Reggie Roast Premium Coffee Blends
Reggie's Roast is known for the their original
gourmet coffee grown from the Jamaican Blue Mountains. Many believe that this is the only source of Reggie's
coffee blends, which is a common misconception. Reggie's Roast has a variety of Jamaican Blue Mountain blends, featuring the
finest coffee from around the world such as Papua New Guinea, Kenya AA, Guatemalan Antigua, and even the extremely rare Jamaica Blue Mountain Peaberry.
One of the most desirable Jamaican Blue Mountain blends from Reggie's Roast is the Blue Papua, which features both Jamaica Blue Mountain and Papua New Guinea Sigri A. There is quite an extensive history behind coffee from New Guinea, which begins in 1937. During this year coffee seeds were imported from the Jamaican Blue Mountains region, beginning the islands coffee cultivation. Currently, New Guinea coffee still shares similar characteristics with Jamaican Blue Mountain. Typically coffee beans are grown on the eastern half of the island and are wet processed. The New Guinea coffee growing region offers an abundance of rain and a cool crisp climate that creates some of the most delicious coffee beans. Reggie's Blue Papua can be described as having broad flavor with a classic sweetness, making for a delightful premium coffee.
One of Reggie's most popular imported gourmet coffees is the Kenyan AA. Kenyan coffee has been known as one of the top coffees in the world for years. The coffee beans are grown in the Mount Kenya region in high altitudes. The balanced climate and full-bodied volcanic soil are responsible for the distinct taste in Kenyan coffee. The Kenya AA blend has bold flavor with a smooth aftertaste that is often compared to wine.
The Peaberry coffee blend offered by Reggie's Roast is very rare. This blend comes from the Jamaican Blue Mountains where Reggie owns two farmlands, each providing our customers with some of the best coffee beans available. The Peaberry coffee bean differentiates itself from other coffee beans because it only has one half, whereas normal coffee beans have two. These Peaberry coffee beans need to be hand picked and sorted. A little below 5% of coffee beans picked are Peaberry beans making them extremely rare. Peaberry Coffee is one of Reggie's premium coffees.
Some of the most well known coffees in the world come from Guatemala. Reggie's Roast proudly offers Guatemalan Antigua to our customers, and features it in some of our Jamaican Blue Mountain blends. Guatemalan coffee is popular in the United States due to its location. The factors that make Guatemalan coffee beans amongst the best are their rich soil, climate, and altitude. The Guatemala Antigua blend of coffee is known for its great balance and smoothing aroma.

Why does the military want to cut out fast food joints oversees when it is the one that put those joints there?
KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan (Reuters) ? Fast food joints where soldiers wolf down burgers and pizza will soon be a thing of the past at bases in Afghanistan, as the U.S. military reminds soldiers they are at war and not in "an amusement park."
In the sprawling military base at Kandahar, the fast food outlets facing the axe include Burger King, Pizza Hut, and the U.S. chain restaurant T.G.I. Friday's that features a bar with alcohol-free margaritas and other drinks -- all set along the bustling "Boardwalk" area of the base.
On any given day, the giant square-shaped walkway features the surreal sight of soldiers sipping gourmet coffee and eating chocolate pastries with guns slung across their shoulders, while Canadians play ice hockey at a nearby rink and fighter jets thunder overhead.
The U.S. military says its beef with the burger joints is that they take up valuable resources like water, power, flight and convoy space and that cutting back on non-essentials is key to running an efficient military operation.
"This is a war zone -- not an amusement park," Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Hall wrote in a blog earlier this year.
"Supplying nonessential luxuries to big bases like Bagram and Kandahar makes it harder to get essential items to combat outposts and forward operating bases, where troops who are in the fight each day need resupply with ammunition, food and water."
Warning that concessions like Orange Julius, Dairy Queen and Military Car Sales were also on the exit list, Hall said less-obvious changes were coming too -- including fewer canned and bottled goods coming into the country as well as fewer first-run movie showings and some entertainment programs.
For now, fast food joints like Burger King which operate out of little shacks along the Kandahar boardwalk are still doing brisk business, with lines snaking outside their counters, but their contracts are not expected to be renewed when they expire.
A motley crew of other stores selling Afghan books, jewelry and phone cards and the busy Canadian Tim Horton's outlet that sells coffee and doughnuts will stay on.
Some U.S. soldiers privately grumble about the cutbacks, but others said they were not bothered by the new edict.
Those desperate for comfort food always have the option of the "Chef's short order" section at the dining halls, where fried calamari rings, fish fingers and burgers are free for soldiers and available in abundance.

help with a math problem?
Solve the problem.
Jimmy is a partner in an Internet-based coffee supplier. The company offers gourmet coffee beans for $15 per pound and regular coffee beans for $5 per pound. Jimmy is creating a medium-price product that will sell for $7 per pound. The first thing to go into the mixing bin was 20 pounds of the gourmet beans. How many pounds of the less expensive regular beans should be added?
