Santa must surely tire of all that milk set out for him with his cookies. And with the long hours of Christmas eve deliveries, what could be better than a nice cup of rich, dark coffee?
And so you will need to know where best to find those bags of delicious beans to brew the perfect cup for Santa (and your other Christmas guests). So here's a little list. You can check it twice before you leave the house, just to make sure that you stop in at one of the following locations to pick up you Ometepe beans on Salt Spring.
If you are on Salt Spring's south end, it's easy to pop into the Mercantile in Fulford Village for your bean fix. They have so many goodies there you might just leave with more than beans. Careful that you don't develop an addiction to their giant gluten free peanut butter cookies!

If you are in Ganges and looking for your Ometepe beans, you have a couple of choices. You can find both bulk beans and bagged beans at Nature Works. You might even like to get creative and mix your own blend of medium and dark beans or make a half caff, as a friend of mine does. And there's no shortage of treats lining the Nature Works shelves to go with that coffee, just in case.

And the latest addition to the places you can find Ometepe beans is Country Grocer. If you happen to be on a grocery run, what could be easier than to just buzz down the coffee isle in Country Grocer and toss a bag of your favourite beans into your basket. Dark, medium and decaf are lined up tidily on the shelf.

In Victoria you can find your beans at Global Village in Market Square. We recently had a lovely note from a faithful Ometepe customer in Victoria that read as follows:
"I have been drinking Ometepe Dark as espresso for over 15 years now. It is still the best coffee I have ever had. As far as I know the Global Village Store here in Victoria is the only local retail outlet. In fact I ended up volunteering at the Global Village Store (a Fair Trade store) for 10 years because of Ometepe."
If you've got your own Ometepe coffee story, we'd love to hear it! Stop by our facebook page and share it with us. Wishing you all a happy, coffee flavoured holiday and new year from the volunteers at Ometepe.
