Friend of mine came over last week and while talking decided to try out a new brand of flavored coffee I received in a gift basket. We were both impressed with the flavor and started thinking up "what if" scenarios. Two days later we invited 4 other girls over for coffee (serving the same flavor) and asked if they liked it well enough to buy. All answered yes which brought us to the point of thinking about starting a home based flavored coffee business. One of the girls thought of adding dry mix packets for cakes, breads and pies.

My questions are:
1. Does anyone know where to buy coffee and dry-mix wholesale?
2. If you were doing this -- how would you package it?
3. Any other thoughts you feel would be helpful

Thanks,
