Arts & Craft Coffee

LAST DAY OF THE BACK TO SCHOOL SALE IS TOMORROW!

We're roasting tonight and will work on restocking the shelf by Friday. Nocturne may make a slight profile change as we shift over to the newest crops of Brazil Cerrado and Sumatra. We'll let ya'll know when those bags hit the shelf.

Ethiopia Bura Hamasho Sidama is running very low! Currently we're roasting it to order so if you want a bag send us a message. We can leave it at the Nutrition Spot Vidor with your name on it or drop it off. The hunt for a new light roast is now officially on!

Thanks again for being amazing customers! Expect the Facebook and website to get some updates soon. Travis is almost recovered from his sciatic nerve related injury and is nearly back to full speed. We can't wait to roast you a fresh roasted bag of Arts & Craft Coffee soon!

UPDATE TIME! We just got a new crop of Brazil Cerrado! We'll be testing this and some new Sumatra Mandheling to see if we want to rebalance Nocturne. They are sourced from the same farms but have slightly different profiles each year.

Sumatra Mandheling may come back as a single origin for those of y'all that want some coffee with a good bite to it.

Mexico Fair Trade Organic is no longer available. If we can get some more in we'll let ya'll know!

Ethiopia Sidama Bura Hamasho is running low. We're expecting to be out of it by the end of September or October. We'll be looking for a fruit forward light roast to replace it. I'm currently trying to source some Kenya AA or maybe a geisha coffee for the next one. Expect updates by the end of September for that!

Thanks again for supporting our sidequest into specialty coffee and we look forward to roasting you a bag of fresh roasted Arts & Craft Coffee soon!

BACK 2 SCHOOL SALE! Drop by The Nutrition Spot-Vidor or send us a message to get 2 bags of Costa Rica Honey Jaguar for $26! This sale will run until the end of August.

Costa Rica Honey Jaguar fresh off roast! We're making a drop TOMORROW Morning at The Nutrition Spot-Vidor! If you haven't given this fantastic, honey-processed coffee roasted to the beginning of medium with notes of milk chocolate, honey, and raspberry then you're missing out! It's great as a daily driver in drip, pourover, Aeropress, and third-wave espresso with a turbo shot or zupa shot.

So what is honey - processing anyway? That's when the skin of the coffee fruit is washed off and then dried with the honey-consistency of the sticky fruit instead of being completely washed off or just dried naturally. It does lead to a bit of unevenness in the roast appearance but it's delightful in the cup.

Oh, and it will be part of the Back to School sale too! Details on that tomorrow morning!

BACK TO SCHOOL SALE NEXT WEEK! Keep an eye out for when it starts.

The roaster will be running full speed this weekend so we're breaking out the food grade buckets for blends and off-gassing the CO2 from the fresh roasted Arts & Craft Coffee! GET READY!

Hey folks! We're being a bit more quiet this summer than unusual but we're still roasting coffee! Right now we're keeping the rack stocked over at The Nutrition Spot-Vidor and filling 5 lb bag orders when requested. We do free delivery in most of the Golden Triangle for 5 lb bag orders so if you have a business where your employees need high quality coffee or want to save a little bit of money reach out to us for rates!

The reason for the slowdown is that Travis is dealing with a weight lifting/overuse injury that's affecting his sciatic nerve so we're not doing Farmer's Markets for at least another month. Also he is getting things ready for the upcoming school year where he is a system course lead for Graphic Design & Interactive Media career pathways along with getting ready for his own students. Once we get into the end of August expect us to post quite a bit more.

Thanks to everyone for continuing to purchase our fresh roasted Arts & Craft Coffee! If you have any questions about new roasts or need some help with making a great cup of coffee feel free to reach out to us.

DOUBLE SHOT PODCAST - What topics do you want Travis to discuss on Arts & Craft Coffee's new podcast? We're still on vacation but Travis is starting to do a bit of podcast prep for when he gets back. There will be two topics per episode so if you are wanting to know anything from home coffee prep to technical information to the coffee trade let us know!

NOCTURNE (LOW STOCK) - We will restock Nocturne as soon as we get back from our vacation. We have a fresh imported bag of Sumatra Mandheling sealed back at home so we might also offer it as a single origin again. Keep an eye out if you're running low on our popular espresso blend!

TRY ANYTHING NEW? Let us know if you've tried our new Honey Jaguar or Surreally Good Decaf! We'd love to hear your feedback.

KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR COFFEE! Travis is bagging coffee today but it's going a bit slow due to a pulled leg/lower back muscle. He'll do a live post when the coffee gets over to The Nutrition Spot-Vidor today.

NEW MENU STARTS WEDNESDAY! We're rolling out two new coffees this week that have taken us a bit longer than expected to roll out, but they'll be worth the wait! Expect this menu to be posted at The Nutrition Spot-Vidor Wednesday!

COSTA RICA HONEY JAGUAR - We've finally got a honey processed coffee! This is a fantastic coffee from Tarrazu, Costa Rica from Beneficio San Diego. It has a light, silky body with notes of milk chocolate, honey, and raspberry. It's a great coffee to make in iced pourovers on a hot summer day or in drip. It's also great for 3rd wave espresso but not traditional (meaning it's going to have punchy acidity and need a 1:3+ ratio instead of 1:2.)

SURREALLY GOOD DECAF - We're bringing back our Surreally Good Decaf but this time from Amazonas, Peru produced by JUMARP, Cenfrocafe + Swiss Water. If you want great coffee without the caffeine this is it! Our Surreally Good Decaf is a Swiss Water Processed coffee meaning that they use a water filtration system to remove the caffeine instead of harsh chemicals. It's a nice all-around coffee we're roasting at a full-medium with notes of dark chocolate, nuts, brown sugar, black currant, and citrus.

ROASTING TODAY & TOMORROW THEN SUMMER BREAK! Once we get our new coffee off the ground we're going to be taking a few weeks off. We'll be around to answer messages but won't be able to do deliveries. We have coffee in Vidor and are looking for some new places to put an Arts & Craft Coffee rack in Beaumont and Lumberton next! If you know a cottage friendly shop send us a message! We can't wait for you to try some of our fresh roasted Arts & Craft Coffee soon!

LABEL DESIGN TIME - SURREALLY GOOD DECAF! We're happy with the new production curve so it's time to design the label! Expect a roll out towards the end of this week for both Surreally Good Decaf and Costa Rica Honey Jaguar! If you'd like a sample let us know below and we'll work out a drop off this week. Thanks for being patient as we get these two fantastic coffees out!

For Surreally Good Decaf I'm referencing the Amazon River of Peru in the design so you'll see lots of flowing marks on the label showing the river as it bends for this Swiss Water Processed decaf!

If you need some coffee NOW then hop on over to The Nutrition Spot-Vidor in Vidor where they have multiple bags of our entire menu!
