Ginger, the spicy root that is.
You must try two new treats. The first is a chewable treat called Gin-Gins. My favourite is the chewable peanut butter/ginger flavour. We brought in quite a few different types. Some are hard candy and we have other chewable flavours. Highly recommended.
The second must try is Mapleton Ginger Ice Cream. An instant hit.
Better stock up for Christmas before they are snapped up.

No, Mocha Java is not a flavour. It is the world’s oldest coffee blend.
The popular mythology is that some Java coffee beans got accidentally mixed with Arabian beans. This happy accident as it turned out, created a much sought after blend.
Nowadays, the word mocha often refers to chocolate or the addition to chocolate to various flavoured drinks. The true Mocha refers to the ancient Arabian port of Mocha which has long been silted over. Mocha’s association with chocolate is attributed to the type of coffee bean in the area that has natural chocolate-type flavours.
Recreating the world’s oldest coffee blend was a bit of a challenge as our mandate is to offer only fair trade organic coffee (FTO)at our store. There are many organic beans that aren’t fairtrade and vice versa, however we are sticking to our mandate and are only sourcing fairtrade organic (FTO) coffees.
Our interpretation of authentic Mocha java is basic and simple. 50% Ethiopian Harrar Longberry and 50% Sumatra Gayo Mountain roasted to the verge of 2nd crack. All beans are FTO.
Give it a try. We are introducing this blend at only $12.99/lb.
(alas, our introductory sale is now over. The regular price is $14.99/lb however our price is just $13.99/lb for all of our FTO coffees.)
