There are many wonderful benefits of coffee and tea!

- Coffee and tea taste good.

- They warm you up.

- They help you make practical use of all those mugs you get from friends, loved ones, colleagues, and for promotional purposes.

- They give you a chance to show off your “World’s Greatest Dad!”, “World’s Greatest Mom!”, “World’s Greatest Grandpa!”, “World’s Greatest Grandma!”, “World’s Greatest Disco Dancer!”, or whatever mug.

- Coffee and tea fill your home with delicious aromas.

- Coffee and tea get you up in the morning.

- Coffee and tea drinking fulfills that New Year’s resolution you made about exercising more. Yes, you power walk to your kitchen pantry. You stretch and reach for the coffee or tea. You pull out the drawer that holds your tablespoon if you make ground coffee. You pull open the coffee bag or tear open the pouch holding the tea bag.

If its coffee you are making, you reach into the coffee bag with your measuring spoon and scoop out your coffee. You lean over to pour the grounds and water into your coffee maker. You rest between sets while you wait for the water to drip. You pour the coffee into a mug.

If its tea you are making, you heat your mug of water. You dip the tea bag into the heated water and steep it.

Finally, you stretch and bend your arm as you sip every delicious drop.

Coffee and tea are good! Order some from SammySocks Etc.!

About Fara Coffee

Fara Coffee produces and exports shade-grown, handpicked gourmet coffee. It has been growing 100% SHG Arabica coffee beans on their family-owned farms in the mountainous rainforest of Matagalpa, Nicaragua for five generations.

Fara coffee is exported from Nicaragua to Austin, Texas where they roast each batch with special attention. In order to achieve top quality and consistency, the coffee beans are carefully processed to preserve their full body, bright acidity, and exceptional aroma. Fara proudly oversees each step of production, from planting to roasting and packaging. Fara Coffee's priority is to ensure their customers will taste quality and care in every cup.

In 2004, Fara Coffee raised the bar for itself — with a proactive objective to have the most environmentally sensitive and socially responsible coffee fincas in all of Nicaragua. Through the Fara Foundation, they give 100% of their proceeds back to the people of Nicaragua in 4 main ways: healthcare, food assistance, education, and eldercare. Furthermore, they prioritized Rainforest Alliance certification to reinforce their aim to conserve ecosystems by protecting healthy soils, rivers and wildlife and promote dignified living conditions for farm workers and neighboring rural communities.
