"I ordered Door County coffee for the first time after seeing your recipe contest. You included a sample of your 'Raspberry Almond' coffee. Truthfully, I told myself "yuck" when I read the flavor...BOY was I wrong!!! When I opened the sample and took a whiff I couldn't wait to brew a pot...I am in LOVE with Door County 'Raspberry Almond'...I guess you could say it was "Love at first whiff!" The flavor is phenomenal...and I just knew immediately that it was going to be fabulous in a dessert...and...BaMM...hope you enjoy my 'Raspberry Coffee-Almond-Fudge-Bundt Cake'."
