Pumpkin Spice Scores Big at "50 Plus" Expo

In keeping with Andiamo Coffee's charitable commitment to supporting community events, Maria Evangelista, Ron Costa and Paul Schleicher joined 25 other exhibitors at this years "50 Plus Expo" held at the Queens College Student Union Building on Sunday, October 24th 2004. 

Sponsored by the "Health and Business Alliance", the "50 Plus Expo" featured vendors and experts from health and business groups throughout Queens sharing information for the "Over-50" set on topics ranging from health and wellness to interior design and money management. 

Andiamo proudly served up their now famous "Midnight Special" blend, which along with the traditional "House Decaf", went over extremely well with exhibitors and attendees alike. But the real hit, as evidenced by the tremendous feedback Andiamo received, was the special holiday "Pumpkin Spice" coffee blend served at the event. People ranted and raved over the original taste and many came back for 2 (and even 3) servings, some of which were highlighted with whipped cream and cinnamon. In addition, another extremely popular item served was a "Mandarin Orange Roobois" tea, caffeine free and rich in antitoxins. Between the soothing smell of the Orange Tea coupled with the Pumpkin Spice aroma, the Andiamo Coffee table was well attended throughout the entire day. 

Company founder Ron Costa was featured in one of the vendor's "7 Minute Spotlight", which allowed him to speak on why we love coffee and how to have it custom roasted. 

The Health and Business Alliance is a not-for-profit professional association composed of dynamic individuals who represent the business community, the not-for-profit sector, and the healthcare industry, resulting in action-oriented projects and educational programs that benefit our local community. 

Andiamo Coffee is proud to be associated with the event and looks forward to exhibiting again at future community functions. Visit www.andiamocoffee.com for full details on how you can order gourmet coffee for the upcoming holidays.
