A CONTEST Brewed with you in mind!
$25 Starbucks Gift Card
You are what you eat. Or drink. Feeling like a jolt to jumpstart your morning? How about a double espresso? Health conscious? Try a decaf. Plain Jane? Well, that’s what we used to have with the “good to the last drop” of yesteryear.
As writers we can learn a little from the escalating popularity in specialty coffees and drinks. We all need fresh ways of describing characters, and boy, does the coffee industry know how to get creative with description. Here’s a sampling of what I found. Which one fits you?
- Delicate with a cocoa finish
-
Elegant with floral, citrus, and herbal notes
-
Exotic and unpredictable
-
Pleasingly mild with a nutty complexity
-
Light-bodied (don’t I wish?)
-
Velvet smooth and roasty sweet
-
Nutty and smooth
-
Hint of acidity
-
Balanced and straightforward
-
Earthy and full-bodied
-
Dense, caramel smooth
-
Blunt, smoky, and intense
-
Fleeting, floral aroma
-
Not for the timid
-
Lush and full-bodied
-
Bold acidity with a crisp finish
-
Frothy and sweet
Sounds like the cast of a great novel, doesn’t it? Because I LOVE coffee and am anxious to get to know some of you, I’m hosting a contest. Right here friends, I’ll be giving away a $25 Starbucks gift certificate for your sipping pleasure. Not a coffee drinker? Be a sport and bless one of your coffee-lovin’ friends with a nice gift.
RULES: Post a comment on this post telling me which kind of coffee describes you. If you’re a tea-sipper or mocha junkie, no problem. Just leave a comment anyhow and let me know you want to be in the drawing. Please include contact information. E-mail or website. No phone numbers or street addresses (for your protection).
CONTEST ENDS AT NOON ON SEPTEMBER 30!
When I reveal the winner, I’ll tell you which coffee personality I am!
I’m off to refill my cup. Have a glorious weekend!
