phil & sebastian coffee company

Bad coffee. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Phil & Sebastian. Coffee Company. You've never ... had a shop in L.A. Giggling? Go ahead and google "Phil & Sebastian coffee", and that's what you'll get. If you're not yet in hysterics, go back and look for the phrase: "Nobody makes coffee like we do... But we're a bit odd." And I suppose that it is a bit peculiar, because well Phil & Sebastian is located in a city known for another kind of black gold, the oil business, not usually the coffee business. Calgary is a pretty new city, as things go, and it's not a historic centre on the silk road, or a cultural mecca with thousands of generations of coffee-goers who sit around composing cantatas in honour of coffee's goodness. But now is a good time to start, and this is just part of why Phil & Sebastian coffee is so fantastic to have in town. This coffee is really darn good stuff. Shockingly, the coffee actually has flavour, and not something you want to mask by excess milk, cream, sugar, or syrupy gunk; it reveals layers of flavour which tastes just as good as it smells. [ok strange... now I look at Starbuck's clover site - and that's they use the word layers too!! I swear that is what I was thinking when I had the coffee! The word dimensions is nice though, wish I'd thought of that.] Phil & Sebastian is a cool and quirky coffee company that luckily got their hands on a clover coffee press, and while I heard it was pricey, it was $4 for the best cup of coffee I've ever had. I have to say that, the best part is that it... well almost doesn't taste like coffee! It creates a very honest flavour, and I could use all kinds of descriptors, but then it would be a bit more like reading a wine-connoisseur's wordy description, and it might not even make sense, unless every yummy adjective is used. I will say that there really was something a bit grassy, but really just very natural and lovely. If you haven't been to the shop yet, do check it out.
