The Coffee For Donuts

This donut blog is principally about the search for the perfect pastry . . . but we can't overlook the pairing of coffee with donuts.  And when it comes to finding the perfect coffee, one can't go wrong with the Casi Cielo blend from Starbucks.

This blend, which is only offered in the month of February, is also a staple in fine restaurants and is a Guatemalan blend . . . generally regarded as one of the top growing regions of the world.

I finished my final pot of Casi Cielo this morning and have felt rather blue all day.  Casi has that smooth finish that makes a cup of coffee not only enjoyable, but memorable.  Add a little cream . . . nothing quite like it.

And, if one is looking for a nice complement to a cup of Casi Cielo while reclining in a Starbucks chair, why not try one of the raspberry scones?  It may not be the perfect start to a morning, but it will get you half way there.

And remember . . . all things, including donuts, in moderation!
