Gourmet espresso coffee gifts go over great
for a holiday or a special occasion. Especially popular is
a handcrafted gourmet espresso coffee gift basket. Avid coffee
drinkers really love to get this and it is easy to add some
really great extras once you have decided on the type of espresso
you will put in the gift!
Two great gourmet espresso coffees that go great in a gift
basket are Rainforest Alliance Brazil and French Roast.
Rainforest is a favorite in Europe with rich aroma, mild acidity
and medium-to-full body flavor. French Roast is a dark, European
roast coffee with a light smoky flavor.
Another one of the typical gourmet
espresso coffees that you can have placed in your holiday
basket are Sumatra Mandheling. This is one of the fullest
body coffees in the world, with low acidity, and a smooth
taste.
A few other great choices for espresso beans are Guatemala
Antigua, which is a rich and aromatic coffee with a hint of
spicy fruit, and Panama, which contains a natural, creamy-flavour
coffee with a subtle fruit finish. Kenya AA has also been
offered in many corporate baskets because it is the most popular
of the African coffees with a distinctive winy after-taste,
full body and bright acidity.
Coffee
gift baskets usually start with a beautifully handcrafted
basket and a handmade tray. Each basket can be lined with
a cloth, and the look should be suitable for later use as
a bread, or dinner roll basket. One of the favorite goodies
in a gift basket is a mug and chocolate coffee spoons. Some
people actually use them in their coffee!
Some other additions to the basket are Biscotti, and Cookies.
Biscotti is a great addition if you add a traditional dipping
choice like Almond Florentine is an age old favorite. People
always like with huge pieces of well-roasted almonds and a
hint of cinnamon to go with their dip. Cookies are often included
and can be imprinted with anything you like. Chocolate covered
espresso beans with a rich, dark chocolate and a crunchy bean
center are a great treat as are mints and candies in tins.
The choices are really endless for adding to a coffee
gifts basket. Because of this, it is no wonder that so
many people choose coffee
And tea gift baskets for the holidays. Next time you are
wondering what to buy for Christmas, pick up a holiday gift
basket with your favorite gourmet coffee. You won't be disappointed.
