The Coffee That Brought the Aroma Back

My Coffee Love Story

Okay, this week’s good thing is a bag of Tim Hortons Original Blend Whole Bean Coffee. But before I get into this little surprise — affordable, aromatic, and oh-so-worth-it — I need to talk about my love affair with coffee.

I know us coffee folks all have our own reasons why we drink it, why we need it, and why we talk about it like it’s a love language. So bear with me.

The Aroma That Hooked Me First

I fell in love with the smell of coffee long before I came to love the flavor. These days, I like both — dark roast, light roast, doesn’t matter — but the coffee aroma? That’s what hooked me. It’s right up there with fresh bread baking, and I stand on that. Don’t start fussin’, non-coffee people. LOL If you’ve ever caught a whiff of a good brew, you know what I’m talking about.

For years, I had this little morning ritual: I’d grind the beans myself, stand in the kitchen while it brewed, and just breathe it in. I couldn’t even explain the smell — nutty? wheaty? — I don’t know. I just knew it made me feel good.

When the Aroma Faded (And I Became a Bag Smeller)

But somewhere along the way, that part faded. The flavor was still there, but the aroma didn’t fill the house like it used to. It just kind of... fizzled out. That’s when I became what I like to call a bag smeller. Don’t judge me. LOL I’d open the coffee bag just to get a little hit of the good stuff. Sometimes I’d do it for no reason at all. A girl can have quirks, right?

Finding Tim Hortons Original Blend on Amazon

So I’m scrolling on Amazon one day — I usually go there to restock my spices — and I see a bag of Tim Hortons Original Blend whole bean coffee. Now, I’d heard of Tim Hortons from Canadian YouTubers pulling up to the drive-thru, but I’d never tried it. They didn’t rave about it, but I was curious. And the price was right. Who wants to spend a fortune just to be disappointed?

Brewing That Aroma Back to Life

The bag arrived two days later. When I opened it, I could already smell the goodness. Maybe the warm spring weather helped, but either way, it smelled like coffee coffee. I still wasn’t sold, though. I waited until the next morning — because around here, coffee is part of my morning peace: prayer, coffee brewing, and Bible reading. Sometimes tea joins in, but coffee holds the morning crown.

I opened the bag, ground the beans, and started brewing — and y’all, the aroma filled the house. And it lingered. That coffee aroma I thought I lost? It came back. And the taste? Smooth, easy to drink, just plain good.

Why This Bag Made My List of Good Things

Now, I’ve had “fancy” coffee. I’m not throwing the word great around — that’s reserved for fresh-roasted, straight-from-some-farm beans with a story. But this? This is good. Real good. And I’m already planning to order another bag.

I almost bought two the first time, but I didn’t want to be stuck with something I didn’t like. Now I know better.

And get this — I just found out a Tim Hortons opened not too far from me. One day, I might swing by and try those Timbits all the YouTubers keep raving about.

So yes, this week’s good thing is a simple, solid, satisfying bag of affordable coffee — Tim Hortons Original Blend. It gave me back that ahhh moment in the morning — and if you’re a coffee lover, you know exactly what I mean.

I’d Trade a Diamond for This Coffee Aroma—And I Meant That

Well, I’m off to order me a new bag or two. And no, this isn’t an ad — just a little story about how my coffee aroma came back to life.

You know, there are a lot of things people value in this world. If you said, “Dana, I’ve got a diamond and a bag of the best coffee,” I’d probably have a whole war in my mind. I mean, the diamond has value, it lasts forever... but that coffee? That aroma? That does something a diamond can’t. It gives you that ahhh feeling, that moment of peace in the middle of your morning.

Now if I could figure out how to bottle that smell and sell it... whew. LOL.
