How to Choose a Coffee Gift Basket in Five Minutes
Tips for finding a coffee gift basket for anyone
A coffee gift basket doesn’t come in sizes or with batteries. But a coffee gift basket does come in flavors to choose from. How can you choose a coffee gift basket for someone else? Well, it’s really not that different from buying any other gift.
Finding the kind
The best start in the search for a coffee gift basket is to look at the coffee your gift recipient already drinks. If you’re close, you’ll already know what coffee they drink or you already make it for them.
If you’re looking for a coffee gift basket for someone who doesn’t live with you, you’ll have to play detective.
For a time, look to see what they put in their coffee.
If they like a lot of cream and sugar, then you’ll want to pick a darker roasted coffee so the flavor comes through. If they like their coffee black, a lighter roast might work out better.
Of course, there are also those that like their coffee thick and dark, so a dark roast works for them as well.
Around the world
For a great coffee gift basket, it’s time to sort out the regions of coffee. For a lighter, milder roast, you can look at Central and South America, even the Caribbean. In the middle are African coffees selections and the heavier coffees can be found in the Asian, Indonesian, and Pacific regions.
A coffee gift basket might include a bag of Jamaican Blue Mountain or Kauai for a lighter coffee drinker. Guatemala also provides a good light coffee, as well as Brazil and Colombia.
African choices for a coffee gift basket include Tanzanian or Ethiopian with their middle of the road tastes. And for the dark coffee lover, Sumatra Mandheling or Papua New Guinea will be the perfect coffee gift basket addition.
