Giveaway: Z’s Divine Coffee Variety Pack!

by Rebecca on April 28   ///   28 Comments

Today, our Alice.com President Mark McGuire gives us his thoughts on Z’s Divine Coffee. After his review, be sure to keep reading for your chance to enter to win Z’s Divine Variety Pack!

Let’s get this out right up front—I love coffee.  I mean I really love it.  One of my favorite parts of the day is that bleary-eyed walk down to the kitchen in the morning to crank up the coffee grinder and have the smell of freshly brewed coffee fill the house.

That’s why I was pretty excited to have the opportunity to review a new coffee selling on the Alice.com marketplace—Z’s Divine.  Z’s certainly didn’t disappoint.

It’s Organic, Don’t Panic

The first thing I noticed about Z’s coffee is the organic and fair trade label on the packaging.  My family had the opportunity recently to stay in Costa Rica with a family that worked in a banana plantation.  We saw firsthand their struggle to make ends meet and we also saw the really terrible effects that pesticides have on the rivers, coastlines and people who live there.  Honestly, I’ve never looked at a banana the same way.

Buying a coffee that is certified fair trade and organic is one very small thing my family can do to help support sustainable industry practices, a living wage for families, and a cleaner planet.  Point for Z’s Divine.

The Brew—Moon River

For my review, Z’s provided me with their popular house blend called Moon River.  The blend includes three different roasts—light, medium and dark—to give both light and dark roast lovers something to appreciate.

The aroma of the coffee was fantastic in the coffee grinder, and I knew I was in for a treat.

Moon River was a great coffee.  I like a strong coffee, but not to the point that the coffee turns bitter (a French or Italian roast isn’t my favorite).  Moon River had a really bold flavor and nice strong finish, but it didn’t overwhelm me.  The coffee’s flavor was sweet and nutty, but had a little kick of boldness to it that I really liked.

Life is too short to drink cheap coffee

There are lots of places in life where we cut corners to save a buck or two.  But if something is important to you, don’t skimp.  Life is too short for that.  For me, buying a really good coffee is a little luxury in life that doesn’t cost much to make a real difference.

ENTER THE COFFEE GIVEAWAY!

I really enjoyed Moon River, and I’m pretty sure it will be a regular passenger in those Alice.com boxes that show up on our doorstep every couple of weeks.  Go ahead and give Z’s a try and enter the giveaway below in the meantime!

    I love that Z’s is organic. I’ve been reading a lot about what it means to be organic and it truly is important to drink coffee made from organically grown beans. I’d love to try the Perfect Day, light roast. The description on alice.com makes me want to purchase, NOW! Great giveaway!

    I’d LOVE to try the Divine Moon River…the song is one of my most favorites from waay back! Since we live in Louisiana, we all drink coffee, and I have a sense of adventure when it comes to coffee!!!

  • Christie

    I don’t know what I like about Z’s since I have not tried it… yet! It sounds delicious! The names are so fanciful and colorful it makes you want to try a cup.

  • katmagick

    I would love to try them all! Perfect Day would be the first one I try because who doesn’t want to start off with A Perfect Day! I love that they give explicit directions for grind size and coffee to water amounts. I am going to be making my coffee differently tomorrow.
