What they (SLM) need is some effort at, and I'm sorry to sound like a broken record, BRANDING. Their logo is horrible and it looks cheap: http://sierralasminascoffee.com/
Contrast that with the cool, modern logos on eg Roast at Kingsland Farmers' Market: http://www.roastcoffeeandtea.ca/ |
My problem with Vie is that I've never been convinced that their staff is of the same quality as their stuff. I've had a few surprisingly unimpressive coffees there.
