You Don’t Know the Caffeination of the Dark Side
 |
?Seriously, you don’t. Neither do I. Because ThinkGeek forgot to include that bit of info when listing their new official Star Wars Dark Side Roast coffee. From the product listing:
Get a taste of the Dark Side with this rich hand roasted coffee. Three
diverse coffees and two different roasts create a full-bodied, sharp,
cup with spicy undertones and smoky, dark-roasted complexity. Vader’s
Dark Roast Coffee is commonly enjoyed by Dark Lords of the Sith while
planning new Death Star construction, but give into your anger, sample a
steaming cup and you will be rewarded with power beyond your
imagination.Product Features
- Gourmet whole bean coffee hand roasted by Stormtroopers
- Perfect for Dark Lords of the Sith… or your friends and loved ones
- Spicy undertones with smoky, dark-roasted complexity
- Coffee blend is comprised of coffees from Africa and
Indonesia. Even though these are not certified fair trade, they are
specialty-grade coffees which means that droid farmers receive a higher
price/pound, compared to exchange-grade coffees.
It is absolutely tragic how much I want a bag of ground coffee beans just because it has a picture of Darth Vader holding a coffee mug on it. Just tragic. You can order it here. (Via Geeks Are Sexy)
