Harry
and David has been around since 1934 and it all started with a pear. In 1910,
Samuel Rosenberg traded his successful Hotel Sorrento for 240 acres of pear
trees in Southern Oregon’s Rogue River Valley. The Bear Creek Orchards were
later taken over by his two sons, Harry and David Rosenberg. Utilizing their
agriculture education from Cornell University, they started specializing in
Comice pears. Harry and David named their pears, “Royal Riviera”. After the
Great Depression, they needed to find another outlet to find new buyers and the
idea of selling pears by mail would be a great next step. In 1934, the brothers
set out on sales trips to San Francisco and New York and pitched their pears as
an ideal business gift. Their spirit still holds true today as a great business
gift and also great gifts for celebrations, house-warmings, holidays, etc.
Their brand has expanded to more than just their stellar pears, they have
confections, jams, jellies, mustards, teas, coffees, and more. We often visit
their retail outlet in Las Vegas when we are
in town to stock up on our favorite mustards and the infamous, Moose Munch Gourmet Popcorn.
The
following coffees were brewed three different ways to find the best brew method
for each: drip, espresso machine, and French press.
Vanilla Crème Brûlée whole bean coffee ($23.90 for a duo pack) is
harvested by hand and roasted in the Pacific Northwest. Tasting notes: Sweet
vanilla, crème brûlée, custard, and caramel aromas experienced; Vanilla,
caramel, and slight bitterness experienced on the palate; Cream and sugar really
accentuate the crème brûlée flavor. Drip was the preferred brew method. Rating:
4.1/5
Moose Munch whole bean coffee ($12.95 for 12 oz. bag) is
inspired by the Moose Munch Gourmet Popcorn. Tasting notes: Caramel, tapioca
pudding, vanilla, popcorn, and toffee aromas experienced; Bold, robust, vanilla
and slight bitterness experienced on the palate; Cream and sugar accentuated
the caramel and vanilla flavors. Drip was the preferred brew method. Rating: 4.4/5
