    <title>Welcome to the Velasquez Family Coffee Website.</title>
    <link>https://www.vfamilycoffee.com/node/1</link>
    <description>&lt;p&gt;Velasquez Family Coffee was started by Guillermo and Cathy Velasquez to sell the high quality coffee grown by our family and friends in the mountains of Honduras.  This ensures them a livable income and supports their effort to protect and enhance the precious cloud forest ecosystem where they farm. Velasquez Family Coffee has been featured in the Minneapolis &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.startribune.com/business/43400127.html?page=3&amp;amp;c=y&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Star Tribune&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/news/2012/12/12/minnesotas-influence-coffee-trade&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Twin Cities Daily Planet&lt;/a&gt;, and in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www1.umn.edu/twincities/faculty-staff/features/2010/UR_ARTICLE_234187.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Brief&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a publication of the University of Minnesota.

We asked Santa for his favorite coffee flavor when he comes down the chimney...and my, Santa is confused! He wanted a delicious Irish Cream coffee, with an extra (large) splash of rum and a dash(er) of hazelnut...topped with whipped cream and nutmeg. What Santa wants, Santa gets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #800000;&quot;&gt;Drunken Uncle:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Yes, we have one too….and it’s delicious!
