Press Release Summary = The Fundraiser Coffee Company has developed a fundraising program that is easy to use and keeps on giving all year long.
Press Release Body = Using gourmet coffee for schools and church fundraisers has the benefit of offering contributors a product they would buy anyway and it has potential health benefits (see http://www.thefundraiser.com/health.php) that other common fundraising products do not have. The Fundraiser Coffee Company stands ready to develop a program that will suit any fundraising group with personalized private label coffee bags filled with freshly ground gourmet coffee that offers a shelf life of up to one year. Mr. Paul Jensen is the President of The Fundraiser Coffee Company and he came upon the idea of using gourmet coffee as a fundraising product when he during a trip to Kenya in Africa was asked if he would be interested in importing Kenya AA coffee to the United States. Mr. Jensen had his first experience with coffee when he as a child helped his mother in her corner grocery store with grinding coffee for the store\'s customers. The basis for The Fundraiser Coffee Company program is Kenya AA coffee. Ken Davids wrote in the Coffee Review, March 1999, \"... Kenya remains the world\'s single most consistent source of superlative coffee. And Kenya is superlative in the particular ways Ameircan specialty professionals define as superlative: alive with the dry vibrant sensation called acidity, fruity without cloying sentiment, big and resonant.\" Arabica coffee bean trees thrives exceptionally well in the climate and soils of the highlands around Mr. Kenya. The beans produce an excellent coffee with good acidity. .. In general, it is a bright coffee that illuminates the whole palate. Full of complexities from spice to wine flavors. From the taste of the coffee in your cup, to the way the Kenyans run their trade, everything about the coffee industry is of the highest standard. The country\'s development and research in unrivalled. The quality control executed from the highly educated farmers ... is astounding. Everything is geared towards producing the best coffee. Does it surprise that Mr. Jensen and his wife Vibeke enjoy several cups of freshly brewed Kenyan coffee every day? Mr. Jensen has set up a joint venture with a coffee roastmaster that has 18 years experience in the business of micro roasting gourmet coffee. The coffee is roasted in small batches of 30 pounds for quality and air cooled for maximum weight.
