Heroes

I'm actually not talking about the people you look up to, but rather the coffee company. Heroes however does have a bit of a heroic streak. They fair trade import all of their beans and roast them here in Springfield. Not only does that mean a fresher product for all of the coffeeshops who buy their coffee from Heroes, but it also means that coffee producers are paid a fair price for their beans.

But the awesomeness goes a little farther. Heroes was actually established to fund a mission in Mexico. The couple that founded the company were looking for a way to fund their missions work, and they decided that not only could they help coffee growers, but they could also accomplish their goal of self-funded missions.

How brilliant is that!! They have an excellent product and an excellent purpose. What could be better?

As promised, I am updating again rather quickly...I am trying to make up for not blogging in the last several days...or weeks. I was gone for a while, so that is a contributing factor to my absence. Well, here I am again. Nate tagged me in this revolving blog post, and while I have already actually done this once on my other blog, I will indulge my readers and complete this again...my answers may be different...we'll see.
