Dean’s Beans:
Custom-Blend Coffee

 

Dean’s Beans was one of our favorites in our recent review of the best organic coffees. In addition to sending any of their Certified Organic, Fair Trade Coffee to coffee-lovers you know, you can design your own blend and have it custom labeled. It’s a great gift for any time of the year, not to mention party and wedding favors. No minimum order required.

  • Custom-Blend Coffee
    Whole Bean, $7.99/Pound

Dean’s Beans:
Java Drops

 

Dean’s Beans has made the perfect tidbit to go with that cup of coffee: chocolate-covered coffee beans! They’re terrific by themselves, in a candy bowl, or decorating desserts like ice cream (it’s time to retire the maraschino cherry), cakes and cupcakes.

Lake Champlain:
Organic Chocolates

 

If your chocolate-lover eats organic, they’ve probably tried Dagoba. Now, introduce them to the new line from Lake Champlain. European-smooth and creamy, it’s a very different style from the more rustic Dagoba. Both are wonderful, but variety is the spice of life. This tasting box provides a sampling of all the organic flavors: plain Dark and Milk plus Dark Spicy Aztec and Milk Sea Salt & Almonds.

Organic cocoa nibs coated in organic chocolate and spices provide a most delicious chocolate and antioxidant experience.  The 6-ounce metal tin is resealable to keep these little beauties crunchy and fresh for as long as it takes to eat them. The nibs make great munchies and also can be used to garnish ice cream and other desserts.
