Does it even get hot enough up there in Winnipeg to drink iced coffee, Sparrow?

Bag says "Not less than 10% Kona." It's just Private Selection from Kroger.

I've never tried chilling a hot tea. I'll have to give that a shot. Just picked up a pomegranate tea, as well.

That's a tricky slope there, fooman. Pure marketing.

Word. I'm new to picking coffees, and there isn't a lot of whole bean choice in the area.

Counter Culture are your neighbors to the north. You should see if any coffeeshops local to you are serving that stuff up.
You could always do mail order as well.

So, I'm gonna plug this website:
http://macislandcoffee.com/It's owned and operated by a local dude here in Denton, who also happens to have done a ton for the music scene around here.
The coffee is awesome and you can subscribe or get it mailed to you.
All proceeds are donated to local charity.
Like, it's a really great thing overall.

Man, they discontinued my favorite tea for chilling. huehue
"Alpine Flowers" was all light and fruity (huehue) and was like drinking an ice cold meadow when cold.
Serve it up with a warm blueberry pie. nomnom.

Just received my Hario coffee mill slim grinder and a Hario V60 Glass Dripper. Now it's time to order some Yirgacheffe. This will be my attempt at brewing the perfect cup of coffee. It'll be an exciting trial I tell ya. Water will be boiled to 195-205 deg. Just not too sure yet how to achieve the 18-24% extraction. I'm gonna have to spoil myself before the entire gene population becomes extinct. Lol

Awesome. Yirgacheffe is my all time favourite. With a paper filter I usually brew 22g of beams to 330 ml water to get one cup. I'm not sure it's optimal but it's getting there.
Am currently at the maternity ward and they have an awesome coffee machine. None of this fake "oh look you can see beans and hear them grinding so it must be better right?" shit, just 100% pure black as tar rocket fuel that pours an entire cup as soon as you push the button. Not sure if it is lack of sleep or lack of alternatives but I freaking love it. Going to get some right now in fact.

Not sure I knew that. I'm pretty partial to coffees from Ethiopia and Kenya myself.

A crucial piece of machinery in a place like that.
