They say the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup, but I know that the best part of my morning is not just the coffee in my cup. Even though I’m not a coffee fanatic, I still enjoy a nice iced mocha, cappuccino, or simply a strong blended cup of Joe. But by far the best part of my “waking up” is knowing that the coffee I am drinking is making a difference.
That’s why I’m a huge supporter of the new Support From Home ground coffee blend from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf! This medium blend coffee was created to honor our brave men and women of the Armed Forces. With its dark and distinctive taste, this coffee has “a fruity aroma and a black cherry flavor with a dark chocolate finish”; now that’s something I want to wake up to! But besides just honoring our soldiers, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf also gives back to them as well.
One dollar from every bag of coffee sold goes directly to the Fisher House Foundation; an organization that donates homes to major military and VA medical centers. These homes provide a place for family members to reside while their hero needs medical attention. Fisher House makes a promise that no family ever has to pay to stay at one of these houses.
What a great, creative way to help our troops. Hats off to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf! Our soldiers fight to protect our country and now we can help them in their time of need. I encourage everyone to buy this coffee! Our troops do so much for us that this is the least we can do for them. Now you can wake up satisfied, knowing that you are giving back to our soldiers just by drinking a cup of coffee.
To shop more products that support our troops, go the military page on Uptown Liz.
P.S. Dear Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf...please come to Sacramento.
