fresh flavored coffee - Autumn Brew, to be exact
a local company with a quality product I am thrilled to support.
Except for the first one (love that little guy!), all the others are clues for the giveaway today. Can't guess? Then I'll just tell you:
One of my readers will receive a pound of fresh, organic fair trade coffee from Orinoco Coffee & Tea!
Orinoco is a local coffee roasting company that provides high quality coffees and teas to area stores and coffee shops. I was first introduced to their coffee when they opened their own shop right in my town a couple years ago. Unfortunately, the shop had to close, but I was excited to learn recently that I can still find their beans at Mom's Organic Market (incidentally another local company I love to support!). If you live in the greater Baltimore area of Maryland, be sure to check them out!
Orinoco isn't just for the locals, though. Anyone can order their delicious coffee through their website . And, of course, you can enter to win a pound of their Organic Fair Trade coffee.
Orinoco generously sent me a sample of their Autumn Brew flavored coffee, the base of which is Brazil Santos, a coffee with very low acidity, which I love.
It tastes creamy and smooth, with hints of the spices and flavors of autumn that linger after the last sip. Delicious! If that sounds good to you, too, you may want to check out their newly-released Christmas flavored coffees (I've already hinted to my DH that I'd love to find one of these in my stocking;).
The coffee that I am giving away today, though, is a Viennese roast from their Organic Fair Trade line . Orinoco is a certified organic handler and processor by the MD Department of Agriculture, which requires them to handle all the organic coffee in separate grinders and bins to prevent it from ever coming into contact with non-organic coffees. The Viennese roast is a darker one than the one I sampled, but not as dark as a French or Italian roast would be. If you, like me, are not a big fan of those really dark roasts, this is the coffee for you!
This coffee could be yours! All you have to do for the mandatory entry is visit the Orinoco Coffee and Tea website, then come back here and tell me which of their coffees you'd love to find in YOUR stocking (then let your loved ones know :wink:!).
If you really really want to win, here are a couple additional options (only valid after mandatory entry, and only one entry for each option):
