Intelligentsia sent over a couple of their coffee blends for review on Coffee Obsessed. This bourbon blend out of Columbia is in season and ready for consumption. With cranberry, orange and hints of hazelnut, this coffee from Intelligentsia is going to be a pleasure to review.

    I’ sure that I’ve already mentioned this, but Intelligentsia is one of my favorite coffee shops in Chicago, but I’ve never brought any home. I really have to get with it and try some soon.
