Caffeine is the fuel of life. Or if not, at least the fuel of MY life. I can’t operate well without my morning coffee. I’m a big fan as well of Colombian coffee, to be quite honest, and I’m more of a fan if it’s grown by small farmers. So I was thrilled to hear that Juan Valdez Coffee was launching in Vancouver. I asked for more information about Juan Valdez Coffee:

In 2002, the FNC established the Juan Valdez Café coffeehouse brand, named after Colombia’s longtime icon and a household name in North America. It wasn’t long before the popularity and demand of the Juan Valdez Coffee brand and coffee beans grew, and a retail brand was created for consumers to enjoy at home. Selected from Colombia’s finest beans, Juan Valdez Coffees contain beans that exceed specific industry standards. This insures that every cup of Juan Valdez coffee consistently delivers great taste, every time.

Juan Valdez represents more than 500,000 coffee-growers. With his trusted friend Conchita always by his side, his mission is to symbolize the proudly kept traditions of those hard working men and women, who pick every bean by hand and are 100% committed to their families, their communities and the environment. Since 1959, Juan has been promoting Colombian coffee all over the world and ensuring that the most discerning consumers can always enjoy a cup of the Richest Coffee in the World.

I’m giving away a Juan Valdez Coffee gift bag, with a coffee cup and coffee for your consumption. And a picture of Juan Valdez himself! To enter my giveaway, tell me how many cups of coffee a day you consume. I used to drink only one cup a day, but after I entered graduate school, coffee and I became best friends. Until I realized how much of a water footprint it had!
