Yes it is. The SCAA (Specialty Coffee Association of America) rates specialty coffee on a 100 point scale.
The scale is as follows:
80-84.99 - Very Good
85-89.99 - Excellent
90-100 - Outstanding
Our coffee was last scored by a Instructor that teaches SCAA scoring methods. She rated our coffee at 85.25. That sounds excellent to us!
For our coffee and in-house merchandise, you can select a ship date. If one of our shipping options does not work, please message us and we will customize a ship date for you. Unfortunately, for Print-On-Demand merchandise, we have fewer options.
Our coffee is roasted fresh every week. We want you to receive the freshest possible product. Your order may need to wait until the next roasting date to get the best product to you. Fresh coffee does make a huge difference in taste!
For packages lost in transit, all claims must be submitted no later than 30 days after the estimated delivery date. But no worries! We'll cover the costs of shipping a replacement order for you as the long as the stated address on the order is correct.
We may ask for your help before doing that, like confirming that the shipping address was correct. We also ask that you get in touch with the shipping carrier to try locating the lost order.
Keep in mind that if tracking information states an order was delivered but you think you haven't received it, you will need to do some investigating such as checking with your neighbors and reaching out to your local PO to find out what happened. Unfortunately, once it shows delivered in our system, there is not much we can do as the seller.
We only use premium Strike King Lure Company tackle in our gift boxes and subscriptions. The tackle selection each month will vary, but will always be around $15-$20 in retail value.
There is a lot of verbage being used in the coffee industry. Here it is:
Direct Trade: We actually know, have met, and work with our farmers directly. They set their own prices and we pay it. The result is better income for their families and we ensure that our coffee is of the highest quality from the Atitlán region of Guatemala.
Fair Trade: This is more of a certification that was first established in 1988. The goal is to ensure small farmers and able to compete with large corporations and keep prices from being driven down to the point where small producers cannot make a living.
Yes. Our farmers are small producers that work with the environment and do not slash and burn large acreages to mass produce their product.
You can taste hints of cocoa, citrus, peach, berries, slight floral, and caramel.
Our coffee is roasted and packaged here locally and shipped from our location. For additional merchandise offerings, we have chosen a print-on-demand company to fulfill those orders. Those orders are printed as received by a separate company and shipped directly from them.
