Name That Blend
Before I went camping last week (and got rained out) I threw a couple of different coffees together to bring along. I used a Brazilian coffee, which has kind of nutty/semi-sweet chocolate taste and an Ethiopian, which is a very complex mix of floral and fruit flavors. Each of them is delicious by themselves, but mixed together they are truly fantastic!
Note that these are NOT flavored coffees. Flavored coffees are an abomination and should be cast into the deepest pits of Hell. If all the coffee you drink tastes the same, it's time to try someplace else, each coffee has unique characteristics that come from the climate and soil they were grown in, amongst other things.
Anyhoo, I like the blend so much that I'm going to start marketing it, but I need to come up with a name. That's where you come in.
Suggestions, please. I'm not guaranteeing that I'll pick one from here, but if I do the "winner" will get a free bag sent to them (to be arranged through PMs).
Grandfatherly advice: You can drink 'em pretty, but you can't drink 'em smart.

Re: Name That Blend
In all seriousness - I think it's hard to name a blend w/o tasting it.
Maybe offer it to some of your select customers and ask for input.
