It's been almost exactly two years since we last offered our Moka Java blend of wild Ethiopian Moka and smooth Java from Indonesia as our Roaster's Choice coffee. It's always been one of our personal favorites, and our customers seem to feel the same. As winter settles in here in our small mountain town, we find that conversation and reflection is easier, warmer and more comforting over a cup of coffee, and we invite you to take a moment to enjoy these beautiful beans from lands far away. It's sweet notes of cherry and dark chocolate, silky body and rich aroma embody the very best of what coffee has to offer. Take a minute to Imagine what the world was like when wild natural coffees were being transported around the world in the holds of sailing ships from ancient kingdoms in the east, to Europe and to the New World in the West. It was a heady time of discovery and dramatic cultural shifts, and coffee was the magical bean that fueled much of it. What a good reminder of what we humans are capable of when we let ourselves dream big.
So grab another cup, take a deep breath and enjoy the peaceful moments of reflection that this quiet time of year has to offer.
Happy New Year, Friends. May 2025 bring you joy and wonder, and may your coffee give you strength.
