Why Coffee Tastes Different in the Summer: A few thoughts on iced coffee, match days, and why your taste buds are not being dramatic
Atlanta is hosting the world this summer, which means a few things are true at once: traffic will be strange, jerseys will suddenly become acceptable weekday attire, and a lot of people will be looking for something cold to drink before, during, or after a match.

Not because coffee needs to be inserted into every conversation — although I have built a life on making that argument, but because summer changes the way we experience coffee.

Milk Chocolate, Orange Zest, and a Little Pepper: What’s Going On Here?
Coffee tasting notes can sound a little suspicious if no one has explained them properly.
Milk chocolate? Orange zest? Cracked black pepper? Dried cherry?
