We're all more than ready for springtime this year. Fidalgo Coffee Roaster's delicious, flavorful coffee sustained us through the cold months. But now it's time to put the frigid weather behind us and wade through drifts of vibrantly hued tulips, as we sip a java made just for spring.

The 2022 Skagit Valley Tulip Festival has begun. It's a wonderful seasonal celebration that takes place each year in and around the towns of Whitney, Fredonia, Mount Vernon, Burlington, Avon, and Skagit City, in the state of Washington. Locals love the festival and many visitors from across the continent make a trek to see the tulips an annual springtime ritual.

“Where flowers bloom, so does hope.” This optimism is attributed to Lady Bird Johnson, former First Lady of the United States.

Hope is energy. Hope opens the heart, mind, and soul. Emerging science tells us that hope even makes us healthy. Hope is so vital, April has become the “National Month of Hope.”  So, take a sip of coffee, clear your mind, and visualize a new situation, whether it is about your health, a relationship, your career, or the dreams of your heart.

Irish legend says that each leaf of the clover has a meaning: the first is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love and, if you can find a 4-leaf clover, the fourth leaf represents luck.

You are a “fourth leaf” to us here at Fidalgo Coffee. Thank you for your monthly coffee subscription and for being a member of our coffee community. We are lucky to have you as our customer and aspire to be like a good Irish friend to you: never above you, never below you – always with you.

A light-bodied, dark chocolate-colored coffee, Koma Kulshan has the wonderful aroma of cocoa, caramel, and milk chocolate. A perfect accompaniment to tiramisu, it also goes well with buttery scones, chocolate croissants, and chocolate truffles.

We Wish For You –

. . . Every morning to feel the excitement of a new day, fresh with no mistakes.

. . . A profound appreciation and joy for the simple pleasures in life.

This song from our childhood came from a poem written by Joseph Parry who was born in 1841 and passed away in 1903. Perry's message of friendship is especially relevant to us as we celebrate the Holidays with you.

What’s fair trade? The fair trade price is paid at origin by the importer to producers. Here’s a look at what happens behind the scenes with fair trade/organic coffee:  

The market is currently trading above the fair trade minimum for the first time in about five years. But let’s look at it from the fair trade minimum to get a picture of what it looks like for the producers:  

Joy is a short word that packs a lot of punch. Dictionary.com defines joy in this way: the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying.
