We are kindred souls, Dear Reader, you and I. We both like good food. No scratch that, great food. Cooking it, eating it, even just looking at it.
I’m willing to guess you probably like coffee too…I know I do. (Or if not, you probably know someone who does?) It’s one of those things that just make me happy. Before I even taste it, the smell of it brewing puts a big smile on my face.
Same with you? Wonderful! I thought you might say that. This giveaway is for you.
My love for coffee is the reason I was deliriously happy (yup, that’s all it takes) when Seattle’s Best Coffee contacted me asking if I wanted to review their Winter Getaway Blend and host a giveaway. Of course I said yes. (And it’s not just coincidence that I’m posting this on Valentine’s Day; it’s my way of saying I heart you, Dear Reader.) ;)
Before I even smelled this coffee I was grinning from ear to ear. Just look at that adorable bag. (Takes you to a warmer place, doesn’t it?)
The winner of this giveaway gets a 1 lb bag of Seattle’s Best Winter Getaway Blend coffee and a $20 giftcard for Seattle’s Best Coffee. (Image Source)
The coffee itself is incredible. Bright and citrusy at first, then deeper woody notes of chocolate. Not surprisingly, it pairs extremely well with dark chocolate. For me, it was love at first sip.
I took this photo as a wink and a nod to the whimsical beachy theme of the coffee bag.
You don’t need to have a blog to enter this giveaway! To participate, you can do any or all of the following; please leave a separate comment for each so I can count it as another entry:

- Follow me on Twitter and leave a comment here letting me know. (Or just let me know if you’re already a follower on Twitter.)
This giveaway ends Tuesday, February 21 at 9PM EST; after that the winner will be randomly chosen and notified by email. Good luck to all!
