Well, if you like good food and good wine, then you HAVE to like good coffee!  Personally I LOVE good coffee and I have to have the beans, grind them myself.  Nothing like the smell of freshly ground coffee. I have always loved good coffee….but, my real LOVE of coffee started on my first trip to Rwanda.  I never knew Rwanda had good coffee, but man do they ever.  You just don’t know about it for any number of reasons, but most of which is this tiny country just doesn’t have a very strong export mechanism YET. And, all the coffee is farmer grown, then brought to a co-op, then sold.  Very amazing. I saw it with my own eyes; farmers (lots of women too!) bringing their coffee beans to co-0p.  Anyway, I started at Bourbon Coffee which is the Rwandan Starbucks. I highly recommend it.  If you visit Boston on a hockey trip, you can find one near Harvard Square. There are only two more in the USA – Washington DC and Manhattan.

However, no need to fret if you can’t get your Rwandan coffee fix soon….I have a solution!  My good, good friend, in hockey and in life (!) started her own hockey roasting business called Ohiopyle Coffee Roasters. I convinced her that she NEEDED to sell Rwandan Coffee.  Not only does she now buy Rwandan free trade coffee in bulk, she roasts a KP blend!  Trust me, it’s good!  So feel free to reach out to Ohiopyle Coffee Roasters on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and just ask for the KP Blend!!
