Coffee Talk 101 Arabica (from Ethiopia, known from prehistoric times) beans do best at altitudes of 3,000 to 6,500 feet where the slower growing process concentrates their flavors. They have a much more refined flavor and contain about 1 percent caffeine by weight. Because of its delicate nature, it yields only 1 to 1.5 pounds of green coffee per year. This is the coffee that specialty roasters search for. It accounts for about 75% of the world production. Because the Arabica tree is susceptible to disease, frost, and drought, it requires very careful cultivation with just the right climatic conditions. Arabica has a delicate acidic flavor, a refined aroma and a caramel aftertaste.
Moose Drool - Remember that feeling? That first taste, the best part of a beer after a long day. The name sounds a little iffy, but it's really the best Brown Ale you'll ever taste. That's why Moose Drool is far and away the best-selling beer brewed in Montana. It's chocolate brown in color with a creamy texture. A malty beer with just enough hop presence to keep it from being too sweet. The aroma mostly comes from the malt with a hint of spice added by the hops. Moose Drool is brewed with pale, caramel, chocolate, and whole black malts; and Kent Goldings, Liberty, and Willamette hops. It has an original gravity of 13 degrees Plato, and is 4.2% alcohol by weight, 5.3% by volume. 
Pinstripe Red Ale - You are, however, always in the mood for a Pinstripe. Brewed with caramel malts and Liberty hops, the Pinstripe has a slight fruity finish and dance. 
True Blonde Ale - Crisp Blonde Ale. Golden in color, medium in body—she's brewed with the help and the honey of Durango 's Honeyville bees. A very light tasting and easy drinking brew. Wonderful for those hot days. Locally Owned and Operated Temptations Café is locally owned and operated restaurant in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. We look forward to meeting you.

I will be a returning customer. Thanks! Temptations Cafe displays Artwork by Teresa Moore. 
We look forward to hosting an art display for Ms. Moore in the near future.Artwork by Teresa Moore has appeared in "Miami Rhapsody" Starring - Antonio Banderas and Mia Farrow. You’ll find them in the corner of a smoky 1920s Paris nightclub, or half-hidden behind the plush red curtain at a New York theater. Teresa Moore’s luminous femme fatales smolder under the stage lights. Their sultry eyes gaze steadily back at you as a smile plays across their full, lacquered mouths. Using a cocktail palette of rich reds, deep blues, and glowing yellows, the artist creates these lush portraits set in a world of dusky glamour. Notice the defined graphic lines, sharp angles and vibrant colors of these works, which accentuate the bold sensuality of these women. Teresa Moore’s work has been exhibited in Paris, Italy, and Spain and collected throughout Europe and the U.S., and is part of the collection at the National Museum of Women in the Arts Library and Archive in Washington DC. Self-taught and painting mainly with her fingers, Moore creates an atmosphere of nightlife, good yet always alluring. Femmes fatales smolder with long-fingered hands dangling cigarettes and cocktails to their lush lacquered lips. Glamorous and vulnerable, they contemplate a noir netherworld somewhere between dusk and twilight. And these decadent dames get around. Moore’s work is exhibited and collected from New York, Miami, and Chicago to Seattle, New Orleans, Canada, France and Italy. Moore’s fiery independence shows through in these characters, who all seem to have their own checkered pasts. ©2009 Cafe In Scottsdale and its licensors, All Rights Reserved Web Design Services |
