3 Cups, Chapel Hill 3.4.09
Project completion is drawing near, but there are a few corners of the Triangle I have not yet explored. Tonight, I ventured to 3 Cups, off of Franklin St in Chapel Hill. 3 Cups is a coffee house/winery. They sell Counter Culture Coffee products and offer a selection of wines that abide by similar philosophies as their beans: Fair Trade, Organics, High Quality.
Another fun aspect of 3 Cups is their retail store. They have a host of products helpful for grinding and brewing the perfect cup of coffee.
Their in-house coffee was served in two different ways. Either a personal press, complete with timer for the perfect steep or a single brew, made with a gold filter and slow dripped just for you!
Keil was my co-hort this evening, so we both tried different blends. I tried a smaller blend (priced at $90 per pound) that was simply named after the farmer that it was purchased from. Keil tried the Misty Valley, which was a brew that Phil and I had tasted at the CC Cupping.
When the timer ran out, we counted down and plunged!
My coffee was delicious, a bit chocolatey, but not too complex. While I turn into a Mogwai when I drink coffee after 5 pm, this was just too good to pass up. I finished the whole cup, buzzing all the way home.
