Trade Publications
We also write for magazines and websites not directly linked with tourism. Our work with STiR coffee and tea magazine connects us with growers, importers, roasters and other industry leaders around the world. Other publications include Tea Journey and the Oregon Wine Press.
Dan also manages the STiR website.
Below are some recent articles.
