Haiku Coffee Reviews

Time is short. I’m left either to write an unbearably long article that hasn’t enjoyed the sundry benefits of editing (1)… or to take another approach. Let’s call it, review Haiku.

Peet’s Viennese Blend

Mahogany-hued –
While it’s lovingly crafted,
Its finish is lost.

Intelligentsia Coffee’s Nepenthe Organic Blend

Its fragrance beckons,
Distilled, yet sweetly assured.
Like a vintage port.

Boca Java’s Sumatran Sunset

Earthy? No, barnyard…
And not a civet in sight.
Not recommended.

(1) In the vein of Blaise Pascal’s, “I have made this letter longer than usual, only because I have not had the time to make it shorter.”
