JANUARY COFFEE NEWS

New Year - New Look
Here at the top of the year, we are excited to reveal a new look to our newsletter AND our website . You can check it all out below.

But first, our usual reminder that we'll be doing our January coffee deliveries on Friday, January 13. If you live (or work) in Minneapolis or St. Paul and some suburbs, we can add you to our free delivery route. If you don't live in these areas, we're happy to mail coffee to you. Just get your coffee order to us before noon Wednesday, January 11 by contacting us at coffee@vfamilycoffee.com or ordering through our website. Our next delivery date will be Friday, February 10th.

Happy New Year from our family to yours.

This Month:
New Year - New Look
The fresh new look of our email newsletter is thanks to a partnership with the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD). This fall, we had the opportunity to work with four students in an Entrepreneurial Studies class at MCAD. They did market research, data mapping and customer surveys for us. They also created this beautiful new Mail Chimp newsletter template and offered several great social media marketing recommendations that we'll be rolling out in the coming months.

New Website
We have also been working hard to finish our new website and are pleased to be able to launch it this week as well. The design is fairly basic, but it is fresh and clean and fully functional. And mobile ready - finally! It also does a great job of showcasing the video we received last spring from the coffee farm.

The Velasquez family gathered on January 1st to celebrate Doña Natalia's 89th birthday complete with her own piñata. While we wish we could have been there in person, we were glad to see photos through Facebook! In case you didn't already know, Guillermo's Mom is the namesake for our Natalia's Vienna Roast coffee.

HOLIDAY FLAVORS

As we enter 2017, we still have a decent supply of our holiday flavors for you to enjoy! 

Bonfire: Sweet, creamy icing swirled in spicy cinnamon and fresh bread...an amazing aroma wafting from your cup...very reminiscent of grandma's Hot Fresh Buns...perfect for chilly nights (and mornings) to warm you up!

Chocolate Hazelnut Cream: Rich Honduran beans combined with sharp dark chocolate and rich nutty taste of gourmet hazelnut. This special brew is a perfect holiday treat.

Confused Santa: Is it March? Is it December? We asked Santa for his favorite coffee flavor when he comes down the chimney...and my, Santa is confused! He wanted a delicious Irish Cream coffee, with an extra (large) splash of rum and a dash(er) of hazelnut...topped with whipped cream and nutmeg. What Santa wants, Santa gets.

Drunken Uncle: Yes, we have one too….and it’s delicious! Picture yourself around the fireplace basking in the soothing tastes of Kahlua and Irish Cream laced with Gran Marnier.

English Toffee: A tad of caramel, a touch of chocolate, a spot of cream, very British, very buttery, very good.

All five of these flavors are available in 8 oz packages, whole bean and ground and in limited quantities of decaf for $7.50. (Our regular flavors continue to be available during this time as well.) 

This paper, developed by the Sustainability Council of the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) explores potential impacts of climate change on the coffee world, work being done on mitigation and adaptation strategies, and recommendations for how all stakeholders in the industry can participate in building a more resilient coffee sector.
