Espresso Drinks US Postage Stamps - Booklet of 20

Description

Each booklet has 20 postage stamps in 4 designs, each depicting an Espresso drinkThe US Post Office celebrates America’s love of coffee with four new stamps. Whether milky or dark as night, sweetened, flavored, or highly concentrated, many coffee drinks have one thing in common—they begin with espresso. This booklet of 20 stamps features four unique designs illustrating popular espresso drinks—espresso, cappuccino, caffe latte, and caffe mocha. Capturing the inviting atmosphere of an early 20th-century café, each digital illustration was created with the style of 1920s and 1930s advertising posters in mind. The names of the espresso drinks appear in art deco-inspired lettering above or below each enticing cup. Espresso drinking in the United States is at an all-time high. With the growing popularity of artisanal coffee shops, extensive research on the roasting and brewing process, and continued innovation in machinery to make the perfect cup, specialty coffee is better than it has ever been. When it comes to espresso, most Americans rely on a barista working at a coffeehouse to carefully craft their specialty drink, but at-home espresso machines are also growing in popularity. Whether a routine part of getting going in the morning or a reason to gather socially at a local café, drinking beverages made with espresso has become increasingly trendy. Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamps with original artwork by Terry Allen. Each stamp will always be equal to the current one-ounce domestic mail price.
