I was on a Bumble date, and our talk turned to coffee. She was intrigued by Dirty Water and offered up a query. “Have you had Joshua Tree Coffee? If not then you should.” Then she swore up and down that, “It is sooooo good.” I’d been to J.T. for a quick getaway. Starting days of with a Café au lait from Natural Sisters Café. But had not a clue, there was a local brew.
I hadn’t seen the bean sold at my local store, so I forgot about the brand and continued to explore. Then my friend Peter switched from grinding and bubbling to Nespresso machine guzzling. “I got these Joshua Tree beans. You want’em?” he asked. Well, when my worlds collide, I always say, “Yes.”
So here I am, with my press of J.T. and I gotta say, they’re not a “soooo good” bean. They're decent, dark, and definitely not bad. But I’ll get my kicks from a less expensive bag. The artwork is cool, and J.T.’s a haven, but it’s what’s inside, not good looks, that I’m cravin’.
All this rhyming has really worn me down. So here’s a final haiku on this cup of dirty brown.
Joshua Tree Coffee
Blight in the painted desert
I would rather hike
Sounds like you’re not down with JTC (yeah you know me 🎶 ). Noted.
