Coffee Of The Week
Colombian Huila San Agustin
There may be no greater joy than adding a daughter-in-law that you love to the family. Last weekend Will and Amanda got married, and we are so excited to have this hard-working, kind, and beautiful woman be a part of our lives. It is lovely to see their joy in each other, and it was a delight to get to witness their commitment. They’re a perfect couple–but I might be a little biased. They care for one another and for all those around them. I wish them all the best as they continue life’s journey together.
The rest of this week has been back to the usual mix of baseball and ballet. Well, sort of baseball–we go watch the games, but Jack is out for another few weeks. On Tuesday night after Jack’s game, he gave Archie his old tee ball jersey and hat–and you have never seen a more delighted two year old. I think Archie has worn that black Giants shirt every time I’ve seen him this week, and I’ve been told that he even goes to bed at night cuddling it. He loves “Jack Fike baseball.”
It has been a while since we featured a San Agustin Colombian. This week is our Colombia Huila San Agustin, and it’s a delicious smooth and creamy drink. It is a high grown bean, from the south of the country. A group of thirty-five farmers came together to improve their coffee production, and formed the Proyecto San Agustín. They also work with an export company, Lohas Beans, which has helped them access the specialty coffee market.
In the cup this has milk chocolate tones, and it’s easy to drink–smooth as a creamsicle. You can try a cup on us this week with the code below. Keep reading for a snapshot of Liz, who is taking a leave from working here because she’s a new mom! She and her husband welcomed Nora to the world about six weeks ago. She is one of the newest mothers of my acquaintance, and this Mother’s Day week seems like a great one to feature her. Happy first Mother’s Day Liz! And to the rest of you mothers out there, around the world, and to all of you women who mother others, thank you. We appreciate you.
However you spend your weekend, drink good coffee. Cheers!
