SEATTLE, Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether or not the Seattle Seahawks make
it to the Super Bowl, the nation has warmed to the team, and Canlis Restaurant
in Seattle contends it may be because of their coffee. Not just any coffee,
but a special collaborative blend co-created by Starbucks and Canlis: Casi
Cielo.
The featured coffee at Starbucks, Casi Cielo, available a short time each
year, has crossed team boundaries nationwide. Served in Washington D.C.,
Charlotte, Denver, and Pittsburgh, happy football fans have been "rushing" to
their local Starbucks to buy this famous restaurant coffee.
According to Mark Canlis of Seattles famed Canlis Restaurant, this may be
the secret reason why the Seahawks are likely to go all the way this year.
"The way I see it, we have infiltrated behind enemy lines with a Seattle
product that is so good it has softened up the fans and opponents of our
Seahawks. Its sort of like the Trojan Horse, only we have filled it with
Seattle coffee," Canlis said. "Everyone enjoys it so much they are friendlier
towards all of us way out here in Seattle. Then when they face our team, we
just roast em!"
The blend, from four-century-old farms in mountains above Antigua,
Guatemala, has been served year round at Canlis since October 2003. Casi Cielo
is available at retail in whole bean, one-pound packages at all North American
Starbucks locations through February 2006.
Now in its 56th year, Canlis Restaurant continues to set the standard for
hospitality, dining and beauty, delivering the best guest dining experience in
America. Learn more at http://www.canlis.com.
