Question 1

Is your coffee Specialty Grade?

Accepted Answer

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!

Question 2

Can I select a ship date?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Why do you say it may take ten days to get our order?

Accepted Answer

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!

Question 4

What if my product gets lost in the mail?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What type of tackle will come in my subscription?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What is Direct Trade vs. Fair Trade?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Is your coffee shade grown?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our farmers are small producers that work with the environment and do not slash and burn large acreages to mass produce their product.

Question 8

What are the tasting notes in your coffee?

Accepted Answer

Our signature bean for our Bass Fishing Life Coffee line is Guatemala. We also launched a second line called Live Life Coffee Beans. In 2026, we added many of the Live Life Coffee products to the Bass Fishing Life coffee site to provide you more options and to help you save on shipping!

The new highway toll road makes travel to the lowlands quicker than ever, but the pace slows down when the road starts to climb into the mountains. At Shashamane town, the western road carries travelers into the heart of the Sidama Guji coffee region, past family farms and pointed huts made of curved reeds. Thousands of small farmers live in this area, growing coffee at high altitudes where the Rift Valley meets the Bale Mountains. Farms range in size from 1 to 20 hectares, and banana and mango trees grow alongside coffee trees, imparting their fruity flavors into the soil. For hundreds of years, people here have governed by the Gadaa system, an indigenous democratic process of electing a leader and local representatives. The area is rich in history – and rich in coffee. Producers bring their ripe harvests to central washing stations, where the cherries are pulped and washed with mountain spring water the same day. The pulped coffee goes into a fermentation tank for 72 hours, then is washed, spread, and sun-dried for up to 2 weeks on raised beds. The people of the Guji region take pride in the high quality of this sweet, clean coffee. Zone: GujiTown: Ana SoraAltitude: 2100M (6890ft) +Veritals: HeirloomWater Activity: 0.501Moisture: 10.4%Density: 65.1Notes: peach, cocoa, lemon candy and black tea PAPUA NEW GUINEABenchmark Coffee TradersSigri, Bunum Wo, and Kindeng EstatesLocation: Wahgi Valley, Western HighlandsAltitude: 1550 – 1600 meters above sea levelSoil type: VolcanicShade trees:Albiza, Casuarina, Old-growth trees Kula PeaberryThe Kula Peaberry green coffee is generally about 6% of the total green coffee crop and is a higher density coffee.
