If there is one constant in life, it’s change. While some may fear change, it makes life exciting and keeps us on the edge of our seats. That’s why we’re excited to announce some significant changes around here. What are these changes then that we speak of? (record scratch)
One of the fun challenges is to offer a wide variety of coffee to accommodate your tastes and interests. Coffee is one of those subjects where there are strong opinions about what is “good.” Some prefer dark roast, while others only drink light roast. Others like bright, fruity, and acidic coffees, while others prefer nutty, chocolatey, milder ones. Luckily, we’ve got you covered (except we only do light roasts).
I’m excited to bring our Brazil Salmo Natural to you.
In the midst of a frustrating past week dealing with a stolen and now recovered van, there has been a huge bright spot … YOU! Sure, the van thing was annoying, but it’s not the end of the world.

Why do you drink coffee?
Coffee is an agricultural product. More than that, the coffee “bean” isn’t actually even a bean. It’s a seed from a coffee cherry. Like anything in agriculture, there are various growing seasons depending on the location. Therefore, when sourcing green coffee, we rotate through different coffee based on what is available and from where. That is why I’m excited to share our latest coffee offerings with you.
