the carmel coffee house

last year, daughter #1's job moved her up to monterey county. monterey county is famous for their wine and not so much their coffee, but she has managed to find a few gems up there. the carmel coffee house is one of them. their organic coffee beans are hand roasted in small 25 pound batches, on site. on her last trip back home she brought me a bag of their organic sunrise blend. their website describes it as a balance of light and dark roasted beans. if you are looking for a little bolder taste, this would be a good choice.

did you notice the cute little sea otter on their mug? carmel and monterey are known for their sea otter population. you can see them floating around in their natural habitat up and down the monterey bay.
