Haloween magic is in the air... Also your coffee cup!

Carrie Masek

October is a great month. The weather is crisp, the leaves turn beautiful colors, and the month ends with Halloween magic. October is also a time of harvest and abundance. What a great month for one of our favorite Coffees of the Month, Black Magic!

A sinfully delicious dark roasted coffee that is sweet, bold and complex, Black Magic is a bold way to start the day and a great coffee to enjoy with Halloween treats. Black Magic will be available in both full and 1/2 roast bags all month.

Our Exploration Coffee for October is Colombia Cauca Vino Natural. A unique treat from the mountains of Cauca. An anaerobic, naturally processed microlot, Balanced, intense and complex, with a sweet, fermented fruit aroma and complex flavor: Ripe persimmon soaked in brandy and covered in dark chocolate, followed by a lingering fruity wine finish. The quintessential anaerobic coffee! Roaster's Choice: Full City. Also, a wonderful contrast to Black Magic and is available all month in both full and 1/2 roast bags.

If you’re like me and sometimes want delicious coffee flavor, but can’t handle caffeine in the evening, try out our incredible Organic Decaf Mexico El Triunfo. With all of the flavor, none of the buzz. An organically certified decaf coffee, smooth, sweet & lively with a rich, balanced flavor featuring malty sweetness and almond richness. For lively flavor & no caffeine, try Decaf Organic Mexico El Triunfo at a light roast. Enjoy your favorite single origin coffees anytime of day.

Our favorite Halloween treat is great coffee. What’s yours? Are you nostalgic for Bit-O-Honey and caramel apples, or do you head straight for the pumpkin spice? Please share your thoughts on the Facebook thread or in a comment on this blog.
