Staff Favorites!
April 1st, 2010Every week on Friday our employees get to take home a free 1-lb bag of coffee or 5-oz bag of tea. I thought I would investigate on what they took home last week and why they like it.

“I worked very closely with an Italian specialty shop to create this blend; every now and again I like to take some home.”
Greg (VP) – City Roast Colombian
“It’s my favorite; I think Colombian tastes best as a City Roast.”
Anthony (Logistics/Tea Buyer) – Yemen Mocha Mattari
“It was really good, I was surprised at how much of the mocha notes you can actually taste. It reminded me a lot of Sumatra.”

I’m with Al! Costa Rican Terrazu. We buy it green and in bulk from you guys and then roast it weekly. Nummy!

I have to say, the Six Bean Espresso has become our favorite coffee. It has the right amount of boldness and full flavor without high acidity. Makes a great cappucino!

I order beans frequently to supply my coffeeloving family with the ground beans. When they return the container, I fill them up with fresh ground and return it to them. I am keeping real busy supplying them but this is kind of a year round Christmas gift that I started last year, and they appreciate it! One of our favorites is the organic Mexican Chiapas.
Of course now they are spoiled and aren’t interested in store bought :>)
I think I may have to start charging them!
