had to share this email from a customer...

I just wanted to thank you for the amazing coffee that I have been enjoying for a few years now. One of your customers turned me on to your beans, and now I simply cannot go back to buying beans from the store.

I have finally branched out and got one of my friends to try coffee the black bear way, we are now splitting this order.

I still remember my first cup of black bear coffee. I was at a fishing tournament and my friend and your loyal customer Jim Manuel told me not to worry about coffee, he had it covered. He hands me a cup and I take a sip, Jim! THIS IS THE BEST CUP OF COFFEE I'VE EVER HAD! From that time on I've been hooked and splitting orders with Jim. Basically if your company stops roasting beans, then we stop drinking coffee.

Thanks again for going the extra mile in your roasting process, and I hope more people realize the power of your beans.
