Hello, amazing Facebook friends,
I started a specialty coffee company that gives back. 😀
Say hello to Obulu Coffee!

We pride ourselves on roasted-to-order, ethically sourced beans while giving back to our charity partner, 501(c)(3), A Boy and His Dream, which supports underserved youth in Chicago and Nigeria. I would love for you to try it, and I have included a holiday discount code below.

We currently have ten different blends to satisfy all specialty coffee drinker profiles. Our newest blend is our Obulu Christmas Party, a medium dark roast from Central and South America. What we love about this blend is the velvety milk chocolate and nutty undertones.

Special Holiday discount code: ABAHD10

Happy Holidays!

Pick up your head from your phone and discover the beauty around you. Have a conversation with someone in the elevator rather than texting someone on your phone. Sit on a park bench and be mesmerized by the sunset without having to take a picture of it. You'll be amazed by how free you feel. Thank you to Lindsey Boggs Consulting, LLC for sharing your story. ❤️
