Although Earth Day is still a few months away, Planetary Design is staying ahead with the newest color release of its Airscape Coffee Canister. Built on the foundation of sustainability, the stunning new green color, titled Lichen, joins seven other colors of this popular coffee storage solution. Designed to keep your coffee fresh for longer, the Airscape Coffee Canister features patented airtight technology to remove oxygen from the container — keeping your coffee from going stale and losing its flavor. Made of stainless steel, you can now purchase this durable and stylish canister in the brand-new Lichen color.

This coffee storage system’s innovative inner lid technology is designed to fit snugly against the inside of the coffee canister. Oxygen is forced out through a two-way valve when the lid is pressed down. Once the plunger is directly above the contents, flip the handle down to prevent further oxygen exchange & dramatically increase the shelf life of your stored goods! The Airscape Coffee Canister is the perfect solution to keep your coffee fresh for as long as possible and avoid waste (another important principle many celebrate as part of Earth Day).

Additionally, Planetary Design is one of the few coffee businesses built on a foundation of giving back, sustainability, and putting the environment first. For example, Planetary Design is eliminating single-use plastics from their packaging. Airscape® products will come in Cotton Refill bags and a Refill Program. The Airscape Coffee Canister is available for purchase in either small or medium sizes.

Tequila vs. vodka: Exploring the key differences between two popular spirits

Vodka

I’ve been writing about spirits for almost two decades. I’ve learned the ins and outs of every popular hard alcohol. But if you’re new to the spirits world, you might not know the differences between tequila and vodka. Tequila vs. vodka –this is especially true when both are unaged. In appearance alone, the two spirits look remarkably similar. When made with high-quality ingredients, distilled multiple times, and filtered a handful of times, both tequila and vodka are crystal clear. There aren’t any noticeable differences. The same could be said for a bottle of gin or a glass of tap water.

Once you take a whiff, the differences begin to reveal themselves. Unaged (or blanco) tequila carries aromas like vegetal sweetness, cooked agave, vanilla, and cracked black pepper. Vodka has different aromas based on its main ingredient (wheat, rye, corn, potatoes, or something else), but you can bet you find scents of neutral ethanol, minerality, vanilla, cracked black pepper, and even citrus peels.

The liquor gift guide for the man who has spirit in your life

Spirits

The holidays are some of our favorite times of the year. It is all about the parties and the get-togethers that bring everyone in your circle to the same place for celebration, no matter what your background is. That also means you have to spend significantly more time with people. And, if you are like me, most of these parties get a little too peopley for me, causing me to need a bit of liquid social lubricant. Whether you are like me, or you know someone like me, spirits are a great way to show someone in your life you care. So, here are our favorite gifts for the man in your life with spirit.
