We thought you might be interested in seeing the nice piece that Don Polec of Philadelphia’s ABC TV affiliate did on Peregrine Coffee on Sunday’s 11 O’Clock News.  We love the segment, but we hope you don’t wince too much at the final shot….

This is a wonderful example of a balanced, elegant cup of coffee.  The smells are familiar: coffee, flower-perfumy, citrus, with a touch of caramelized brown sugar.  The initial tastes are bright and crisp, like the first apples of Fall.  The dry mouthfeel doesn’t come across as acidic, but more high and bright, and it finishes slightly metallic. There are hints of dry nuttiness –a blend of almonds and cocoa powder with a slight malty-coffee-caramel thread. A new range of flavors emerges once it cools: complex layers of unusual fruit and spices.
