The devil is in the details! When we created our Squalls and Doldrums blend, pictured here held by one of the great sculptures on The Plant's grounds, we were pursuing a flavor profile similar to a Moka Java blend - historically the oldest known coffee blend with its rich chocolate notes blended with bright citrus and floral notes. We think we came pretty close. One of our best selling coffee blends is back!!!!! Grab yours today from one of our great coffee retail partners or online from us directly.

We don't play games with our Wisp Decaf Blend. We craft it from two 100% water process decaffeination Central American coffees to find that sweet spot of full body and great coffee flavors like a standard caffeinated specialty cup of joe. No chemicals used in the process, not now, not ever with our Wisp Decaf!

Meet Los Urriola from Boquete, Panama. This single origin, single varietal (Caturra) coffee comes from the Ciriqui province, grown on the slopes of the stratovolcano Baru. The farm is over 80 years old and still owned and managed by the Urriola family. Notes of milk chocolate, nougat and nuttiness with a medium body make for a very pleasant cup whether brewed via a drip brewer, French Press or pour-over.

Our winter blend, Bluster, combines fruit forward African beans with cocoa forward Central American beans to create a rich cup of coffee that will brighten your day first thing in the morning or later in the afternoon as a bold flavored pick me up.

New year...new coffee! Our newest offering is Simbai Balus Kopi from Papua New Guinea. Also know as "Airplane Coffee" due to its need to be flown from the high mountain areas it is grown in to the valleys below is a sought after coffee for its elegant soft mouthfeel and mild wine-like acidity. Notes of tart mango, stone fruit, molasses, caramel and an earthy nuttiness all wrapped up in a medium/medium-dark roast make up a very balanced cup.

Here's to a clean start, new beginnings and a fresh outlook for a New Year!!!! We are so happy to continue to bring great coffees to all our customers, including some wonderful beans that just arrived yesterday - coming to your cup very, very soon! We hope you have a great New Year's Day and a fantastic New Year.

If you are in the Pittsboro area...It’s not too late for those last minute stocking stuffers. 12 ounces of great arabica coffee, sourced ethically and roasted locally, then brought right to your door. Local deliveries until 12/23 gives you plenty of time for that special gift for that special coffee lover!
