So my parents love coffee. They drink a ton of it every day. But they buy the cheapest bulk coffee they can find. When I travel (which I do a fair amount of) I try to bring them back a bag of coffee from wherever I’ve been. Normally they make really nice noises about how good it is but I can tell they’re just being nice because I’ve carted it across an ocean and into the middle of nowhere Wyoming and that they don’t actually notice a difference. But for the holidays I bought them a subscription of the awesome coffee club. I could tell they were a bit skeptical when I talked their ears off about how much better it was gonna be bc of how much care went into the selection of the beans and the fact that the growers were paid well and that they were actively fighting deforestation and that all the profits went to decrease maternal mortality in Sierra Leon (all the good stuff that you already know about by being the unpaid intern of course). However, when my dad first made it, my mom came down stairs and asked him “what did you do differently today, this coffee is so so much better than usual??” And I felt vindicated. So I think I’ve got them converted. Thanks for making their days better (and mine, but for more entertainment reasons, as a non coffee drinker)😊
This is the happiest story! You have helped your dear parents to see the light of better coffee that benefits the world’s poorest people. This makes me overjoyed. Thank you. Also, please say hello to your parents in Wyoming for me.
Also: Awesome Coffee really is THAT good. Nobody is paying me to say that it’s good. That’s the great thing about being an unpaid intern. It just IS good.
