Hot Days? Time to sip some coffee at the beach!

Carrie Masek

It's already August and many of us are struggling to keep our cool while summer brings extreme heat and weather across much of the United States. The hottest days of summer have arrived. In order to keep our cool, we love to drink ice cold coffee! Summer is the perfect time to enjoy your icy favorites!

Our Coffee of the month for August is the perfect drink for spending time on a sandy beach: Sea Salt Breeze. This curated coffee mixture brings out a sweet, full-bodied taste that is as refreshing as a trip to an ocean resort, with dark chocolate notes and a hint of spice. Lively enough to brighten a vacation breakfast and rich enough to complement the most decadent late night dessert. Roast Level: Vienna

For a gentler, organic way to chill, check our our Exploration Coffee for August: Organic Uganda Sipi Falls A gentle, sweet and lively African, this organic and Rainforest Alliance certified coffee features a medium body with a sweet floral aroma, zesty orange topnotes and cocoa richness. Roaster's Choice: City. Available all month in both full and 1/2 roast pouches.

A quick end note regarding summer holidays- We will be away for our own coffee (and grandchildren!) -vacation from Monday, August 5, through Monday, August 12. Any orders that come in after Friday, August 2, will be roasted and mailed after we get back to work on Tuesday, August 13. Thank you all for another lovely year! :)

Finally, to thank the readers of this blog, we're offering a free 1/2 roast of Sea Salt Breeze with any two roasts you order. Just enter "August" or even “Sea Salt Me Please” in the additional information box and we will include a free half roast of our favorite August Coffee of the Month!

Sharing great coffee is our favorite way to enjoy the hottest days of Summer.

Do you have a favorite way to keep cool? 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. Help us connect coffee lovers to fresh, quality coffee!

We wish all our customers a happy, healthy, and cool rest of the summer.
