One of my favorite things about attending vendor markets is discovering other amazing small businesses. That's exactly how I found Ikigai Bold at one of the many vendor events we've attended in Charlotte, North Carolina.
As a coffee lover, I couldn't walk by without trying a cup... and I'm so glad I did!
From the very first sip, I loved the rich aroma and smooth, delicious flavor. But what stood out just as much was the customer service. Cristina, the owner, is incredibly kind, welcoming, and passionate about what she does. To me, supporting small businesses with great products and wonderful customer service is always important. 🤍
Needless to say, Ikigai Bold has become part of our morning routine. We drink it almost every morning!
One day while Cristina was vending, she was offering samples of her iced coffee. She had it already prepared and kept perfectly chilled in an insulated coffee dispenser. She told me she simply brews the coffee and mixes in a little La Lechera Sweetened Condensed Milk before chilling it. It was smooth, creamy, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Let's just say... I may have gone back in line for another sample... and maybe one more after that. 😂☕
After falling in love with their coffee, collaborating on a gift box just felt like the perfect fit. Their delicious coffee pairs beautifully with our handmade ceramic mugs.
