Hamptons Lane- For Coffee Lovers

As a local living around the area surrounding Seattle, it is no wonder that I really enjoy a nice cup of coffee. However, I also like to have a nice cup of home brewed coffee just as much. Those many trips to the coffee shop can really hurt the pocketbook at times.Especially when they are on every corner. What better than a coffee company online that creates the perfect blend for you, or just makes it easier to get the coffee you really like delivered straight to your door. Well, ladies and gentleman here is Hamptons Lane.


What is Hamptons Lane?

Hamptons Lane is not only a monthly subscription that provides some great coffee, but also allows you to buy coffee that is specifically picked out to fit your taste buds. The goal Hamptons Lane has embarked on is they they want their customers “to have a unique experience, tailored to your unique taste. You can get the ultimate in coffee personalization by creating your very own blend. Select from an assortment of our fine beans and combine them to create your personal blend – made, named, and enjoyed by you and your friends.”

One of the very great tools Hamptons Lane provides is a Taste Profile quiz that after taking prepares customized recommendations based on your preferences in flavors

After taking the Taste Profile Quiz I was designated as…

THE CHOCOLATIER


Your addiction to cocoa is nearly as strong as your addiction to the coffee bean. Both have proven to be much healthier than we once thought, and always tasty. You can pair your cup of joe imbued with notes of hazelnut chocolate with a chunk of cinnamon dusted chocolate on the side.



Regatta Java


I got the opportunity to try this great Medium Roast Blend of Coffee from the Hamptons Lane signature line of coffee. Very Smooth, yet a hint of spiciness. I really do like Medium Roast coffees, so this was a perfect pick for me, and very good. A little more about Regatta Java blend:



Regatta Java -$15 for a 12 oz. bag

HL COFFEE - MEDIUM ROAST


A day at the races wouldn’t be complete without cup of coffee to match the mood. Regatta Java Indonesian and South American beans will excite you with a sweet snap at the first sip, followed by a nice smooth, yet spicy finish.


Hamptons Lane Boxes


Hamptons Lane provides some great boxes that fit many different taste, likes, and preferences of coffee. They provide you the option to buy some of their curated boxes, like my particular pick, Breakfast Blend Tasting box, which contains four 6oz. bags of their favorite coffees to start the day. Cost- $29



They also have the option to build your own box. You can hand pick any four 6oz. bags of your own coffees that you like. Cost- $26

 Create your Own

Another amazing feature at Hamptons Lane is that you can create your own blend of coffee. I went through the online custom blend selection and made a great little blend of coffee I call Tickled Pink Roast. What a great idea for holidays or company presents for all. Cost $14 for a 12 oz bag.



YOUR BLEND’S DESCRIPTION:

This full, sweet cup has delicious notes of cinnamon throughout.


TICKLED PINK OPINION: I really think Hamptons Lane has it all. You not only can purchase curated boxes that fit your coffee style, but you also can custom blend and custom desimake your own coffee. I do not think I have seen anything out there like this yet. I cannot wait to see more from Hamptons Lane.

Misto Box Coffee Adventures and GIVEAWAY



It has taken me a couple days to post this review on the new Misto Box, because, I was too busy enjoying all my lovely coffee I received.  I  feel like I was on a coffee adventure.

I really must say this unique box was a long time coming.  As a Seattleite, you know I love my coffee, and this box is perfect.



What is Misto Box?

My intro probably has cued you in that Misto Box is a fairly new and awesome  box curated by some amazinge entrepreneurs who decided that “truly amazing coffee shouldn’t be a pain”.  I totally agree with that. Honestly,  there is nothing worse than a bad cup of coffee.  Each month you get sent  4 different brands of  coffee shipped right to your door. (Note you should invest in a coffee grinder as these are coffee beans being shipped). 

Cost: $ 15 per month

April Misto Box


Please remember while I do love coffee, I am not an expert on the subject. I know there are some very passionate reviewers and aficionados of coffee out there and I do want to give anyone the wrong opinion that I know exactly what I am talking about. However, I am just giving my everyday Tickled Pink opinion.


Klatch: Guatemala Genuine Antigua Covadonga


This is said to make you “feel like a kid at Christmas”. When I first read that I was instantly excited. Who does not get excited about Christmas. After brewing this coffee,  I would have to say that this is my favorite. It had in my opinion a very classy taste, bold, and loved the hint of caramel.

Ceremony Coffee: Rwanda Gitesi


This was a very interesting cup of coffee.  The smell opening up the bag was so good,  I could have sat there and smelled it all day (I like the smell of coffee).  I thought the taste was very pleasant, and bold.

Verve: El Salvador La  Palma


This was said to have notes of papaya and starfruit with a lasting finish. In my opinion this was a great mild/medium coffee, and great to start the morning with.  I do not have coffee terms to explain, but the taste seem to last, and to get me through the morning better than any normal cup of coffee.

Augie’s Coffee: El Salvador Santa Julia


This coffee was described from Misto Box as having notes of pink Lady Apple, sweet fruits, and creamy finish. I thought like the Verve coffee this was just a very light coffee , and perfect for the morning for me.  There is just something about a good cup of coffee that makes your day start of good!

Misto Box also provided in the Box this great little booklet about each coffee included, very informative.  I think that this was a great touch. 


Overall, I am very pleased with Misto Box. I think that the coffee, after tasting, researching ,and reading about different coffee companies online,  will never be the same to me. I never know how many different varieties of coffee there are. I am glad to have been given the chance to branch out and try something different and new, like coffee from Rwanda.

While Misto Box is a great box for myself, I think that Misto Box would be a perfect gift subscription as well.  And what better time to try Misto Box out for yourself or a friend or family member, than. right now.. Get your first Misto Box for $5 with Promo Code  BOX5
