One Love By Marley Coffee – What I’m Drinking

The Drink: One Love From Marley Coffee
Type: Whole Bean
Overall Rating: 4.5 out of 5

More than 1300 years ago, coffee as we know it was born in the African country of Ethiopia. There, coffee is just a much a part of daily life and rituals as it’s part of the morning routine in America. The crown jewels of Ethiopian coffee is called Yirgacheffee.

Maybe it’s fitting, that my journeys with the Marley Coffee company end with a coffee from where it all started. One Love is an Organic Ethiopian Coffee, a remarkable coffee and one of the top five coffees that I’ve had this year. Everything about this coffee was above average, starting with the aroma.

I’ve had coffees with floral aromas, but I’ve never smelled one like this before. The aroma coming from a freshly poured cup almost smells like I’m in a park, walking by blooming flowers. It wasn’t overwhelming like I walked into a flower shop, just a hint of spring. To a lesser degree, there was the smell of freshly picked strawberries and blueberries, with a hint of chocolate underneath it all.

The initial sip overwhelmed me with flavor. A warm and smooth feeling filled my mouth, it was bright and full of excitement for my taste buds.

I had a hard time picking out what I was tasting at first. After a few sips, chocolate and nut flavors rose to the top. Underneath, I was picking up hints of cinnamon and mint. It had an organic taste – crisp and clean tasting.

My tongue was left with a cherry dipped in chocolate taste. It was the perfect finish.

The Bob Marley song “One Love” is about people coming together. This is a coffee that I wanted to share with other people, it would be perfect for when you have friends and family over for dinner. Of course, I wouldn’t complain about drinking this coffee everyday.

By the end of my cup, I knew that One Love was my favorite from Marley Coffee. I gave it a rating of 4.5 out of 5, one of the highest ratings that a coffee has earned so far. If you can only get one, it’s the one I recommend, but if you can, try them all, it’s well worth it. Right now, you can buy One Love at the Marley Coffee site for $14.99 a bag.

I really enjoyed all of the Marley Coffees, but I do have one real complaint. The packaging can be difficult to open without the bag tearing and coffee beans escaping. Other than that, I really think that Rohan Marley and his friend Shane Whittle did excellent work in continuing Bob Marley’s legacy and fulfilling his dream of returning to a life of farming.
