It’s coffee time! We are now serving freshly brewed pour-over coffee!
Fill a ceramic mug to enjoy as you shop, or get a to-go cup to keep you going through the morning.
A mug-full is $1 and the to-go cup is $3.
In the roaster this week:
Bolivia Fair Trade Organic – a sweet rich cup with chocolate notes and a bright acidity. Very good with dessert.
Ethiopia Sidama Fair Trade Organic – a complex cup with berry notes and a sweet finish. This is one of our favorites!
Decaffinated Peru Fair Trade Organic – rich and sweet, with chocolate and caramel notes. A very delicious decaf! This coffee was decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process. It is a natural, chemical free process which allows the bean to retain much of its unique flavor.
Sumatra Fair Trade Organic – Bold, earthy, with a molasses sweetness and a light acidity. This is a limited supply and is only available by the ounce.
Come taste the fresh difference! Brewed samples will be available for all coffees!
We try not to roast too much extra in order to keep the coffee fresh every week.
Advance orders will ensure that we don’t run out of your favorite coffee before you get some!
Price is $1.10/ounce or volume discount $12/12 oz bag $16/16 oz bag
