Since all of the proposed blends also come with a name (with the exception of No Name), I'm thinking that perhaps we should just do a single poll, to pick a blend, which would simply retain its given name. I've asked the blender of No Name to come up with a specific name for that one.

Your comments and suggestions about this approach are invited.

Sounds logical to me.

All the blends now have their own names, which will remain with them. So only one poll, which will start tomorrow, and run for 1 week. We have 10 blends itching to be associated forever with that fierce looking device in the label.
