yet has remarkable brightness, dark and spicy. You

and a striking bittersweet chocolate finish. Estate grown Java coffees
are unmatched for aromatic spiciness, rich, smooth, full bodied

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Smooth body, yet bright and dark, spicy and full bodied. Has to be Marylin Monroe and Jane Russell. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes is filled with comedic gags and musical numbers. While Russell's down-to-earth, sharp wit has been noted by most critics, it is Monroe's turn as the gold-digging Lorelei Lee for which the film is often remembered. Monroe's rendition of the song "Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend" is considered an iconic performance that has been copied by the likes of Madonna, Nicole Kidman and Anna Nicole Smith.
Breakfast Blend at Tiffany's
This Central American bean is ideal for breakfast and those who favor
medium body, mildly bright, well balanced coffee anytime of day. Look
for hints of citrus, bittersweet dark chocolate and sweet pecans.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
Bright, yet bittersweet much like Holly Golightly. Audrey Hepburn's portrayal of Golightly as the naive, eccentric rich man's escort is generally considered to be the actress's most memorable and identifiable role. She herself regarded it as one of her most challenging roles, since she was an introvert required to play an extrovert. Hepburn's performance of "Moon River" helped composer Henry Mancini and lyricist Johnny Mercer win an Oscar for Best Song.
Ray Folger
Rich and mellow yet bold and sweet. This is what other Colombian's aspire to be.

Ray Bolger
Ray Bolger's film career began when he signed a contract with MGM in 1936 and is best know for his role as the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. Bolger's studio contract stipulated that he would play any part the studio chose; however, he was unhappy when he was cast as the Tin Man. The Scarecrow part had already been assigned to another lean and limber dancing studio contract player, Buddy Ebsen. In time, the roles were switched. While Bolger was pleased with his role as the Scarecrow, Ebsen was struck ill by the powdered aluminum make-up used to complete the Tin Man costume. The powdered aluminum badly coated Ebsen's lungs, leaving him near death. Ebsen's illness paved the way for the Tin Man role to be filled by Jack Haley. Ironically, Ebsen would outlive all the principal players of Oz. When Ray Bolger died an editorial cartoon on January 17, 1987, two days after his death, by Chicago Tribune artist Dick Locher, depicted the Oz cast dancing off into the setting sun and toward the Emerald City, with the Scarecrow running to catch up.
