***GIVEAWAY CLOSED***
In my house, I am the only coffee drinker. This means that I can choose the type (caffeinated or decaf), flavor and strength of my coffee. I fell in love with coffee when I was in high school and have never looked back. To me, it is relaxing to sip on a cup in the morning and to enjoy a cup while visiting with friends. Holding onto a mug also gives me something to do with my hands instead of flapping them around. Ha ha! Well, we have just ended a wonderful holiday season and I am sure many of you enjoyed coffee in fun and delicious seasonal flavors. I also love how there are special liquid coffee creamers that take on a holiday feel as well...eggnog, hazelnut and peppermint to name a few. YUM! Well, just because the holidays are over, doesn't mean you cannot enjoy a taste of them now!
Here is a bit more about Community Coffee, which has been in existence for over 90 years and is still going strong...
For four generations, the Saurage family of Louisiana has owned and operated Community Coffee Company. In 1919, Henry Norman "Cap" Saurage discovered the secret of making this great-tasting coffee in his country store on the north edge of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He named his coffee "Community" in honor of his community of friends. In 1924, he closed the store and converted his backyard barn into a coffee mill, using coffee beans purchased from a local roaster. In 1941, Cap's son H. Norman Saurage Jr. purchased the company's first coffee roaster, having decided that Community should roast its own coffee to ensure quality at every step. A roasting plant was built in Baton Rouge in 1946.
Over the years, Community Coffee Company would take countless steps to ensure the quality of its product. In 1955, the company began importing green coffee beans directly from coffee plantations in Brazil. In 1970, a new plant was built on the Mississippi River in Port Allen, Louisiana. In 1980, Community introduced the nation's first vacuum-sealed coffee package.
The first CC's Community Coffee House opened on the corner of Jefferson and Magazine Street in New Orleans in 1995. Dozens more opened during the 10 years that followed.
It's been more than 90 years since Cap Saurage founded Community Coffee Company, but our mission has never changed – to share our passion for great coffee with our customers.
I just love reading stories like these about families who have started a business, have become successful and are still growing in popularity. To me it shows integrity, grit and perseverance...no doubt the coffee market is vast and the competition is fierce. Kudos to ANY family owned and operated company that can withstand growing competition and difficulty!!
This Season's Greetings Variety Pack retails for $34.99 and is available for purchase directly from Community Coffee's website, along with many other really fantastic gift packs!
So, in my opinion...the Season's Greetings Variety Pack from Community Coffee is a wonderful and truly tasty selection of coffees! I love how they are specifically flavored for the holidays and LOOK so festive. Although it contains seasonal flavors, this gift pack would be lovely for any time of the year as yummy coffee never goes out of season!
