Ok, so I’m a Jarva Junki and I enjoy creating a stir! This is Jarva inspiration on the wild side … Africa, home of the big five and the echoes of drum beats in the bushveld.
The Art of Coffee Drinking – Sensual Sensation
Imagine this – an
inviting tray of breakfast … cappuccino and a warm croissant … scoop up a little froth or cream and slowly lick it off your finger … close your eyes and put the mug to your lips … feel your mouth flood with the taste of coffee – pleasant, berry-like and winey flavour with a heady aroma, sliding in a warm trickle down your throat … you gasp … have another delicious sip.
Make time to enjoy the art of drinking coffee and elevate the traditional into something to be remembered, long after the last delectable sip.
