When the going gets tough, the tough get coffee!



Greetings from Opulence, USA~!
That's right. South Saint Paul is booming- confidence is high...


Okay who are we kidding? Times are tough!

Tougher than most of us have ever seen! Our costs have increased in the last year by almost 50%

OUCH.



Rather than raise prices every time our costs go up, we have chosen to absorb as much of this economic difficulty as possible- to make available to you the same great food at the same low prices, in the hope that you, our customers, neighbors, and friends, will continue to support us and benefit from our very reasonably priced high quality food! You can't even get great deli salad at the Grocery store for $6.50 a pound!

I want to take this week's update and use it to bring your attention back to an
-OUTSTANDING DEAL.-
I am speaking of course about our
+Coffee of the Week Club.+



You can sign up now and receive coffee for less than ten dollars for 14 oz. More than 25% off!
Let me say that again-


For LESS THAN THE COST OF FOLGERS-->

you can receive award winning coffees
Cup of Excellence Coffees
90+ point scoring coffees ( which regularly cost $20 a pound or more)
Locally roasted artisan batch coffees- roasted by hand, by me, cupped daily, constantly improved.
Delivered or available for in-store pickup.
Fresh.

Amazing.
Cost-savings!
If you brew coffee twice a week or more- this deal will save you big time!
Stop grabbing terrible impulse coffee from S*buckS or the grocery store! Yuck. That coffee was roasted who knows how long ago, and it was defective to begin with!
Drink coffee from a local cafe with integrity- drink the good stuff- and smile knowing that you are enjoying that coffee at a better price than just about everyone else!




Unless you're growing the coffee yourself, this is about the best deal anywhere!

Hawaii's are here!


Ah, Hawaii!

The name alone conjures up such majestic imagery-


ANNOUNCING:

Our coffee is here!

We have two lots:

HAWAII NATURAL:

peaches, orchid, pineapple.

This coffee is unlike anything else you have tasted. Delicate, sweet, floral. The perfume of tropical paradise wrapped up in a bean.

By the cup- We sell this coffee by the Cup, clover brew only.
By the pound- we sell this lovely coffee by the pound. Haven't worked out the final cost yet. It's less than Esmerelda, but not by much.


HAWAII DRY FERMENT-

Same farm, different processing method. The results are startling, citrus, chocolate, vanilla, sugar cane, sweet toasted Macadamia nuts.

Also available by the pound and by the cup.

You've heard about Terroir- how the coffee should reflect the land, you've heard about pristine processing and quality in the cup.

Now- for a limited time only, you can taste it. Come and enjoy a round trip ticket to Hawaii for about six bucks. Can't be beat.



Also available- our subscription service is up and running. We are delivering on Thursdays.
