Kapé Coffee

 

Kapé coffee not only helps to build sustainable livelihoods, it is a social venture that promotes ethically sourced, farmer-first direct trade coffee with Indigenous women coffee growers in the Philippine highlands, in the Cordillera and Davao regions. With unique batches roasted on the unceded Coast Salish territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tseil-Waututh First Nations in Vancouver, Canada. 

The roast I was gifted was a limited run called, Ate Liezl Silvano, which has tropical fruit, red wine and floral notes. It is a lovely aromatic medium roast. To find out more about Kapé Philippine Coffee visit their website, www.kape.coffee or visit their Facebook and Instagram pages.  

It has been a lovely week of cake, flowers, coffee and so much more for me. Spending the end of summer, with just the right amount of autumnal coolness settling in, to keep one grounded and remember what lies ahead in the remaining months of this year.  

What Is In The Garden...

A pleasant surprise in the garden as the chocolate mint, I planted last year, came back very strong. I can not wait to pick and dry the leaves for some cooking and baking over the winter months. I honestly didn't think it would survive the winter. 

The radishes are a little slow this year. I think in most part due to the rhubarb. It seems to be taking over most of the garden space. You can tell by the big green leaf in the right hand corner. The rhubarb is massive and is ready to photobomb any chance it can get. 

We started the yellow beans in planters. They have sprung up quite quickly. My daughter was excited to see her effort come to fruition. They certainly enjoy the early morning sunshine. 

I know peonies are not edible however I just had to share this photo. As always they are blooming beautifully. The ants are furiously attacking the buds for their sweet nectar.   

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! And to all my Canadian followers Happy Canada Day! - JW
