We roasted our last few batches of Sebastian's Washed Pink Bourbon. That means if you see a bag in stores, you should grab it.

Not ready to restock your supply? We know many of you worry about over-stocking and using coffee quick enough, but this is a coffee varietal that does exceptionally well with extended resting time. It continues to open up in complexity over several weeks off roast, giving you plenty of time to move through any current stock of coffee. Don't miss your opportunity to try this incredible bean before it's gone!

Leaving soon - Ethiopia Sakaro! Remember coffee is a fruit. When you buy fresh, once you enjoy all the fruit from a particular harvest or season, you may have to wait until the next harvest season to enjoy that farm or cooperative's fruit again.

"Who packs and ships all the coffee?" "Who makes the cold brew coffee?" "Who wrote the note that came in my order?" "Who delivers all the pastries?"

Kenny does. And he is an absolute powerhouse. He is also a Liverpool FC fanatic, was once a participant on the Jay Leno show, and he says 'Taylor Ham not Pork Roll' (it's a Jersey thing).
