"like a child" by jars of clay
Fair Trade Wicked Winter Blend- This is a rich blend that is meant to be enjoyed slowly. It works well on its own or with food (especially chocolate). I really wish I could get it in beans, it would be perfect in the french press.

"tomorrow still come" by will dailey
Special Reserve Colombian Flor de Cauca- These beans have an amazing aroma of chocolate, black cherries and a hint of amaretto. Brewed, this is an incredibly smooth Columbian blend. It's perfectly roasted and balanced. I highly recommend it.
Superstition [Listen-up]
the awesomest (yes, that is a word) part of this song is the fact that there is no one else playing an instrument off camera. the whole sound that you are hearing is all being played at once by this dude. it's called fingerstyle, and i want to learn it.

"your body is a wonderland" by sam dearmond
fair trade organic espresso blend- a shot of espresso has a lot more going for it than a kick of caffeine. something about the rich, bold flavor warms you from the inside like a snifter of brandy. this blend balances that great espresso flavor with the drinkability of a delicious cup of joe.

"long road to forgiveness" by jason mraz & brett dennen
fair trade golden french toast- this coffee is an integral part of four of the best things in life: lazy sunday mornings, jason mraz on my ipod, breakfast in bed and a ginormous mug of coffee... so perfect together. all the perfection of french toast, in the convenient vessel of a mug; the rich butter with hints of egg finishing with maple syrup.

"i saw the light" by todd rundgren
fair trade organic ethiopian yirgacheffe- "coffee can be traced back to as early as the ninth century, when it appeared in the highlands of ethiopia. according to legend, ethiopian shepherds were the first to observe the influence of the caffeine in coffee beans when their goats appeared to "dance" and to have an increased level of energy after consuming wild coffee berries. from ethiopia, coffee spread to egypt and yemen. it was in arabia that coffee beans were first roasted and brewed, similar to how it is done today."
these beans are a tribute to the humble beginning of the brew that i love so much. the sweet flavor of chocolate dipped orange rind lingers with each sip, and the slightly smoky roast balances the sweetness perfectly. rare perfection that can only be found at the source.
Mission Accomplished.

'america's song' by will.i.am, david foster, faith hill, bono, seal & mary j. blige
CLICK HERE for free mp3 download via oprah.com
In 2006, Obama visited Kibera, Kenya, one of the worst slums in all of Africa. As he came to the village, children from the outskirts of town, seeing him approaching, turned and ran to the village center, chanting, “Obama biro yawne yo! Obama biro yawne yo!”
“Obama’s coming. Clear the way.”
