Happy New Year 2024! (With Coffee)

We did it- 2023 is over and 2024 has begun. Time to wake up a New Year with coffee! For a bold cup to wake up your year try Midwinter's Brew, our Coffee of the Month for January. For those who prefer a brighter, lighter coffee, try the world famous Colombia Gran Galope. And for anyone who wants to try some of the best of the best, we recommend Costa Rica Geisha.

January’s Coffee of the Month, Midwinter’s Brew is a smooth, full-bodied coffee with dried fruit sweetness and a hint of spice, a bold enough drink to warm the coldest winter morning and smooth enough to enjoy an entire evening. Available all month in both full and 1/2 roast pouches.

January’s Exploration Coffee is Colombia Gran Galope. The Origin of the traditional American cup of Joe.  From the Huila region of Colombia, a well balanced, medium bodied coffee with typical Colombian richness.  Tart, sweet and savory with lime topnotes balanced by sugary sweetness. Roaster's Choice: Full City.

Looking for the best of the best? This is it. A Lively and sweet, rare Central American treat Costa Rica Geisha! Anaerobic naturally processed Geisha beans from a West Valley microlot, lively, sweet, and rich, with a smooth, creamy body, candied fruit sweetness, chocolate richness and a complex lingering finish. Coffee sweetens as it cools, for a gourmet iced coffee or Cold Brew. Suggested Roast Level: City or Full City to heighten lively topnotes, Vienna or darker for a Kona-sweet treat.
