Once upon a time, there was a lonely bear who wanted nothing more than to live at peace in his abandoned gold mine, and to taste the magical elixir humans call ‘coffee’. Alas, without opposable thumbs and precision brewing equipment the bear could only weep into his stylish, yet rugged enamel mug.

“I would give anything for a single cup of coffee” said the bear forlornly. No sooner had he uttered those words, than a mysterious man emerged through a dense cloud of steam. “I have heard your plea” declared the man through the strands of his beautifully manicured beard, “and have come to reveal to you the wonders of coffee.”

After carefully testing the chemistry of the mountain water, the bearded man began a strange & complicated ritual which released an intriguing aroma of dark chocolate. When the ceremony was complete, the bearded man offered the rich, dark liquor to the bear.

With a quivering paw, the bear reached out to accept the cup. As the sweet notes of maple syrup & hazelnut praline filled the bear’s senses, his mind was transported to memories of eating fresh honey as a cub. Overwhelmed by the experience, the bear offered this friendly bearded man a nugget of gold from his suspiciously large stash. The bearded man smiled and replied, “I don’t do this for reward; however, I will use this bounty to help sick kids & their families”.

After a warm, but manly embrace, both the bear and the bearded man made a pledge – that from now on, this delicious coffee & helping children in need would always go hand in paw.

Store in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight, in a cool dry place. Simple.
