The Malabar

Indian "Monsoon" Malabar: Before the creation of the Suez Canal, coffee was shipped from India to Europe around Africa's Cape of Good Hope. The Indian coffee went from tropical humid heat to freezing sea air back to tropical humid heat to the European port over a 1 or 2 month period. This caused the beans to bleach and swell. Europeans became accustomed to this different taste, and when shorter (and more airtight) means of shipment arrived, coffee drinkers missed the distinctive 'Malabar' taste. Today, after careful hand picking (versus stripping in lesser harvesting regimes) these beans are dry processed only from Arabica Cherry Grade A. The dry beans are raked on the outdoor drying beds in India for 12-15 weeks to duplicate the effect of sea travel. The Malabar will be available for the next couple of weeks, absolutely fresh and roasted to perfection. Stop by for a cup, or bring the brew home!

Bonfire Latte

Ahhh Summer... Nothing quite like sitting under the stars toasting marshmallows over a crackling campfire. Of course you can't have toasted marshmallows without making S'mores. They are an essential summertime treat. Now you can capture the S'mores experience in a cup!

The new Bonfire Latte!!


The Bonfire Latte has everything you love about S'mores. Real Hershey's chocolate mixed with espresso, marshmallow syrup. Top it all off with whipped cream, graham cracker crumbs, chocolate syrup and a marshmallow.

It's much easier to sip your S'mores rather than making them the traditional way. Much less mess!! ; )

New Special

It's camping and bonfire season.  As we've been enjoying these comfortable evenings near our family's fire-pit we decided our newest special had to represent the sweet tastes of Summer fun, while it lasts.  This week and next, we are featuring a Summer-Bonfire-Inspired creation:

The Bonfire Latte!

All the creaminess, melted chocolate-ness of a good old-fashioned s'more... in latte form.  Graham cracker crumbles on top, of course!  Let us know what you think of this new fun treat, it'll be hard not to indulge in s'more.

(You can get it Iced, too!)

Delicious Sumatra

This is a semi-wet processed coffee bean, which yields a unique taste to the cup.  Some find it earthy, heavy bodied and rustic, while others taste more of a refined complexity in it.  We think that just a teaspoon or two of the local honey we keep in stock brings out the syrupy rich highlights in a good cup of French Pressed Sumatra Mandheling.  What do you think?

We invite you to try this featured coffee for the next two weeks. We have decaf in stock as well.
