So the Family decided to do a goofy Kung-Fu Parody in response to some bantering between myself and Shaun Taylor at GCBC. As you can clearly see he is no match for the Sandpiper Coffee Clan!!

Gayo Mountain Sumatra Coffee is Coming

I should be getting one my favorite coffee's in the next few days. Sumatra Gayo Mountain (Organic Fair Trade). this is a special coffee that has immense body like most Sumatra's but also avoids the dirty and mossy flavors associated with the region. It replaces the Dirt and moss with spice and Citrus along with other more pleasant flavors. Plus look at the bag it comes in! I love the elephant. Anyways if you haven't looked around the site lately take a peek some of my favorites have gone and new ones have popped up and more are coming. In other words, the offering sheet is in a constant state of change.
