The leaves are past their peak and we've had our first flakes of snow here in the Green Mountains of Vermont. But, warm and cozy here in the roastery, with a mug of Glenn's recent batch of Apple Crisp Coffee in hand, I can enjoy the coming cold. (Flavored coffee is perfect when there is a chill in the air.) The last couple of weekends offered perfect apple picking weather up here. Now, however, it's time for us northerners to turn our attention to our wood-stoves and sealing up those windows for the long winter ahead.
Along that line, local schools have children signed up for flu shots to try and keep our whole community healthy. What do you do to stay healthy during the long winter? Around here winter sports at Smuggler's Notch and Stowe ski resorts are popular. Then again, some of us just try to eat healthy despite the lack of those fresh local veggies we enjoyed in the warmer weather. (Take a look at the coffee health fact below for a java related health boost!)
However you approach this change of seasons, I hope you look at it as the start of something new and exciting: holidays and family time, a chance to hunker down and enjoy your home, or maybe to try some new activity for the first time. If nothing else, stop by our Vermont coffee roastery and you can try a new coffee flavored especially for this special time of the year.
Gourmet Coffee Health Fact
The antioxidants in coffee are directly related to the roast level. Medium roast coffee is proven to have the most antioxidant benefits. Dark coffee has less, even though it shows that deep rich color. Adding milk will not affect the antioxidant levels of your coffee which are higher than even a serving of blueberries!
Until our next cup,
