I ask you, if you can give a man a fish and feed him for a day, why wouldn’t you buy him a coffee plant so he could drink coffee for a lifetime?

I think this is cool, being the green-eco-freak-sustainable-living-homesteader-coffee-addict-Donna-Reed-wanna-be that I am I am trying to figure out if I […]

It is easy to plan a themed menu for the Red Hat Christmas Tea. If you have vintage tiered trays use them because they really look beautiful but use what you have if you don’t. You can place plates on top of an overturned stemmed glass if you want to add height […]

I had the absolute fun of creating a Red Hat tea in my tearoom a few years ago. These ladies are always such a fun bunch!
Anyway, since Red Hatters span the globe but really good tea rooms are not always available I thought I would share some ideas on hosting a special […]

I was not real sure what to expect with this tea. I just happened to see it at the grocers and snagged it because it sounded sort of romantic and victorian. I like Numi teas because they are Fair Trade and Organic, and I have always been pleased with them. Standing right there […]

Thanksgiving Coffee Company is distributing alot of coffees of note, in my opinion. One that I am the most amazed at is Mirembe Kawomera. In Ugandan this means, a delicious peace.
This coffee is raised by a cooperative of Jews, Muslims, and Christain coffee farmers. No worries about slave labor or child labor […]

I love the pumpkin spice lattes. I honestly liked the maple macchiatos better but Starbucks discontinued it, at least in our area, and I turned my attention to the pumpkin spice lattes.
I get them with extra whipped cream. Yep. Extra. I only have one a week and I want it to be over -the-top…and it […]

cLatte, please. McSkinny, to McGo.
Well, they Mcdid it. McDonalds is planning on taking on Starbucks.
I’d like to say it was like David and Goliath but I am afraid it is more like the local catering truck trying for a Michelin star. McDonalds has announced that they will be adding a full coffee bar […]
