Ed's father served in Vietnam and fell in love with the coffee there. It isn't impossible to find but can be difficult. While he was here for Christmas I discovered that they have a website you can order directly from. Orders over $75 qualify for free shipping. While that seems like a lot, the prices on the coffee packages are pretty inexpensive. Most blends are $10 or under/pound. I just ordered a new batch of coffee, and they have a bunch of free samples you can choose from for orders over $10.

Also, if you are a coffee dork like my husband, they also sell the Kopi Luwak coffee. What is Kopi Luwak? Well, I believe it is the most expensive coffee in the world. It is coffee that has been previously digested by a weasel. Yup, weasal poop. Evidently the stomach enzymes of the animal have broken down any bitter elements in the coffee and released new flavor compounds. Sounds like a fun birthday present, but I probably won't be spending $64 on a cup of coffee any time soon.

Hi Amy Dear~~ Well, I LOVE your blog and I'm an official follower. Thanks for adding little ole me to your blog roll. You're a sweetheart.
Okay, so... weasel poop. Even with Ed's coffee dorkiness, one has to draw the line somewhere. LOL. I'll be interested to read your assessment of the coffee order when it arrives.
