Peace Be with You

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

 

What do you get when two cool companies collide? The perfect brew for the perfect day, and incentive to peace out in a green way. Groovy.

In less pyschedelic terms, Peace Coffee and Blue Sky Guide have joined forces to celebrate World Fair Trade Day on Saturday, May 8. For one day only (May 8, 2010) you can get a free one-pound bag of Pollinator Blend from Peace Coffee when you purchase a 2010 Blue Sky Guide – while supplies last. So shop early, savor a sample cup of the brew and enjoy the coupon savings for the remainder of the year.

World Fair Trade Day is a global event. Peace Coffee is 100% Fair Trade, 100% soul-soothing and taste-bud satisfying. They are a local roaster, making small-batch coffee for the Twin Cities. Pollinator Blend is a spring seasonal coffee with complex blending notes of carmel and ginger sweetness with a brisk, black tea-like flavor, hints of chocolate and a crisp, refreshing finish.

Sip, sigh and save with the World Fair Day one-day-only-deal! See you Saturday by the coffee pot.
