Happy Holidays!
Carrie Masek
It’s already December and the Holiday Season has begun. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, the Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa or are just looking forward to saying, “Good-bye 2020!” December is a great month for coffee. Here are some of the ways we’re celebrating this year:
With Holiday Spice. Our Coffee of the Month for December is a silky, full bodied coffee with a sweet aroma and complex flavor, lively fruit notes, Baker’s chocolate and a hint of sweet spice. Holiday Spice is available in both full roast and 1/2 roast pouches all month.
With Exploration Coffee. This month we’re featuring Organic Uganda Sipi Falls. At a City roast level, it brews into a sweet and lively coffee with lively plum and berry notes, cocoa richness and a hint of sweet spice. Organic Uganda Sipi Falls will be available in full roast and ½ roast pouches all month.
With Holiday Excellence. For a limited time only, we’re offering 1/2 roast pouches of our first Cup of Excellence coffee, Etihiopa Guji Cup of Excellence. A “practically perfect” naturally processed coffee, Ethiopia Guji CoE is intense and very complex, with a smooth, full body, jasmine aroma, honey sweetness, cocoa richness and a lingering sweet cocoa finish. Half roasts are roasted at a City roast level to highlight floral notes. Take full roasts darker for an even sweeter, richer cup. A holiday treat to enjoy yourself or share as a gift with the special coffee lover in your life. Please don’t wait too long. We were only able to buy a small amount of Etihiopa Guji Cup of Excellence and 1/2 roast bags will only be available through December 14 (or until we run out).
With Coffee Gifts. Share the coffee you love! Whether it’s a 9 oz pouch for everyone on your gift list, a roast of your favorite single origin coffee for a special coffee lover, or a Coffee Club Subscription for a gift that keeps on giving, coffee makes a great present. Don’t know which coffee to choose? We also have Gift Cards.
With Taking the Hassle out of Your Holiday. Order coffee gifts and let us mail them. Just send us the list of names and addresses (along with who should get which coffee), and let us know when you’d like the coffee to arrive. Please remember to click on We Mail YOUR Gifts, to add postage for the extra addresses (the first one is included automatically) and we’ll take care of the rest. Please allow us a few extra days to process your order and to give the USPS extra time to deliver it. We’re suggesting customers place their orders by December 14 to ensure their gifts arrive before Christmas.
With Taking Time off with Family. We will be closed for Christmas. Any orders we receive after noon on Christmas Eve will be roasted and mailed the following week. Please order your Christmas coffee early (by December 14, if possible), so you have plenty for Christmas morning.
With Sharing Coffee. To thank you for reading this blog, we’re offering a FREE 1/2 roast of Holiday Spice with your first order in December. Just write “December” in the box for Additional Instructions. We’ll include the 1/2 roast at no extra charge. Sharing coffee is our favorite way to celebrate the holidays!

Have a healthy and happy Holiday Season!
