Gratefully, Christy
Most of you know that I LOVE my coffee! The heat of summer doesn’t do anything at all to slow me down, either because I just mix up iced coffee then! When the folks at Seattle’s Best contacted me and told me they had special blends to make the most delicious iced coffee, I was a bit skeptical. I couldn’t understand how a certain blend would make better iced coffee than another.
Well Folks, I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!
I tried both of the iced coffee blends using the cold brew method (click here for an easy way to do that) and have been in coffee paradise ever since! I have been keeping a two quart pitcher filled with concentrate in my refrigerator and treating myself throughout the day. Seattle’s Best has me officially spoiled – and you deserve to be, too!
There are two special blends specifically made for the best iced coffee around. I am addicted, in a big way.
We also enjoyed the Seattle’s Best Blend brewed hot to get our morning started! I really love my coffee.
As a special treat for Southern Plate readers, Seattle’s Best is giving away THREE of the coffee sets pictured above!
Each set includes:
Saturday’s Blend is the late summer blend currently being promoted in cafes and online. The sharpness of East African coffee gives it a complex, layered flavor that is delicious hot, while the natural sweetness of Latin American coffee makes it the perfect summertime refreshment over ice.
Beach House Blend is our early summer blend sold exclusively in cafes and online. It has been a summer favorite since 1998 and is delicious brewed hot or served over ice. Made from a blend of Latin American coffees, Beach House Blend has a refreshingly mild citrus flavor, a sweet, delicate aroma and a smooth finish.
Seattle’s Best Blend is our best-selling and award-winning blend at Seattle’s Best Coffee, offering a bright flavor that we have been perfecting since we came onto the scene in 1970.
With these iced coffees, Seattle’s Best is taking the mystique out of coffee house concoctions and bringing it home to you in a much more affordable way. While people are cutting back on other things, you can actually indulge more by cold brewing your favorite coffee concoctions at home.
To enter this giveaway, leave a comment below and tell me how YOU like YOUR coffee! THREE Winners will be chosen at random on Friday!

I love coffee hot or cold with sugar and cream! I have a cup before work and on the first break. The cup is just never big enough!!!!
In the winter I keep the pot going all day. In the summer I usually keep it to one…but have been thinking of trying your “cold brew”. This sounds like something else from your website that I’ll be getting addicted to…you have gotten me hooked on quite a few things!
The 3 ways I like my coffee are 1)in the morning 2)in the afternoon, and 3)at night!
I like it hot and black.
Iced coffee in New England is a BIG deal. I’ve been in Florida for 47 years and it’s just been in the last few years that iced coffee has gotten popular in this neck of the woods.
Give me a tall glass of strong iced coffee with some 12/ & 1/2. Delish!!!
Have tried your cold brew method and it works!!!!
I love my coffee….in fact, I have a hard time taking a weekly pill when I have to wait half an hour afterward to have coffee! But I’ve always liked it hot, strong, and black. And brands do make a difference. I’ve never cared much for iced coffee, but then, no one ever told me that I could put bittersweet chocolate in it….now THERE’s something to look forward to.
Me? I’m pretty plain and simple. I like my morning brew hot and mild, with a bit of sugar and cream. Nothing better.
