Two new Kienna Coffee Pod Blends at Wine Kitz Calgary Varsity

Posted by Steve | February 17th, 2012

Sales of Kienna coffee pods have been brisk and I can certainly say the experiment has been a success. I first started with 15 blends of the coffee pods and now I’m selling 19 kinds. I’ve just brought in Kienna Rocky Mountain & Organic Peru coffee pods. I’ve have personally tried both and was most impressed by the Organic Peru pods. As anyone that shops here knows, you are always welcome to a complimentary cup of freshly brewed coffee so you can always try a new blend before buying it. Also, we sell the coffee pods individually so you can pick up a couple from a new blend and try them out at home first before purchasing a box of 18. What could be better. It’s what keeps people coming back to us.

Since my last newsletter I had a huge rush on the Kienna Kup pod adapter for Kueurig coffee machines. I sold out but they’re on my shelves once again and only $6.99 which includes 3 Kienna coffee pods to try out at home. If you have a Keurig machine and buy a pod adapter you’ll not only expand the range of coffee that you can enjoy, but you’ll also save a lot of money because Kienna coffee pods are cheaper than Kuerig capsules. Not to mention that you’ll be supporting a Calgary coffee roaster. Now you have even more choice to Northwest Calgary.

I hope you have a great day and an even better cup of coffee.

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Very Happy New Year. I hope the holidays are a great time for you and your family. This fall & early winter have produced some wacky weather, warm, cold, big snow dump, snow melts and then we start the cycle all over again. Who said Calgary wasn’t exciting.

Last week I read an article about Kienna coffee online. They’re based in Calgary and someone from New York commented on how he had visited Calgary once in February and never experienced real cold until that trip nor since that trip. He sounded rather critical of the weather.  It made me laugh. I think we’ve got it pretty good.

Our homes are always warm and dry regardless of how bad it gets outside.

We don’t worry about hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding (a few basements by the river doesn’t count), tidal waves, mudslides,  or earthquakes. Even our snow, it’s not that bad at all. Very few trees are damaged each year and roofs are not collapsing. We don’t need to get up on our roofs and clear excessive snow fall. So what if we have to plug in our cars now and again? Big deal.

Of course there is driving. . .if driving in the snow is a problem for you, you need winter tires. All-season tires are nothing but an accident waiting to happen. For years I too thought they were good enough.

By the way, packing a couple of full carboys in your trunk is not a good way to gain traction. Just sayin.
