Flora Flor-Essence Gentle Detox
An organic, herbal purification tea that provides a nourished, spring clean for your body.
— Brandy L., Columbia City
Luke Wahluke Slope Cabernet Sauvignon
My go-to wine, the kind that makes you lick your lips with every sip. Rich and luxurious.
— Jennifer B., Fremont
Fauxmage Olives and Rosemary non-dairy
The best brie — always perfectly ripe, not too pungent. Wonderful texture and flavor. A great treat for a celebration or just to indulge.
— Lisa K., Kirkland
Siggi’s Icelandic-style yogurt (skyr)
I like the plain very much, high in protein, low in calories and I think it could replace sour cream for me. I eat one a day.
— Gregg H., Edmonds
Schmidt’s Naturals deodorant
I was in love with my last natural deodorant and was convinced nothing was better, but I was hooked on Schmidt’s from day one. In a blind smell test it won arms up!
— Jess L., office
Cobb’s peanut butter cups (bakery department)
Bite-sized, not too sweet, and the dark chocolate is the perfect amount of bitter. It’s local, raw and sweetened with honey — everything I want out of my desserts!
— Ruzielle G., Columbia City
PCC dark roast coffee
I drink a lot of coffee and try new stuff nearly weekly but I can always tell when the PCC dark roast is back in the rotation at home. Dark and chocolaty — I love it.
