Coffee is Seasonal

We get this question often, “How come you don’t have that Guatemala coffee I like anymore?” Answer: “We sold out of it.”

DRINK

That’s right! We sell out of coffees all the time. The reason for this is because coffee is a seasonal crop. Different coffee origins (i.e. Brazil, Ethiopia, Mexico, etc.) have different harvest seasons. That’s why the coffees we have rotate throughout the year. We may have Ethiopian for awhile, and then other seasons have a low inventory of it because we have run through it and our distributor is all out of it as well. Despite what large coffee companies might be leading you to think, the re - ality is that there is only so much of a certain type of coffee. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. At least, until the next harvest... and even then, the coffee will taste different the following year.

Fact of the Day

Coffee is agricultural. It’s completely dependent on the right climate, its unique geography, and a healthy ecosystem. In late 2020, Honduras was hit badly by a tropical storm and the coffee industry was dramtically impacted becasue of the damage done to the coffee farms. Pay attention to the smaller, specialty coffee roasters in your town. If they are changing their coffees throughout the year, they are doing it right. One of the creative ways we are celebrating coffee as an agricultural product is by packaging the beans in uniquely labeled cans. We are cur - rently on Series 003, which is featured above. We only print so many cans of certain roasts because those roasts will be gone forever once we sell out of it. The cans have become novelty because of this. There is a limited number of cans because there is a limited amount of the seasonal crop available. Our distributor has already sold out of the coffees above which means, we can’t get them again this year.

ITS NOW TIME FOR A WORD FROM KAPERNICUS

Your friendly motorcycle riding coffee drinking philosopher!

Hi I am Kapernicus, but you can call me kap!

“Intelligent life can’t be intelligent if it is not intelligent enough to come up with intelligent solutions for the thriving of the human race.

We have skyscrapers, smart phones, cars that drive themselves, jet airplanes, flying cameras, electric cars, rocket ships, grub hub, third wave coffee, netflix, lightbulbs, telescopes, hip clothes, the Kardashians...

YET INNER PEACE eludes us.

How is it that we can have all these cool things and still struggle to feel good inside?

You can spend a lifetime using your intelligence to gain wealth, build your own personal empire, and still remain seemingly empty.

You can gain it all, and forfeit life.

Inner peace must come from a different source then.

Something to think about!”
