I got a nice little surprise package in the mail this week. My sister-in-law and my mother-in-law were shopping in one of their favorite stores and happened upon something to make my day. Isn't this mug just the cutest?  If you're a mug-maniac like yours truly, you can never have too many mugs. There's always room for one more and this one will have a special place in the cupboard (when it's not on my desk). Every time I drink from this, I'll think of family, friends and love.  I think the man upstairs would approve, don't you?

I woke up in a giving mood.  Actually, I woke up very excited to try the Ethiopia Hambela coffee that Fonté Coffee sent me this week to review. They take micro-roasted hand crafted coffee quite seriously.  Roasted upon order.   If you'd like to experience this "limited" offering of Ethiopia Hambela from Fonté Coffee for FREE*, enter HERE ! Today might be your lucky day.   *Giveaway ends at Midnight PST on October 25, 2015. From Fonté Coffee : We’ve been proud to feature dry process Ethiopian coffees as a consistent part of our coffee offerings. Continuing improvements in the drying and sorting of these coffees have brought us intensely aromatic and fruity cups with little to no off flavors of ferment or of immature cherries. Our latest edition of these fine Ethiopians is from the Oromia Region at the intersection of the Harrar and Sidamo growing areas. The coffee comes from a single family farm, Hambela, which was created from a grant to the family....

Peet's Lelisa Halo Cooperative Limited Edition I don't know if Beyoncé drinks coffee, but if she does, I'm sure she'd write a song about this limited offering from Peet's. Lelisa Halo Cooperative with "hints of pomelo and sweet granite melon," is the medium roast I'm "vibing" with right now.   I bought a half-pound last week and literally had to ration myself because I wanted to drink it all - in two days!  Forget about sharing.  But since today was Sunday, I started feeling guilty and went back and bought another half pound to share. So good that I can't even find the words. An heirloom single-origin Ethiopian coffee.  18.95.  Get it now.  It won't last.  Enjoy it while you can.
