Christmas Coffee and Holiday Gifts are Here!
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 2023!” December is a great month to celebrate with coffee. Here are some of the ways we’re celebrating this year:
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 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 El Salvador Chalate. A rich and sweet Central American treat! Lively and surprisingly complex, this micro-lot coffee from Finca Buena Vista features cocoa and macadamia nut notes brightened by a splash of grapefruit and perfumed with the spicy citrus and floral notes of cascade hops. Add a lingering cocoa butter finish for a coffee that's outstanding black or add cream for an even richer, sweeter cup. Roaster's Choice: City.
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. The USPS recommends mailing Priority Mail Christmas packages no later than Monday, 12/18. We think that's optimistic. We recommend you place any order you want to arrive by Christmas no later than the morning of Friday, December 15. Earlier in the week is even better. The USPS is unmatched in reliability, but the mail slows down this time of year. We don't want anyone disappointed by late Christmas presents.
With Taking Time Off with Family. UPDATE We will be closed Saturday, December 23 through Monday, December 25, and Thursday, December 28 through Monday, January 1, 2024. Any orders we get in after noon Friday, December 22 will be roasted and mailed Tuesday, December 26. Any orders we receive after noon Thursday, December 28, will be roasted and mailed the first week in January . Happy Holidays!
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 with any two roasts of coffee. 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!
