Valentine's Day Giveaway for Coffee Lovers! -- ENDED

The phrase "Mommy Needs Coffee" is one that Winchell Mountain Coffee, an artisanal, family-owned coffee roaster based in New York State’s Catskill region, takes VERY seriously.  However, just because owners Will Rivkin and Allen Ricca take the art of coffee seriously, they didn't think their coffee needed to look so, well, SERIOUS!  Proving that their coffee LOOKS as good as it tastes, Winchell Mountain Coffee is pleased to introduce their exclusive Sandra Boynton Coffee Collection -- witty, playful and smile-inducing on the outside, caffeine-fueled bliss on the inside.  A beloved cartoonist and children's book author for well over 40 years, Sandra Boynton's wry humor and legendary characters are perfectly matched with 15 varieties of hand roasted coffees with names like "Expresso Overdrive," "Not a Morning Person,"  and "Bob's Diner." 

To celebrate cupid's favorite holiday, Winchell Mountain Coffee is sharing some caffeinated love with a limited edition Viennese roast "Valentine's Day:  An Affectionate Blend." A great gift idea for the coffee fanatic, "Valentine's Day" and the entire Sandra Boynton Collection is available in markets and cafes across the country and online at www.winchellmountaincoffee.com.   

Did I mention that owners Allen and Will take their coffee seriously?  Some quick facts as to why their coffee is truly something to be experienced -- for the foodies and coffee obsessed!:

* They use beans from all around the world and will not accept a shipment until that harvest has been sampled repeatedly, both in its raw green form and in its roasted form. 

* With these carefully selected beans, they create exclusive blends like the more rare single origin coffees called yrgacheffe. Yrgacheffe is a region of Ethiopia and rumored to be where the first coffee bean came from. 

* They roast their coffee in the old old-world tradition, only utilizing heat and hands 

* They are obsessed with quality and will throw entire roasts away if the beans are not sampled perfectly.

* One-way goglio valve bags vacuum pack the beans so consumers are guaranteed the absolute freshness.  Using this technology there is no air whatsoever entering the beans to spoil their integrity so the bags have a healthy shelf life of up to six months. 

Our review:

Although in the past years I gave jewelry, chocolates, candy, candles to friends, family members and teachers for Valentine's day, I have never considered giving coffee and coffee mugs as gifts for this fun holiday before. Now that I have tried some of Winchell Mountain Coffee, I am definitely considering picking up some more of these coffee as gifts for DD's teachers at school as well as some for my in law's. The coffee are packaged very well (with cute Valentine's Day theme colors and images) and I thought they tasted really great as too. I know that I would have loved gotten their coffee as gifts for myself, so I would not hesitate to give them as gifts also. If you are in the market for some coffee, be sure to check out Winchell Mountain Coffee.
