12th Fan Coffee - Seattle, WA

Superbowl is over, but the heat from the Superbowl is still not gone when visiting Seattle. Seattle is the city of coffee, and the home to the Seahawks; there is no doubt that "12th Fan Coffee" is a big hit.

When you walk in the town of Seattle, you see the number 12 in color of blue and green all over. For people who are not familiar with football, you might wonder what this means. The number 12 represents 11+1 where 11 is the number of the players in the team and 12 represents the "fan" supporting the 11 men on the field.  Seattle is known to be one of the most passionate NFL fan base, and hence you see 12 all over the city using color of blue and green representing that they support the team. Coffee is no exception.

12th Fan Coffee, Blue Thunder Blend

Seattle Gourmet Coffee now sells 12th Fan Coffee which they label as Blue Thunder Blend.   It is six bean blend that is roasted quite dark. People from Seattle have tendency to prefer darker coffee, and this surely is a very well roasted coffee that attracts local fans.   

Seattle Gourmet Coffee is a family owned business from Kirkland (city within Greater Seattle Area) started out as espresso stand and now a large wholesale distributor.  If you are in Seattle, you do often see the name, and they do roast fine coffee.   12th Fan Coffee is also a very nicely blended dark roasted coffee which I would love to have in the morning after a nice heated game.
