Fall Colors, Fall Flavors

There is a strange dichotomy to fall weather. The changing of the seasons reminds us that winter is fast approaching while at the same time, revealing so many warm and brilliant colors in the trees, fruits and vegetables that are harvested this time of year. Orange pumpkins, golden apples, trees ablaze with fiery leaves that will soon need to be raked into pile. 

Our thoughts turn to food and drink that will keep us warm during the cold months, and the abundance of warm spices, sweet treats and savory offerings that are common this time of year.

As such, we are pleased to release our two new offerings to entice your senses.

At the cafes, the Cardamom - Ginger is subtly spicy and sweet and full of the flavors of the fall harvest. Created by our staff of talented baristas and made from scratch from simple ingredients, it's the perfect warm-up treat on a cool fall day.

From the roaster, we have the 2016 release of our Holiday Blend. This year, we've created something that represents all of the flavors we love this time of year and that pairs well with the fall harvest. A blend of Kenya, Ethiopia and Sumatra yields a cup with a maple syrup body, fruity notes of cranberries and a clear and defined finish. It's the perfect thing to enjoy as you sit around the dinner table after a wonderful meal, or to sip by the side of the hearth. Holiday Blend is available at all our cafes and select grocery partners around the area.

Arrival of the Colombians

Arrival of the Colombians

Sometimes, you just have to wait for good things to come. That’s certainly the case with the new crop of Colombian coffees that just arrived at our Main St. roasting facility. Back track almost 6 months when we visited the town of Jardin in the Antioquia region of Colombia in December of 2015. We toured, tasted and selected two coffees that we would bring in this year. 

Colombian Origin Trip - Notes from the Farm

Colombian Origin Trip - Notes from the Farm

This past week, I had the opportunity to travel to Jardin, Colombia to visit several farms in the region where we buy much of our coffee, and to see the mill in town where most of these farmers sell their coffee and where it’s prepared for export.
