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 Ecuador La Josefina. A stunningly delicious washed, anaerobic microlot grown high in the Andes at the Cayambe-Coca Natural Reserve of Ecuador. This single estate coffee is sweet and smooth, with rich chocolate notes balanced with a hint of sweet spice. Smooth enough to drink black, but try it with a drop of cream to bring out the sweetness. Recommended explorer's roast-level is 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. Or, if you'd like to share your opinions 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!

Thanks!

Finally, to thank the readers of this blog, we’re offering a free 1/2 roast of coffee with your first order of two or more roasts month. Just write, “October,” in the box for additional Instructions, and we’ll add a 1/2 roast bag of Black Magic to your order at no extra charge. Sharing coffee is our favorite way to enjoy our favorite season!

We wish all our customers continued good health and an excellent fall!
