A worldwide pandemic, they say, is a tough time to start a business. We (perhaps stupidly) did it anyways. And it has been hard. Sometimes frustrating--trying to figure out how to introduce people to our products when we can't physically interact with them and allow them to experience it.
We're learning and growing, and excited about the things to come. But reflecting on our first 7 months in business, I am most thankful for you. You're the ones who gave us a chance. You ordered, not knowing whether it would be great or terrible. You stuck with us, even when sometimes it wasn't as great as you thought it would be. And many of you have become our first, small group of committed customers.
So, today, I just want you to know that I'm thankful for you, and for being an early part of what we're working to do. Our dreams for the future all begin right here, with a small and growing group of devoted customers.
So, as a thank you, we've reduced all of our prices on all of our 12oz bags of coffee. All blends are $10; single-origins are $12. These prices are only valid through the weekend, so place your order soon.
And do us a favor: tell someone about us. Share this message with someone; forward a social media post; or perhaps gift a bag of our coffee to someone you're thankful for.
Thank you for being a part of what we're doing. Thanks for believing in us, for loving our products, and for helping us improve them with your feedback.
On behalf of our small team, my very best wishes for a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
PJ

Our current Colombia offering is one of those special coffees--the perfect convergence of optimal conditions and an obsessive and focused grower. The coffee hails from Sr. Lopez's finca San Antonio. It's a Caturra that Sr. Lopez has sized into a very narrow range--yielding a single type of bean, of relatively uniform size. The result is a consistent roast, and consistent result in the cup, brew after brew.
And the result is something special! A perfectly acidic and complex blend of fruits that don't stop. We taste a lot of berry and stone fruit, with the perfect balance of sweetness and punchy acidity.
And the flavors don't let you down as the cup cools. In fact, some of the most intriguing flavors emerge as the cup trends toward room temperature.
We think it's the perfect coffee for warming weather--one you can drink all day. And for the adventurous folks who enjoy cold coffee--try it flash-brewed! And right now, if you buy one bag of our Colombia, the second bag is 50% (discount applied automatically at checkout).
Wishing you health, and wonderful coffee!

]]>Then calamity struck.
My gut told me that it'd be a bad idea to try to open for business during a pandemic. And so I'd all but decided to wait this thing out.
But then today I saw a follower on instagram post a picture of some coffee that he'd been able to find after searching around at a few places--that it was the last bag they had available. There's no coffee shortage--but I realized that our business is exactly the type of business the people need right now: a small business with no employees, that can produce and ship to you in almost real time.
So we're open. We'll roast weekly, and we will ship the day of (or after) roasting.
And for now, we'll ship for $5 anywhere in the US, or for free if you spend $30 or more.
And if you live in the Austin area, we'll deliver on roast day, for free (just select "Austin Delivery" as the shipping option at checkout! We'll deliver to your front porch!
Finally, for the next two weeks, every order is 15% off. I know some of you are operating at a reduced income, and we want to be a blessing to you. And if you haven't been financially impacted by the current crisis, I hope that you'll take the money you save on our coffee, and pay it forward to someone: give an extra tip to a food delivery person, drop a few extra dollars in the church digital offering, or order a bag of coffee for a friend and have it shipped directly to them!
Thank you all in advance for your support!
