The Coffee and Tea Festival
Well hello again and welcome to the latest installment of the Coffee and Tea Festival. How are you? Things have been busy with us and Cafe Evoke Catering which - yes again - is my excuse for this festival not being posted on time. Here we go...Michelle Sweeney presents Tonic Gifts: Tonic in a Teapot! posted at Tonic Gifts. Michelle gives us a nice history of tea in all shapes and forms and then talks a bit about a new offering that they have. Not a bad read although I would normally not include a post about selling a product - because of the history portion, I decided it was ok. Everyone has heard by now, I'm sure, about "the memo" that came out on the 23rd of February. StarbucksGossip printed the memo when it was leaked to them that caused many comments and blog posts about it. Brand Autopsy has been posting quite a few posts about it and trying to get to the bottom of what it all means. My opinion? I probably won't get into it but I do think that the things he says are interesting. I would love to see the group get back to its roots - my thing is that will it leave behind its faithful? They built their brand and did a great thing for American coffee. We will just have to keep an eye on it and see what happens. Another big situation that Starbucks has been in the middle of is the Ethiopia conflict. I posted about it a few days ago. If you have been hearing about it but do not really understand, head over to one of the three links on that post to get a full view. Each of those places has more on it now than they did when I posted that. Well, that will do it for this weeks edition. Thanks to everyone who submitted and please keep the posts coming. The more we get, the more we can all get to know each other and these great industries. If you find anything that should be included, please pass them along! As always, you can submit your posts with this fantastic little form or click on the ad on the left side-bar of this blog. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.
