Countless different coffee shops in the Portland, Oregon area can't be wrong. Stumptown Coffee Roasters makes a solid brew that's hard to come by anywhere else. When you get this bag, you will smell everything that they include on the little place card that's slipped into every bag. A lot of coffee roasters say that their coffee tastes like certain things when really each flavor that's involved in the equation is too minor to rise above the rest of the pack.
I had the luxury of trying out their Hair Bender and Guatemala Finca El Injerto - Bourbon blends. Each of these blends is complex enough to rise to the top of your list of favorite types of coffee. You will find that they are complementary to one another, but they have an assortment of differences that are only noticeable to people who have been drinking coffee for several years. This is not necessarily a testament to the high brow nature of Stumpton Coffee Roasters. It's more of an indication of their level of complexity.
As someone who has tested out two of the blends in Stumptown's repertoire, I am left entirely unsatisfied. They have an assortment of other blends in their inventory. If they're anything like what I have tried thus far, which I'm sure they are when you take into Stumptown's obvious dedication to quality, I know that I am in for a treat. I have been left feeling conflicted with each roaster I have the opportunity of reviewing. I want to revisit them time and time again like they're a nice, comfy bed that I don't want to leave the morning after a long night.
Stumptown is no exception. They are one of the best roasters in the nation. It's surprising that much of their popularity is relegated to the northwest part of the country. They do carry their cold brew product in Whole Foods across the country. You have the option of ordering their products off of their website as well. There's no reason that every coffee lover in the country shouldn't have at least one bag of Stumptown sitting next to their coffee maker.
