Beans of Motivation is a subscription that sends 1-3 full-size bag(s) of freshly-roasted artisan coffee beans, along with a motivational bookmark. Each month, they feature a different small-batch coffee roaster. Subscribers are able to select which coffee they’d like or let the curators decide. Subscriptions start at $15.99 per month.

We got 1 full-size bag of 12-ounce whole bean coffee.

The inside cover of the box provides some info about the growing and production conditions of the featured coffee, tasting notes, and some brewing guidelines to get the most out or your beans.

A bookmark also is included in the box, featuring a famous quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt about leadership.

A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor.

Eleos Coffee El Salvador Calera White Honey Vista Hermosa ($14) This featured coffee bean from Eleos Coffee was grown by The Valiente family & Small Holders in El Salvador Metapan, Santa Ana at 1,500 meters above sea level. The ink smeared, but I can see it was roasted on 7/25.

The beans have a light and relatively even roast.

Here’s a closer look at the coffee beans. They’re very smooth and lovely, with a clean, floral fragrance.

Here’s everything in my month’s box!

To achieve the coffee’s best taste, it is recommended that the coffee-to-water ratio be 1:15 and be brewed at a temperature between 195-200°F.

I loved the light body and mild flavors of this coffee! It was very drinkable, and it had a lot going on with an interplay of almond, honeyed sweetness, and floral and fruit notes. Though it’s not robust enough to want to serve over ice, the light profile still tastes very pleasant once it’s cooled.

This is my first Beans of Motivation Brewed Box and it really surpassed my expectation. This month’s featured coffee tasted great, and the beans were roasted perfectly with an enticing aroma. I also loved how they’ve included an inspirational quote, what a great way to start my day!
