Sorry I haven't blogged the whole last week. Sunday morning after my cup of coffee, we went out to a pic-nic in Central Park. As we walked out of my building, there were 15 fire engines and a crowd of people outside the building. The building right across from me got fire, real fire, like TV news fire. My friend's car was parked across the street, 14.5 feet from the fire hydrant. She got a ticket. We did not know what to do, there were people in stretchers, a lot of curious trying to find out what happened me and the dog!!!!We ended up going to out pic-nic before knowing the car was all right, but seeing all those people without a home, who cares about the car right??? Even the coffee was out of my mind for a while.
Then on Tuesday we travelled to Virginia to visit with the roaster. We had a great visit with him, and found out he can make flavored coffee for us at Joy Brazil. So soon we will be offering flavored coffee as well.
Americans love flavored coffee, the issue being is that in order to add flavor to the coffee, one doesn't need such a good coffee bean. The coffee itself will disappear in the flavor, so we need a not so good coffee to flavor. We have been trying to get some not so good coffee from Brazil and it has been very hard.
What we found out is that people are holding their coffee inventory in the hopes that coffee prices go up....so now we have gasoline prices going up as well as coffee....Economics working its way !!!!
