We will announce the winner on Wednesday.

What will you win?

Some yummy Costa Rican coffee (or another tasty option if you don’t drink coffee!)  We had the opportunity to go on a coffee tour a couple weekends ago- very educational.

Did you know that the best coffee beans are perfectly round?  Beans are sorted out to produce different grades of coffee.  Many coffee companies in the US sell coffee that only has a small portion of the best grade mixed with the mediocre grade.

After the tour, we did coffee taste tests (just like the experts!)
