April Fools and Flowers, it's finally Spring!

April 01, 2017Carrie Masek

Flowers are beginning to sprout, and it looks like this April is going to live up to its reputation for lots of rain and chilly, gray days. While you wait for those May flowers, brighten up your mornings with a cup of April's Coffee of the Month, Cloudburst Blend.

Ask the Roaster...About Freshness.

March 21, 2017Carrie Masek

“Does coffee spoil?” “How long is coffee good for?” “What's the best way to store coffee?”

We receive a lot of questions about coffee and freshness. The answer depends on where the coffee is in the cycle of roasting, grinding and brewing.

Early Spring Arrivals

March 08, 2017Carrie Masek

Early spring weather is full of contradictions, as is the coffee we receive at this time of year.  Weatherwise, the days are getting warmer, but, there's still a good chance of blizzards and severe winter weather. Some of winter's most exciting weather waits until March. 

Spring is on the way!

It's March, a month known for crazy weather, college basketball, and St. Patrick's Day. Though the days are getting warmer and flowers are beginning to emerge, mornings can still be dark and chilly. We brighten our chilly March mornings with lots of great coffee.
