We made it to February!
Carrie Masek
January ended in a deep freeze, but at least here in the Midwest, the weather is now getting warmer. A good thing, too! There’s a lot going on in February, a month known for grumpy groundhogs, parties, parades, and, of course, Valentines Day. It’s even Black History month! That's a lot of excitement for twenty-eight days!. Whether you want to wake up your favorite "groundhog," savor a Cafe au Lait, or share coffee and chocolate with your Valentine, we have the coffee for you!
For a bold coffee, perfect for waking your favorite “groundhog,” or blending with steamed milk for a Mardi Gras Cafe au Lait, try Midnight Treat, our Coffee of the Month for February. Rich, bold and complex, Midnight Treat is a smooth, heavy bodied blend that gets any day off to a bold start. Available all month in both full and 1/2 roast pouches.
For a lively counterpoint, check out Costa Rica La Montaña, this month’s Exploration Coffee. A smooth and silky microlot from Tarrazu, our favorite growing region in Costa Rica, the 1/2 roast pouches are roasted to a City roast level to heighten gentle lemon and floral topnotes, toffee sweetness and the rich, nutty finish. Costa Rica La Montaña will be available all month in both full and 1/2 roast pouches.
February is the month of love, and in celebration, we're declaring our love of coffee every day until February 14 with coffee-themed Valentines. Join us on our Facebook page or here on our blog for Valentine’s to some of our favorite coffees. We’ll start with a Valentine to all good coffee:
Hot and fresh poured in my cup,
With every sip, you wake me up.
Your bold, rich, flavor taste's divine.
Oh coffee, be my Valentine
