thanks for spreading the word on the tea trading goodness
we already have 12 people ready to trade. hopefully we can get more. the latest request was someone from france wanting to join (how awesome is that!!) 😀
going to check out your other links now!
Great links. I just signed up for the tea trade–what a fabulous idea.
As for the unbranding of Starbucks–I adore Starbucks. I also like buying locally made goods. I sometimes feel guilty when I am not at a small coffee shop owned by one or two locals, so I usually go to my closest coffee shop, which is Tim Horton's.
I guess I justify it because they play up the "locally owned and operated" and "roasted right here in Rochester" aspects of the franchise.
I feel Starbucks is trying to appeal to an even broader range by doing this in a market that seems oversaturated (my feeling while visiting your city) with the chain.
I do love SB, though, and the company has done a great deal of good for others around the world.
Aw, thanks for the mention! It's not a review so much as a discussion of the packaging, but hopefully people will find it interesting.
These are some really great links! Thanks so much for pointing them out – so much info out there, it is nice to get pointed in the right direction! 😉
