sugar. It is highly delicious.
