Colectivo Myanmar Coffee Supports Relief Efforts

-
Milwaukee born and raised Colectivo Coffee seems to constantly roll out the types of charitable efforts we love at GMM, the ones men just may do, namely easy ones. Buy something, give something is usually the model here. It's a bonus when what you buy is exceptionally good, and in the case of what we promote at GMM - man-friendly. Well, for Colectivo that's fairly easy - coffee is after all universal and their products are as a rule exceptional. Right now their Coffee of the Week is  a Featured Farm Series coffee that checks all the boxes.

Buy a bag of this unique, flavorful coffee and $1 goes to relief efforts in Myanmar by way of the UN's World Food Programme which helps not only Myanmar but other areas with conflict.


When buying the coffee you are not only supporting the program, you support Myanmar's coffee production and help its economy and its people as well so it's doubly good.  A Lei Chaung, this particular harvest, is located in eastern Shan State and has 160 families who sell their ripe cherries to their village’s specialty coffee production group. 

Colectivo describes that coffee as having notes of aged bourbon, candied green apple, licorice root, and cherry cordial complemented by a thick body. You had us at bourbon.

So head on over to Colectivo and pick up a bag, they are already sold out online so you have to grab what you can from their cafes.

Hey look quick, its kids being active! It is all too common for us to bemoan the sedentary lifestyle of modern children and there are many efforts to increase their level of activity. At the same time, we condemn physical activities we once did as youths with no thought of safety. It is understandable that we want to protect our kids and promote safe practices like wearing of helmets. But how do we reconcile our concerns of safety while also promoting physical activity? One of the best ways is to create and maintain safe spaces for them to do the activities. In Wauwatosa they are doing just that with a new skate park being planned in Hart Park. With the assistance of Tosa Skateboarders United , TSU, and the  Jack Doyle Memorial Challenge Grant funds have been raised to build a new skate park that will provide a dedicated, safe place for skaters in the city to, well, skate.
