Black coffee for Black Friday!

We have the perfect solution for curing those turkey hangovers, black coffee. Come  and get it!

We also have an abundance of fresh roasted organic and fair trade coffees, packaged and ready to take home to enjoy. I think I went a little crazy when packaging yesterday so the shelves are over-flowing with whole bean coffees.

Just a few updates today. We'll have a new selection of the beautiful pottery from Mexico arriving in another week. In addition to the cups, saucers and serving platters we already stock, we'll be adding some larger serving platters.

The new Travel Presses and Espro Presses have turned out to be very popular. They're a great improvement over standard French Press coffee makers and their design is stunning. A perfect gift for yourself or someone special.

Our new logo travel mugs should be here in another week as well so we're looking forward to their arrival.

Now that we're officially into the "Holiday Season", I have a couple schedule changes to let everyone know about.

• We will be closed Friday, December 25th for Christmas and we're also going to be closed on Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th. I realized that if any of my staff wanted to go away for the Christmas holiday, closing for the weekend would make that possible. We will re-open again on Monday the 28th at the usual 6 am.
•  On New Year's Eve, we will be open normal hours but I suggest you get here early because there's a good chance that later in the day, we may have dipped into the egg nog. :)
• New Year's Day, we will be opening at 8 am instead of 6 am so we'll be here to help folks caress those hang-overs.

This is the final week for supporting The Coffee Trust Program's effort to raise funds for the training of Guatemalan coffee farmers in organic solutions to the La Roya epidemic in Central America. Look for the donation jar when you're in the shop.

I had intended to add a donation button to our web site for this project but haven't made that happen yet. Look for it next week.

I think that's it for this week.

Many thanks for your continued support and let the holidays begin!
