The Roaring Mouse Coffee Roasters of Hart
This winter weather is perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee, tea or Hot Chocolate! Any way you like it, we have you covered! Every week we have 4-6 varieties of freshly roasted coffee, and 6+ varieties of loose leaf tea. We have added organic chocolate chips, almonds, and cashews to our line-up, just in time for holiday baking and treats! Stop by to stock up on our Dark chocolate bark with crushed peppermint sticks! This one is sure to be a winter favorite!

Check our facebook page for details on our coffee of the week.

We will also plan to bring our Guatemala FTO, Papua New Guinea FTO, Colombia FTO, and Peru Decaf.

As always, we sell our coffee by the ounce so you can get the perfect amount to use while it is the freshest. We also have gift certificates; the perfect gift for a coffee lover!
Come taste the fresh difference! Coffee is seasonal, so expect some variety. We try not to roast too much extra in order to keep the coffee fresh every week.

Our list of Teas and Chocolates has gotten too long to include here, so check out our Facebook page for the full list of what we have available.

Email us to order in advance, and we will have it bagged up and ready for you. Advance orders will ensure that we don’t run out of your favorite coffee before you get there, and speed up your shopping if you are in a hurry!
