I've been ordering from them since Time began it seems. Gevalia is from Sweden where folks drink a ridiculous amount of coffee. We thought Americans were addicted. These guys make us look like amateurs! :)
When I was up on the site ordering some new items today I noticed they started putting up some recipes. You know me; I've got to collect them for you and me to try.
BTW, I don't get paid for endorsing this site. I just happen to have enjoyed a long relationship and good results from them for well over a decade. So, I feel comfortable telling you about them.
They always run specials and end of the year sales for tea and coffee accessories that are often quite good too. Quality merchandise and quality service. I love their teas as well.
For now, try out this chocolate biscotti recipe sure to give you a warm smile of contentment!
