Vermont Gourmet Coffee

Got Coffee?

Winter is definitely here in Vermont! We have lots of snow, school closings, and ski season is well underway at Stowe, Jay Peak and Smuggler's Notch. The view out the window of our roastery is like a Christmas card. Well, a virtual Christmas card enhanced by the smell of roasting gourmet coffee beans and my own mug of rich and smoky Guatemalan Antigua coffee.

We have visitors here at Brown and Jenkins from all over the country, and abroad, who share their lives with us, and we share our gourmet coffee with them. And, here in Cambridge, we are finding more and more ways to get involved and give back to this vibrant and unique community of Vermonters.

I've shared, in past blogs, some of the organizations I'm passionate about and that we are involved in here at Brown and Jenkins. Later in the year, I'll tell you about Pie for Breakfast! Isn't that tempting?

I know how lucky we are to be here in the Green Mountains where skiers and children are enjoying the snowfall, and homebodies sit by warm fires with scenic views. Whether you're in a winter wonderland, or some where warmer, let's all enjoy what we've got, and look for ways to spread the joy of 2010.

Weird Coffee Facts- I read that Cindy Crawford uses coffee beans to get rid of dimples on her thighs! Now that's a dry rub recipe I've yet to try!

Until our next cup,
