Joffrey's Coffee Looks for a Jolt from the Blogosphere


What a week. When you start working after interviewing from the couch for 3 months, the transition is drastic. One huge change is my rate of personal coffee consumption. Interviewing from the couch required one cup in the morning, followed by a series of green tea jolts for the incremental yet healthy boost of alertness.

So I received my blogger java beta test sample of Jamaican Me Crazy coffee from Joffrey's Coffee & Tea Company, and I am chugging it right this second. Jamaican Me Crazy is ground from caramel, vanilla and coffee liquer flavored Arabica coffee beans and though I am not at all a fan of flavored coffees, the coffee is MUY FUERTE -which is a crucial characteristic in my book.

Joffrey's is based in Tampa, Florida. I love that they have reached out to caffeine-fueled bloggers, hackers and entrepreneurs for this promotion. Smart word of mouth tactic. Vee see vat happens.
