As we spend today giving thanks to the things that we have in our lives, Downtown Campbell would like to give thanks to all of the friends, fans, and patrons that we have. Thank you for your continued support for our "Little Downtown that Could" because that really is what we are.
People are always surprised when they learn how little we have to work with. We do not have the things that most other downtowns have. We do not have an office. We do not have any full time employees. We do not have any stable funding. When we buy stuff, we're not sure where to store it because we don't even have a permanent place to put it!
Despite all of the challenges that we face, Downtown Campbell continues to be a draw for fun activities, community gatherings, and a night out on the town. The events that we produce usually sell out and the events organized by our friends at the City of Campbell and the Campbell Chamber of Commerce also thrive.
We don't have a lot of advantages in being what we are, but we do have a couple of things. What we have are a lot of friends and a "culture of doing stuff". Downtown Campbell is a community of many characters and organizations who work well with others and like to make things happen. This is something that's truly unique and is something that we're grateful for everyday.
Thank you for supporting us and we hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
P.S. Please remember to Shop Small with us this Saturday and beyond!
Meet Melissa! She’s the very first customer at the newly opened Manresa Bread Cafe in Downtown Campbell. She's enjoying a latte on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day while waiting for her pastries to be ready.

You don't need to wait until the Sunday Farmers' Market to get your fix of world class bread and pastries anymore!

Oriental Beauty Oolong (Bai Hao Wu Long) also known as White Tip: cultivated around Beipu in the Hsin Zhu District of Taiwan.
This is a heavily oxidized oolong (50-70%) that is not roasted. What makes it special is an insect, the leafhopper (Jacobiasca formosana), that eats the leaves. This stems the growth of the leaves and also changes the color of the leaf to a parma-violet tint. After the leaves are dried, the edges turn white where the insect has gnawed on them. Because of the change in chemical composition, the resulting notes are woody and fruity after oxidization. It is possible to count dozens of notes.
The leaves are plucked only in summer, when the insect is active. No pesticides are allowed anywhere in the vicinity because of the value of the leafhopper. In 2006, a Jin (21 oz.) of Oriental Beauty sold for nearly 50,000 Euros!
