    Gourmet Coffee

    Gourmet flavored coffees have grown in popularity in recent years but the tradition has actually been around for a long time. The common belief is that flavored coffee originated in the Middle East a very long time ago. It was there that people first began to experiment with adding spices (like cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg) directly to their coffee. Perhaps, these early flavored coffees were the first gourmet coffees. No one knows for sure.

    While you can still make flavored coffee in this way, the kind of gourmet flavored coffee you will find in a specialty gourmet coffee shop is much more flavorful and well-rounded. Specialty gourmet coffee shops usually carry five varieties of gourmet flavored coffee beans. Although, it is not unheard of for a roaster to combine two of these varieties into one coffee bean (such as Vanilla-Nut flavored coffee beans).

    Vanilla Flavored Coffee Beans

    Vanilla flavored coffee beans are typically creamy in taste. French Vanilla and Irish Cr?¨me are two of the most popular vanilla flavored coffee beans.

    Chocolate Flavored Coffee Beans

    Chocolate flavored coffee beans are extremely popular. You can find all sorts, ranging from strong dark chocolate to creamy light chocolates. Chocolate mint flavored coffee beans are also very popular.

    Fruit Flavored Coffee Beans

    There is a very large variety of fruit flavored coffee beans on the market. In particular, berry flavored coffee beans are very common. Coconut flavored coffee beans are also popular.

    Spice Flavored Coffee Beans

    Spice flavored coffee beans covers a very wide variety tastes. You can find everything from cinnamon flavored coffee beans to pumpkin spice flavored coffee beans in many specialty gourmet coffee shops.

    Of these five varieties of gourmet flavored coffee beans, the vanilla flavored coffee beans are the most popular. Nut flavored coffee beans would be second. Hazelnut flavored coffee beans are very popular. After that, chocolate flavored coffee beans come in a close third with fruit flavored coffee beans and spice flavored coffee groups trailing the list. But, who cares about popularity? What matters most is taste!

    Gourmet flavored coffees get taste through a special process by which the flavoring is added to the coffee beans while immediately after roasting. Because gourmet coffee is usually quite strong, the amount of flavor which must be added to gourmet coffee beans is substantial. If you have ever been in a specialty gourmet coffee shop, you may have noticed the strong smell of flavored gourmet coffees. Don't be turned off by this, the taste of the flavored coffee will not be as strong as the smell. This is also true of when you buy gourmet flavored coffee online. When you open the package, you may be surprised at just how strong flavored coffee beans actually smell.
