Science Confirms: The More Coffee You Drink, The Longer You Will Live

I would like to dedicate this newsletter to the memory of my father who passed away yesterday morning. I'm grateful to have been able to visit him last weekend.

While we didn't always see eye-to-eye, he was a great supporter of my endeavors and always loved reading these newsletters. It was a great connection for us since we were separated by 3000 miles. And, he loved the coffee!

This week has been eventful in other ways as well. After returning from my trip, upon my arrival at the shop,  I had the nice surprise seeing some motorcycle cops have discovered our coffee. I feel like we are now legit! :)

As you know, Valentine's Day is next week. Bestow has collaborated with Sweetheart St. Johns and Bohemian Salt in creating some special Valentine's Day packages. To see the options and place your order, go towww.sweetheartstjohns.com or call 503.208.4395. 

Jessica is at The Alberta Street Coop today, sampling our coffees from 11 am - 2 pm. If you're in the area, please stop by, sample some coffee and pick up some organic fare.

I read an interesting article on my flight last weekend that supports the health benefits of drinking coffee. I invite you to check it out.

Planning continues for the joint show of Ted Mishima and Francoise Weeks on Friday, February 20th from 6-9pm. Many of you have noticed the posters on display in the shop. Names will be drawn and six lucky people will get to take one home with them the night of the show. Don't miss it!
