In spite of the downturn in world economics, coffee remains the number one drink in the world and next to oil, the second largest export. The desire to experience exotic coffees at home has resulted in a plethora of on-line E-commerce sources such as Friendship Blends that drop ship gourmet coffee direct to customers’ specified destinations.
Coffee shops, on the other hand, have always had their own culture whether as neuvo-riche-type philosophical discussions over a Demitasse or after-practice soccer moms slurping down their Frappes covered with whipped cream and chocolate drizzling. This culture can vary from location to location and differ according to time of day; the price of a cup can vary from "that's a little high" to "WOW, maybe I shouldn't!".

Gourmet coffee delivered direct can be as exciting as one wants it to be. Anticipation begins to build as Winter yields to transitory March and you eagerly await the return warmer weather ushered in by April showers. A respite from the hubub of getting the house and yard ready for Spring, Easter, and Mothers' Day which can also be a way to get back into the swing of things with friends and family is a Share the Taste party....Order in a variety of whole bean gourmet regular coffee, gourmet decaf coffee, and sugar free gourmet flavored coffee (don't forget the chocolate flavors!) to grind and brew on the spot. For those who do not prefer coffee, offer Big Train Chai, and Dr. Smoothie fruit purees Yum-m-m! Serve along with biscotti, European-style cookies, Scottish scones, shortbread, and other exotic treats with a salad tray and a tray of fresh fruits - and - at the end of a fantastic evening, offer some special whole bean coffee for your guests to take home.
