Thank you to Intelligent Blends for providing me with product in exchange for review. All thoughts are my own.
I have found myself extra stressed this holiday season. The kids have been sick, which means that I have also been sick off and on. Work is always piling up, kind of like the diry laundry in the wash room. Someone always needs something every moment that I am awake, and some days, I long for a quiet moment, just to sit in a dimly lit room, in total quiet, first thing in the morning. My first cup of coffee each morning helps set the tone for the rest of my day, so why not start off with an extrodinary blend?
These days, I'm starting my days with a delicious cup of coffee from Intelligent Blends. Coffee time is semi-sacred to me, so I don't take my coffee of choice lightly. I have my favorite brands and tend to stick with them, but I was intrigued when I was introduced to Intelligent Blends.
Their mission is to create premium gourmet pods and save you money by offering it direct from factory to your door. They're constantly roasting and producing Fresh Coffee & Tea Pods to supply their growing community of customers on a monthly basis so you always get the best, freshest coffee & tea they have to offer!
To test the waters with Inteliigent Blends, I received two Jumbo boxes of coffee pods: Maud's Variety Pack & Maud's Flavored Coffee Collection.
I'm very particular about my coffee. I like a strong, full bodied cup of coffee that I can flavor with a creamer. If the blend isn't smooth, it's probably not for me. I wanted to start off with the Maud's Variety Pack, because it offers nine blends from Intelligent Blends' Gourmet Coffee Collection curated by 5th Generation Roastmaster, Jeff McIntosh. This special variety pack contains a delicious mix of their most popular blends, specialty roasts, plus organic blends.

I have been loving this variety pack! First of all, 80 coffee pods will last me a couple of months, if I don't go crazy. With nine different blends included, I can enjoy a different flavor every day, and never get bored of drinking the same old thing. Each and every blend is delicious. I don't know if I could pick a favorite- I love them all!
Maud's Variety Pack includes:
1. Maud's in The House Blend – This Medium Roast is an American Classic. A well balanced, medium bodied coffee with South American richness, bright enough for breakfast and rich enough for dinner.
2. Tall Dark & Handsome – This Dark Roast is a gentle, heavy bodied coffee with silky texture, sweet aroma and flavor rich with notes of toasted nuts.
3. French Roast – This coffee is roasted to a perfect dark brown bean and has delicious burnt undertones. A wonderful bold cup that's flavorful, shiny with oil and has a diminished acidity.
4. Bubbies Breakfast Blend – Light Roast delightful coffee brightened by citrus top notes and balanced with caramel sweetness. A rich and satisfying coffee for drinking all day.
