It’s the holiday season 🎼 and for many of us that means get togethers with loved ones and traditions, all tied into feelings of celebration for many different reasons. Celebratory drinks are seen as a staple for many! Here in the US, for these holiday months, eggnog is typically that - the drink that brings warmth and fills many with that HOLIDAY feeling. In Puerto Rico, that holiday celebratory drink is Coquito, meaning “little coconut”….

We are still ecstatic about having attended our first public cupping session with Yellow Rooster Coffee Imports this past weekend! We’ve been cupping at home since the start of our journey, but with COVID and all, had not been able to attend a public session.

Greetings coffee lovers, family, friends, soon to be friends :) Here we are… watering the seed of an idea that was planted early in 2021. So many changes have been directed our way in the past few months. We are thankful in the ability to step into uncharted territories while pursuing something that we can be creative in, brings us many happy memories and we hold hope will lead us into many more happy memories. Our visions are broad but tend to revolve around care, ideas, creativity, adventure, togetherness, optimism, faith, giving back … and I’m sure we’ll keep adding to that as we go along :) We know we can’t do this alone, we hope you will join us...
