From us to you: Giving Thanks!
Carrie Masek
It’s already November, a month of resetting clocks, raking leaves and remembering all the reasons we have to be thankful. We’re always grateful for good coffee and the folks who enjoy it. To thank our customers, we have some especially lovely coffees to share this Thanksgiving and also for the beginning of Christmas and other Holiday Gift season.
Our November Coffee of the Month is Harvest Roast. Smooth enough to drink black and with enough flavor to stand up to cream and sugar, Harvest Roast is great to sip all day. Just be sure to save some for dessert. It's great with pumpkin pie! Available all month in full and 1/2 roast bags.
Our Exploration Coffee for November is Organic Java Dadar. The original Indonesian. A naturally processed, certified organic coffee with a rich, heavy body and intense flavor: Dark chocolate and mild cherry with an intriguing black pepper finish. Roaster's Choice: Vienna. Available all month in full and 1/2 roast bags.
November is also the start of holiday shopping season. We have some amazing gift boxes coming up this year for those coffee-lovers who want to try the world’s most amazing coffees, including Gesha’s, Kona, and Jamaica Blue Mountain. We’re excited! Whether you need stocking stuffers, a custom gift, or a present that keeps giving all year long, Great Coffee makes the holiday taste just right. We offer full and 1/2 roast coffee gifts and will even handle the mailing!
Or give the gift that keeps on giving. Check out our Coffee Club Subscriptions. We now have three different Coffee Clubs: Coffee of the Month Club, Coffee Contrast Pair Club (the one most similar to our old Coffee Club), and Half Roast Sampler Club. You choose the club and the length of the subscription: 3 months, 6 months or 12 months. Orders continue for the length of the subscription, delivering fresh coffee monthly without the hassle of reordering. Set up a customer account, and you can monitor and/or modify your Coffee Subscription anytime you want.
We will also have special Holiday hours in this upcoming season! For Thanksgiving: We will close for retail at noon Wednesday, 11/26, and will roast and mail any orders we receive over the long Thanksgiving weekend after we get back to work Monday, November 30.
For Christmas: We will close for retail at noon Christmas Eve and will return to work Monday, January 5, 2026. All orders we receive between noon, December 24, 2025 and January 5, 2026 will be roasted and mailed after we get back from our Holiday vacation.
Also as a reminder- anytime you order coffee during the holiday season please make sure to take enough time for it to arrive in the mail. The USPS is unmatched in reliability, but the mail slows down this time of year. If you'd like fresh coffee for Thanksgiving dinner, we recommend ordering no later than Tuesday, November 18.
Finally, to thank the readers of this blog, we’re offering a FREE 1/2 roast of Harvest Roast with your first order of 2 or more roasts this month. Just write, “November,” in the box for Additional Instructions, and we’ll add the coffee at no extra charge.
Sharing coffee is our favorite way to say, “Thanks!”
