Today is #nationalgirlscoutday so in honor of that, I decided to revive my little corner of the web. 🙂 This is the 7th year I have done this pairing chart, which is mindblowing to me. Over half the cookies are also vegan, which is even more mindblowing 🙂
I am going to try and be more present here. I really miss doing coffee tastings, and I miss sharing my thoughts with all of you.
Three years ago, I made a little coffee and cookie pairing chart. I decided to refresh this to reflect our current offerings!
