No fooling, it's already April!

Carrie Masek

Happy April Fools Day! Even with Covid-19 complicating everyone’s lives, April is still a fun month. It starts with jokes and gray, chilly days and ends with flowers and the promise of Spring. Even if you might get fooled on this day of trickery, you can always prepare yourself with a reliably great cup of coffee!

Our Coffee of the Month for April is Cloudburst Blend. A creamy coffee with citrus topnotes, toffee richness and lingering chocolate finish. Lively enough to brighten the grayest spring morning, smooth enough to enjoy all day. Cloudburst Blend will be available in full and 1/2 roast pouches through the month of April.

For a sweet start to your day, try our Exploration Coffee for April, Organic Uganda Sipi Falls. This is a gentle, sweet and lively African coffee. It is both Organic and Rainforest Alliance certified and features a medium body with lively plum and berry notes, cocoa richness and a hint of sweet spice. We recommend it at the relatively light city roast (or if you feel tricky you can do whatever you want). Organic Uganda Sipi Falls will be available in full and 1/2 roast pouches through the month of April.

Finally, to thank the readers of this blog, we’re offering a FREE 1/2 roast of coffee with your first order of the month. Just write, “April,” in the box for Additional Instructions, and we’ll include a 1/2 roast bag of Cloudburst Blend at no extra charge. Sharing coffee is our favorite way to celebrate the coming of Spring.

Are you finding ways to celebrate Spring despite the pandemic? If you are, please share your ideas on the Facebook thread or in a comment on this blog. Or, if you'd like to share your opinions with the wider world, leave us a coffee review on Google or on your favorite review site. Not only do we value your opinions, but reviews help more people find us. Help us connect coffee lovers to fresh, quality coffee!

Thanks!

Take Care and Stay Safe.
