June: Graduations and Summertime Need Some Party Coffee!
Carrie Masek
Summer is hitting fast in Northern Illinois. It’s that time of the year for graduation parties and summer celebrations. Whether it’s an early Barbecue, or a family reunion, an excellent coffee is an important part of a perfect party plan. June is a great month for celebrating with coffee!
Our Coffee of the Month for June is Cotton Candy Coffee, a lively breakfast or brunch coffee as bright as a summer morning, with a spritz of citrus that melts into a clean, refreshing finish. Cotton Candy Coffee will be available all month in both full and 1/2 roast bags.
If you want to explore something new and exciting, try our Organic Dragon. An exotic, complex coffee from Flores, the land of Komodo Dragons. It is naturally processed, Rain Forest Alliance certified and organic. Sweet & complex with a malted barley aroma, smooth, silky texture & a Bakers chocolate, toasted caramel richness that will make awesome cold brew for the early days of summer. Roaster's Choice: Northern Italian. Available in 1/2 and full roast bags this month!
Since Summer has officially begun, we recommend you try out making your own cold brew coffee. A cold brewing process is different than hot brewing because it turns the topnotes sweet and heightens the coffee’s buttery cocoa and coffee candy flavors. It’s smooth enough for iced coffee and flavorful enough to blend with milk for a cold latte. For something even more… decadent, try putting it in a blender with ice cream and sipping it with a straw for a frosty treat!
Finally, while there is no such a thing as a free lunch -unless you’re a cute dog that is-, there IS free coffee! If you order 2 or more full roasts of coffee and enter "June" in the additional information box. We will include a free half roast of Cotton Candy Coffee - the June coffee of the month.
How do you plan to celebrate this summer? Maybe you’ll take trips to the beach, picnic in the park, or just hang out on your porch enjoying those never-ending summer evenings? Whatever you do, we’d love to hear about it! You can share your thoughts on the Facebook thread or in a comment on this blog. Or, if you'd like to share your opinion 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, because the “algorithm” loves “engagement”. Thank you for your help in connecting coffee lovers to fresh, quality coffee!
Thanks and talk to you soon!
