Newer is Different!


The Mexico Chiapas is not only a great story, but it's a killer coffee! We've only had it in the building for 10 days, and everyone is loving it. Bright, complex, but when roasted to FC+ and beyond, it still maintains it's wonderful complexity. Ditto for the Brazil Chapada Diamantina.

The Nicaragua 5 de Junio is now sold out until the next shipment, on the water now, and arriving sometime in April. So...we are very pleased to introduce our Nicaragua Segovia - different, but with the same deep, mellow character you love in coffees from the region. Now available on the site - email for a sample if you haven't fired it up.

Decaf! We finally have our hands (and roasters) on the first Organic, Shade-Grown, Fair Trade and Swiss Water Process® Decaffeinated coffee on the list! We have received many requests for a decaf, and those of you who wondered "why no decaf" - this is why we waited. Same producer and production as our caffeinated Mexico Chiapas, just treated with the patented Swiss charcoal filter process to remove about 99% of the jitter juice. Why is it more expensive? The beans have to ship to the processor, go through the treatment process, and then get re-bagged and re-shipped, We try our best to keep it affordable.

All the lots from Ethiopia and Sumatra are on track, and the Costa Rica "La Amistad" and Uganda Bugishu are due in the next week.

Drink better coffee - Organic + Shade Grown + Fair Trade + Roast it all by Yourself!
