Philz Coffee Tour: #10 Dancing Water

This is the first time I've gone to Philz after 9am. I've been running at Golden Gate park most afternoons, but decided to switch and did 8 and a half first thing.

I was home in time to sign for the FedEx package I missed yesterday. A liquor distributor we're working with sent me a very generous housewarming gift -- so if you like whiskey, stop by. On a side note, the FedEx walk-in pickup facility is way down in San Francisco. Reachable by public transit, but it requires investing at least two hours of your life for the roundtrip.

Ah, where were we? Yes. The coffee.

About Dancing Water, Philz says: "A medium-light blend that is as smooth and delicate as the water that sustains life. Graceful tones of complete satisfaction can be found in a cup of this masterpiece."

Without the embellishment, it's an accurate statement. The coffee has a light body that makes its way to the back of your throat imparting hints of chocolate and caramel and finishing like a light mocha. (To my knowledge, there's nothing chocolate in it)

They threw a mint sprig in the drink and I wonder if that helps it along a bit. I'm not a huge fan of mint in conjuction with java flavors but it's subtle enough to work.
