Howdy! There are two recent things I'd like to share.

First, there is a new Festival Foods store in Hugo, MN, that is carrying our coffee. They have an expansive natural foods section and our coffee is featured both in bulk and in one-pound bags. The receiving manager has told me that customers are very happy that they no longer have to drive to the Kowalski's Market in White Bear Lake to find Peace Coffee. She has also told me that she is a recent convert to our beans.

Second, Peace Coffee has a new delivery driver -- Tom Hudson. Tom can be seen driving our bio-diesel van and delivering coffee via bicycle around the Twin Cities and surrounding area. Look for a profile of Tom coming soon in the “Peace Crew” section of our website.

What do these two things have in common? Our Twin Cities Blend. Not only is it the current favorite of the receiving manager at Festival Foods, but it's also Tom's fave. It's a great coffee to drink while enjoying cooler days and changing leaves. Colombian and Guatemalan chocolates, Sumatran spices, and a smoky finish.

Lately Anna has been bringing in food from her garden, and we have been spending time pairing tastes in food with the tastes that we find in our coffee. Bell peppers, cucumbers, apples and tomatoes have been in season. But as summer turns to fall and our local food choices change, I'd like to suggest a piece of pumpkin pie and a cup of Twin Cities Blend.

Tom also tells me that Twin Cities makes a great shot of espresso!
