My Thoughts

 Having a good cup of coffee in the morning is always important.  If you're looking for an awesome cup of quality, gourmet coffee for a reasonable price, you should check this amazing gift set from World Vision. . In addition to providing a tasty gourmet blend, this coffee is fair trade. When I tried this coffee, I was completely blown away.  Did you ever open a pack of coffee and you just knew it was going to be excellent because it smelled so fresh and delicious.  I couldn't stop breathing in that amazing scent.  I could tell  by the dark color and texture that it was as fresh as possible and newly roasted. I was able to grind it fresh myself and then I had to stand there and watch it brew, feeling my mouth water as I waited.  And I wasn't disappointed. It was smooth, not bitter at all, and strong without being overpowering.  Literally, one of the best cups of coffee I've ever made at home.

The gift set  arrives in a lovely bag perfect for gift giving and comes complete with a hand carved spoon perfect for scooping. It's a great gift for the coffee lover in your life. Of course, the best part of this gift is knowing that the money that was spent will be going to help underprivileged women and children around the world!
