Victoria is our coffee lady and she roasts coffee beans here on island.
While my sisters were visiting we did some shopping for items to take back to Canada and the UK. Our favourite and top of the list for must have is Victoria’s coffee. She roasts the beans here on island and her beautifully packaged coffee blends are available in many shops on Provo. A friend of long standing, the photo on her coffee label is one that I took years ago out at Malcolm Roads. We thought it would look great on her coffee labels and it sure does.
The green coffee beans are slow roasted to perfection for that oh so good cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Victoria and TCI Coffee Roasters is the first and only speciality coffee roaster on the island.
Tina introduces Victoria and her coffee to her wedding guests....each received a very special blend as a gift from the bride and groom.
Victoria’s coffee is found in many of Provo’s shops including FOTTAC or Flavors of the Turks and Caicos in the Regent Village on Grace Bay.
Althea Williams shows Eve the wide selection available in her store.
Fottac carries delicious Bamberra rum cakes which you can taste while shopping……samples are available and Althea’s rum punch is to die for. We could have stayed there all day just sampling all the edible items. Bamberra rum is for sale along with three different flavors of rum cake, mango jam, hot sauces and jerk rubs. Our guests over Christmas and New Year all received a gift basket containing Bamberra rum, mango jam and TCI Coffee Roaster’s coffee.
Althea shows us samples of products she carries in her store called Fottac.
My sister Eve told me today that she showed co-workers her photos of our beautiful islands while serving some Bamberra rum cake and coffee. It was a great success especially as it was freezing cold out side in Montreal today.
Here's Eve at Daniel's Cafe on Middle Caicos...... note the bottles of hot sauce and condiments.
We stopped in at Daniel’s Cafe in Middle Caicos for a late lunch…………amazing fresh fish catch of the day (Parrot fish they told us) with peas and rice. We simply raved over Marilyn’s tamarind hot sauce. I called her up the next day in order to buy some more so that my sisters could take them home.Marilyn made up sealers of delicious Tamarind pepper sauce for us.
Marilyn and a sealer of Tamarind hot pepper sauce that she made and brought into her shop for us.
Marilyn was at her store in Ports of Call on Grace Bay…..watch for her home made special sauces . You can buy some items at Gus’s also called Pay Less.
Chalice Ferguson at Mama's Gift's in Ports of Call shopping centre.
Last but not least are my good friends Chalice and her sister Mama. They have a wonderful store with souvenirs of all kinds and a friendly very happy type of service to their shoppers. I send all our guests at Harbour Club Villas to Mama’s in Ports of Call . You’ll find all kinds of gifts, T-shirts and souvenirs there.
Well, I know we enjoyed finding all these wonderful items in the stores on Grace Bay… most with an island flair.
Enjoy!!!!
