Oh glorious splendor! I have been anticipating your arrival for weeks and was so thrilled to finally be able to meet you. So many people have been telling me wonderful things about your high-quality characteristics. First of all, I was impressed with your luscious taste and tangy savor. Next, when the juiciness faded away, it was appealing to encounter your complex hints of cocoa. I enjoyed your complexity and the fact that you are very settled in your ways. Obviously you are a coffee that has been perfected. Although expensive, you are worth the wait and worth the time it took to find you. Even though you're in high-demand, I hope that you will take the time to know me better.
Forever grateful,
Me
P.S. You really don't need to pair up with anything, but if you must, try a Godiva Orange Milk Chocolate Lollipop.
Stephanie: Here's a story I wrote on the Twyman family's Old Tavern coffee plantation at 4,000 feet nestled in the clouds of the Blue Mountains. Old Tavern is considered the finest of all the Blue Mountain coffees: http://roberthart.com/blog/old-tavern-coffee-grown-in-the-clouds-of-jamaicas-blue-mountains/

it was the Dutch who first started the spread of the coffee plant in Central and South America, where today it reigns supreme as the main continental cash crop. Coffee first arrived in the Dutch colony of Surinam in 1718, to be followed by plantations in French Guyana and the first of many in Brazil at Para. In 1730 the British introduced coffee to Jamaica, where today the most famous and expensive coffee in the world is grown in the Blue Mountains. By 1825, South and Central America were on track towards their coffee destiny. That date is also important as it was when coffee was first planted in Hawaii which produces the only US coffee, and one of the finest:
