I have recently tried organic French vanilla coffee from www.DeansBeans.com.  The coffee was delicious with an all-natural vanilla flavor.  Their French vanilla coffee is made from Peruvian beans.

 
Dean’s Beans is a family owned certified organic, fair trade coffee roaster.  Dean's Beans coffee costs about 25% less than leading brand (non-organic) coffee and are sourced from various countries.  In addition to their fair trade practice, Dean's Beans design and fund grassroots development projects in the villages where they buy their beans.  How can they do all this and still remain competitive?  Well, they do not have the large marketing budgets as other leading brand (non-organic) coffee and depend on word of mouth to reach new potential customers.  I believe that their products are great and their mission is admirable.  All of Dean's Beans fine whole bean specialty coffees are roasted in small batches at their beanery in Orange, MA.

You can also make your own custom label as well straight from their website.  In addition to their coffee products, they also offer other cool product as well.

I confess, I was a tea totaler for the longest time.  That was until I graduated from college and was working at Oxford Health Plans with a great Medical Director.  When I mentioned to him that I was a tea totaler, he taught me that studies have shown individuals who drank red wine moderately lived longer than tea totalers.  I have since expanded my drinking horizons to include coffee and various wines.

Now that I am trying to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle, I am trying different organic drinks as well.  I have recently tried Jims' Organic Coffee.  This organic company makes great USDA Organic Certified Kosher coffee roasted in a 100% renewable energy plant.  Basically, they practice what they preach and really support eco-friendly living.  I tried the Wonderbrew coffee.  The rich Arabica coffee bean flavor fills the room before you even taste a sip.  The taste is very rich with a faint trace of sweetness.  The bold flavors surprisingly leaves no bitter aftertaste.  It really wakes me up in the morning.  In Costa Rica, their coffee supplier is part of a 40,000 acre eco preserve.  You can learn more about their products at www.jimsorganiccoffee.com.
