Coffee Experiences
So, while writing that little piece on Intelligentsia , I came across the archives for some of their past ads. So good. Some of the most edgy ads I have ever seen for coffee. Some are really old school – totally look like they are from the 20s or torn from a comic book. The ads feature religious humour, historic references, and even an Alice in Wonderland tea party spoof. My favourites are the “monkey” series. Here is one:

Coffee around the world
The topic of Intelligentsia Coffee beans has come up a couple of times in my reviews, so I thought I would read a bit more about the company to see what it is that makes them so good.
Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea, Inc. is a Chicago based company whose main goal is to “buy, roast, and serve the finest coffees available.” Maybe not the most unique goal, but perhaps one of the few companies who live by their premise. Intelligentsia buy the green coffee (the fruit seeds – raw coffee) from growers and importers who have socially responsible policies. Their coffee buyer, Geoff Watts, travels extensively to form and maintain these relationships and to extensively cup (taste test) the bean samples. They roast the beans daily in a German roaster.
I think the combination of choosing the best green beens, keeping an eye on the quality of the beans, and a care for the roasting process has developed a really excellent quality of coffee. I only wish they had a closer location. I am sure the coffee that is roasted daily would just be so much better than the week-old variety we get in Vancouver (though, to be sure, it is still a superiour cup). I have heard rumours that a closer roasting location is in the works. Looking forward to it.
The website has an extensive collection of information about the production of coffee, the process of cupping, and much more.

It’s colorful, blue, red, yellow, pink, purple, orange and white.I saw some coach colette collection balloons and butterflies in the sky. I ate popcorn, cornflakes, banana and lollipop.

To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild fllower, Chanel handbagHold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
The pure.the bright,the beautiful,That stirred our hearts in youth,The impulses to wordless prayer,The dreams of love and truth;The longing after something’s lost,The spirit’s yearning cry,The striving after better hopes-These things can never die.Adidas shoesThe timid hand stretched forth to aid A brother in his need,A kindly word in grief’s dark hour That proves a friend indeed ;The plea for mercy softly breathed,When justice threatens nigh,The sorrow of a contrite heart- These things shall never die. Let nothing pass for every hand Must find some work to do ;LV handbag Lose not a chance to waken love- Be firm,and just ,and true; So shall a light that cannot fade Beam on thee from on high.And angel voices say to thee—These things shall never die.
