Hi everybody

I just wanted to take a few minutes to let everyone know that we have just received our latest batch of smoked coffee! We start with a custom blend of our wonderful beans, send them out to our smoke house then, when they return, we bag and ship them.

We finally have a new supply of CO2 Decaf Organic Fair Trade Colombian Sierra Nevada and CO2 Decaf Organic Fair Trade Sumatra Mandheling. These are very popular OFT Decaf coffees that tend to sell out quickly.

In addition, we have added several new CO2 Decaf black teas: Spiced Chai, Mango, Orange & Spice, Passion Fruit, and Peach. Due to popular request, we are now offering a Lemon flavored tea (also in decaf).

Remember that our New Year’s Blend and Monthly Flavors will be available only until January 31.

2009 is here, and it’s time to roll out some new coffees! First is our New Years Blend, which is a hearty full-bodied coffee great for starting your day. Our January 2009 special coffee flavors are: Chocolate Almond, Egg Nog, and French Toast. All flavors come in decaf as well.

We are reverting back to our standard pre-holiday telephone hours. 7:30AM – 5:00PM EST Monday- Friday. UPS has also reverted to their standard pre- holiday shipping schedules.

Its official: Our most popular coffees of 2008 were Italian Roast Espresso and Colombian Supremo. Smoked Coffee was our most successful new coffee.

Even though the Holiday Season is nearing its end, remember that we offer all of our gift baskets, samplers, gift cards, and gift boxes all year round.

Our November 2008 Roaster’s Blend is now available. It is a well- balanced light roast coffee that was quite a hit with our staff.

All 1 lb coffee bags and 5oz teas are now available in optional Holiday Gift Packs. Each coffee gift box contains a 1 pound bag of coffee, a bag of chocolate covered espresso beans, and a ceramic coffee mug. The tea boxes include a 5oz bag of tea, a box of t-sacs, and a mug. Simply select the “gift box” option at each 1lb coffee listing on our website. Tea boxes can be selected on all of our normal tea listings.
