The Monastery Monks Who Have A Coffee Label

Picture this: A man in a long white beard with long white hair, dressed in a black cassock and a big silver cross. This is Father Tryphon who lives on Vashon Island and heads a small group of Russian Orthodox monks. They also have their own coffee label called "Monastery Blend Coffee."

I am quoting, again, from Wikipedia:
 "One of the few Russian Orthodox Monasteries in America is located on Vashon Island. The monks gain notoriety years ago when they were threatened with a lawsuit by Starbucks for promoting a monastery coffee labeled "Christmas Blend," which Starbucks claimed they owned the rights to. The lawsuit was eventually dropped." www.vashonmonks.com/index.php 

Sounds like God was on the side of the good Father!
