Newsy Tuesday: Happiness is a Mug of First Paw Coffee and a Coffee Giveaway!
"We are simply dog people with a passion for a great cup of coffee. First Paw Coffee Co. has been developed with adventurers in mind," states Robert. "Living in the wilds of Alaska means that we need a good cup of coffee to keep us going on those long cold dark days and nights."
Now being the coffee snob that I am, I took my time and as I opened each bag and inhaled the rich java aroma, my taste buds were already tingling! I can tell just from a whiff if a coffee is going to be good, strong, or "not in my cup!" And one whiff of First Paw brought this coffee aficionado pure joy! But, will it stand up to a taste test! In short, yes!
Hey, but don't take my word for it (but I hope you do, as my coffee drinking friends know, I only like really good coffee), Robert and Michele are offering a drawing for a set - yes, not one bag or two bags, but a WHOLE SET of their coffee blends here on FiveSibes! Woo! So be sure to go to our Rafflecopter below and enter! (Sorry, at this time shipping is only available to residents of USA).
Currently, First Paw Coffee Co. is the proud sponsor of Dog Works Radio (part of First Paw Media) podcasts that air online at DogWorksRadio.com and on iTunes (you can listen to all of our "The Sibe Vibe" shows in both places, too)!
All the blend names are (p)awesome! They are inspired by Robert and Michele's love of dogs - from sharing the trail with their Huskies to going for road trips with their pups, and also a nod to the hero working canines: therapy, police, and military dogs, and to the veterans who enjoy being outdoors with them!
Robert and Michele take great pride in personally selecting their special blends by traveling to their private roaster located in Seattle,Washington to taste for themselves before selecting and having it packaged.
The types of coffee currently available (USA only at this time) for $15/bag are:
Tail Wagger Ground Blend: "A medium roast with notes of Brazil nuts, grapefruit, and oak."
Trail Breaker Ground Blend: "A medium-dark roast from Central & South America highlighting local flavors of brown sugar, hazelnut, and plum."
Hero's Blend: "Our organic roast of Papua New Guinea origin with tasting notes of bell pepper, cedar, and lemony acidity. Enjoy a bag of Hero's Blend today and all proceeds will go towards helping our veterans explore the great outdoors through adventure."
Road Trippin' Ground Blend: "It a light roast of South America origin with tasting notes of citrus, milk chocolate, cream."
Adventure Mix Whole Bean Blend: "A WHOLE BEAN...dark roast from South America with French inspiration featuring smoky raspberry, dark chocolate, and anise flavors."
The extra fabulous thing about the Hero's Blend is not only is it named after the heroic working, military, and therapy dogs, the Forto's help veterans by giving "to local organizations a portion of our profits that provide outdoor experiences to veterans, i.e. hunting, snow machining, fly fishing etc.," explains Robert. How cool is that?!
Keep in mind the howlidays are coming up and what coffee lover wouldn't enjoy a stocking or sled full of delicious First Paw Coffee?! (A hint for anyone making their holiday gift list early - I would love a gift of this!)
Robert and Michele also have a blog about coffee on their First Paw Coffee Co. website, where not only can you purchase their coffee and also their awesome mug, but there will be periodic postings of coffee tips, recipes, and you can enter to win a free year of coffee! This page you'll surely want to bookmark! And if you pop over, be sure to tell Robert and Michele that me and my FiveSibes boy Wolfie say "hi!"

After careful mewsing and consulting the dogs we think Mom would like Tail Wagger Ground Blend as she likes a medium roast.
ReplyDeleteLayla woofs Mom needs her daily dose or she is grumpy and that coffee looks yummm and will make her happy
ReplyDeleteI love coffee so much and each flavor sounds delicious! I’d choose the whole bean mix blend. We grind our beans too.
