Coffee of the Month 

Reminisce about the last honeymoon,

or plan a second one,

all over a superb cup of coffee. 

Tropical Honeymoon 2

No matter how you celebrate it, include a pound of coffee created just for that second honeymoon.  The mellow chocolate tones and delightful hints of fruit will set the stage perfectly, whether you're actually there or not!

Why Order Directly from a Roaster? 

•  Freshness - Coffee begins to age as soon as it's roasted.    After two weeks the flavor begins to lose its vitality, and after one month you can definitely call your coffee old.  The best you can hope for, even when packaged correctly, is about one month.  We roast the highest grade beans and ship them within 24 hours so that  you have the freshest possible coffee in your cup. 

• Individuality- Over-roasting causes each coffee to begin to taste similar.  The only way to distinguish the fruity highlights of an Ethiopian coffee from the milk-chocolate sweetness of a Columbian is by roasting it just enough to fully roast the bean, yet not so much that the flavor oils become scorched and you're left with the same smoky, charred flavor for each type of bean.  We roast each bean to its optimum roast level, bringing out the region's "terroir," processing style, and unique flavor.

• Variety - There are great beans from all over the world: Rwanda, Uganda, Peru, El Salvador, Timor, and Australia, just to name a few.  When you buy from the supermarket or the national conglomerate, you are limited to the areas that can sustain mass production.  These may or may not be the best quality or the most interesting.  We order green beans from all over the world, depending on where the best coffee is, not for any other reason.

It's Just Coffee, Right?

     Coffee is more than a shot of caffeine in the morning, although it certainly is that.  It fueled radical iseas in the coffeehouses of France, culminating in the French Revolution.  In the 1960s it inspired innovative world views as the counter-culture's more productive cousin.  And to this day, in continues to launch a thousand loves as sweethearts meet over a casual cup to talk, dream, and gaze into each other's eyes.  More importantly though, it's what you shared with your roommate every morning to catch up on campus news, it's what you brewed to cap off that perfect romantic dinner, and it's what you sip on to gear up for another day.

     This simple roasted bean becomes a powerful mood-setting force when ground and mixed with hot water.  The aroma conjures up images from our subconscious we didn't even know were there, and the taste becomes the comfort food of all comfort foods.  It is the energy we turn to for warming upconversations, for generating ideas, and to focus our thoughts; all without losing our faculties... or going to sleep.  We use it to get us going, highlight and punctuate our days, and make us feel more alive.
