In the never-ending race to stay young Nestle thinks that baby-boomers will buy into the belief that their new coffee can bring back young looking skin.

A few weeks ago  Cameron Clement from SIlver Joe’s Coffee contacted me about sending me some samples.  I am always glad to get coffee and tea…so of course I said sure.

Celestial Seasonings has been one of my favorite grocery available teas for years.  As an artist I really love their packaging, and as a *greenie* I love the organic/Fair Trade mentality.  This is a warm, fuzzy company if I ever saw one, and I know that somewhere there is someone at Celestial Seasonings wearing birkenstocks and an organic cotton shirt, and reading 19th century poetry.
