It’s no secret, that I am addicted to coffee! I’m also drinking more tea! So, I’ve decided to regularly feature some of the best coffee, tea, coffee and tea accessories, coffee and tea machines, etc. on a regular basis.

Golden Ratio roasts their beans at lower temperatures, giving you a gold colored coffee that's 5x less acidic and tastes closer to tea. Their golden milk flavor pairs turmeric, black pepper, and vanilla flavors for a smooth, mellow flavor and a subtle spicy note at the end. Shop: Drinkgoldenratio.com

Batch Coffee Subscription
Batch coffee is a specialty coffee subscription service that showcases the very best coffee around the world roasted by independent coffee roasters. Although the larger more established roasteries are easy to find online and on social media, the smaller micro-roasters with little budget for marketing are a little harder to sniff out. Which is where we come in. Whether you’re new to the world of specialty coffee or you’re a seasoned veteran, you will appreciate trying two coffees at once to be able to compare flavors and attributes alongside each other. Which is why we send you two different coffees in our subscription box. It is how the professionals compare coffee in coffee tasting competitions and it is how we like to enjoy our coffee. The coffees that we send out to our customers are selected from the ever-growing archive of reviewed coffees here at Batch. We receive coffees to review which are then sampled, slurped, sipped and then rated. We then carefully select the very best which we pair together to complement each other.
