Notas del episodio
Have you ever spent ten minutes looking for your phone while you were talking on it? You check the counter. You look under the mail. You pat your pockets. You may even wander into another room wondering, “Where in the world did I put that phone?” Then suddenly the person on the other end says, “Aren’t you using it?” Well... yes. Yes, I am. Sometimes what we're searching for is already right there with us. We get so busy looking for the next thing that we forget to appreciate what we already have. That brings me to Snooty. Now Snooty may have a name with a little attitude, but she has good reason to hold her head high. This blend brings together fruity, floral, and nutty notes for a cup that isn't afraid to have a little personality. And here's an interesting coffee fact: the aroma of coffee contributes tremendously to what we perceive as flavor. When we take a sip, our taste buds aren't doing all the work. Aromatic compounds travel from the mouth up into the nasal passages, where our sense of smell helps our brain identify many of those wonderful flavor characteristics. That's one reason coffee can seem less flavorful when your nose is stuffy. Your coffee didn't suddenly forget how to be coffee—your nose just called in sick! So the next time you enjoy Snooty, don't rush. Smell the coffee before you sip it. Notice the aroma, then take that first taste. Life can be like that too. Sometimes we need to stop searching, slow down, and notice the blessings already sitting right in front of us. And if one of those blessings happens to be a warm cup of Snooty, well, that's not a bad way to start.
