Love coffee? Love precious children and their families too!
We roast-to-order coffee and donate $1 from every bag sold to this month's featured adoptive family or organization working towards family preservation. Join our coffee for a cause today and change the life of a "hao bao bao" ("precious child" in Chinese)!
Welcome to "Hao Bao Bao Coffee" (meaning "precious baby" in Chinese). We are adopting another son from China and used the profits from our coffee sales to raise money to bring him home. Now our adoption is fully funded and we are supporting other adoptive families through #onemoredollaronelessorphan! Thanks for partnering with us to help bridge the financial gap for adoptive families so precious children can come home!

We had just moved to Wuhan, China and our new expat community was welcoming us greenhorns with lots of advice...everything from “always bring toilet paper” to “say ‘bu la’ (not spicy) when ordering” (we learned quickly that these two tips were lifesavers since there’s no toilet paper in public restrooms and saying “not spicy” takes the heat down from blazin’ to just plain HOT!). But after more than a few newly-found foreign friends told us to never turn down an invitation from a local friend to visit their village, we got the point.
Our first Chinese New Year approached a few months later and we were giddy with excitement that a sweet Chinese teacher at our school asked us if we’d like to travel out to her village, only about one-hour outside of Wuhan. We probably scared her with our eagerness, however she diligently wrote down all the directions from our home to hers...and in Chinese AND English. We were a little nervous about the taxi to a bus and then another bus route, but thrilled to get out of the bustle of this metropolis and experience life in the countryside.
One of the great benefits of being an elementary teacher is actually remembering all that helpful, but slightly forget-able knowledge you learned back in your early days...
Husband: "How many cups are in a gallon?"
Me: "Sixteen."
Husband: "Are you sure?"
Me, emphatically: "I made the Gallon Man seven years in a row. Believe me, it's sixteen."
Yes, I am your personal measurement Google in the kitchen. And since I'm a bit of a language nerd, I can also tell you the difference between two slightly confusing linguistic terms: simile and metaphor.
