The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Coffee

the first one to drink it
is the rooster who crows
high in the mountains
where the coffee bean grows

a wakeful injection
a confection so brown
in a dark-coloured liquid
I daily do drown

to be wired and fired
and mired in glad
it's desired and I'm inspired
to never be sad

from cash crop bushes
high up in the Andes
the world's gone apeshit
for stimulant candies

Hello John,My favourite coffee is hazel nut. I buy the coffee beans and grind them.I like the taste. Depending on my mood I would drink the whole pot. Or leave some for later. Have a nice day my friend.
