Friday Fun – caption the photo to win a Machu Picchu gift set!
posted at 10:58am, 29 Jan 10 by Siobhan [ 22 comments ]
Yes, its that time of the week again…Friday Fun!
Today we have a photo for you to caption below. Kevin brought Machu Picchu, his favourite coffee, with him on his trip to Peru when he met some of the farmers at COCLA who grow this 100% Fairtrade & organic coffee. He also saw the coffee growing around the Inca trail near the ancient site of Machu Picchu where the Incas lived in close harmony with nature.
We like to call this photo ‘Machu Picchu goes home’. If you can come up with a better caption you might win a prize!
Machu Picchu goes home
The rules are simple:
Think of a creative caption for this photo and post it to the comment box of this blog post.
You have until 5.30pm today to post your caption.
The winning caption will be chosen and announced on Monday on our blog.
The chosen caption will win a Machu Picchu gift set (of course!) along with some Divine Chocolate covered mangos for you to enjoy with your cuppa! ! (Prizes can only be sent to a UK or Ireland postal address.)
Update:
Some of you maybe have seen the news headlines about landslides in the Cusco area of Peru. We work with farmers in the local area whose coffee goes into our Machu Picchu products. We’re currently getting in touch with them to get an update from the ground and will post any news when we receive it.

Just before Coffee and Mug noticed that the kettle was seriously over-boiling
Cup to bag, in a Glaswegian accent:
“Just CUZ COffee from Fairtrade has a lovely strong flavour, doesn’t mean you’ve got to be so Macchu, Pichu”
Kevin decided to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Machu Picchu Aztec Style!
