Snow Play Header 2Costa Rica Dota Tarrazu

I hope that each of you had a lovely holiday, and that you have festive plans to celebrate the new year this weekend.  We had a house full of guests on Christmas Day, and then two days later we gathered again to honor Grandma Caroline, who will be 80 years young in January.  Her four sons were all there to pay tribute to her strength, grace, and tenacity.  Happy Birthday Caroline!  You continue to inspire all of us here at Carolines Coffee Roasters.

Still 79--and looking even younger

Still 79–and looking even younger

Yesterday Trace and I played hooky from the store and took the kids to play in the snow. There is nothing that my daughter likes better than snow–she’s convinced that she will live in Alaska when she’s older, because “there’s snow there all the time.” We did end the day with a round of ice-skating in Truckee, but the kids’ favorite was rolling and playing and climbing in about a foot of snow above Sierra City.

I took a mug of this week’s featured coffee for the drive–our Costa Rica Dota Tarrazu. This coffee is grown in the famous Tarrazu region, and comes from a co-op of farmers who are committed to environmental sustainability and job creation in their area. You can see their website here and here. The pictures of the region are beautiful, with lush valleys and rugged mountains.

This is a sweet bean in the cup, with a fruity aroma as you sip. It tastes of apricot with a hint of vanilla, and the taste lingers more than many Costa Rican coffees. You can try a cup of this on us this week with the code new year*. And at this, the final two days of 2016, I want to be sure to tell each of you: thank you. Thank you for reading our emails, for buying our product, for supporting us, for believing in us. Thank you for your kind words, smiles, and generous gifts. We appreciate you all, and we look forward to spending 2017 with you. Cheers!
