You don’t know Johan?  Well, then check this out and you’ll see:

Yes, Johan will be at BlissDom on Saturday morning from 7-9 am to fika with everyone!  The first 200 who snap a shot with Johan will get to take home a bag of their fab Gevalia House Blend, a robust yet incredibly smooth, never bitter coffee (and even take home a bag to give away!) This Swedish-inspired medium/dark roast has a captivating aroma that is only matched by its exceptional flavor.

Gevalia’s going to make a big announcement at BlissDom too so you’ll have to come to breakfast on Saturday, meet Johan and find out for yourself.
