You’ve asked and we’ve listened! Now you can have your monthly coffee box arrive on your door step automatically the first week of every month!
This new subscription option is perfect for those of us who know we always need fresh, unique, and delicious coffee, but don’t have the brain space to remember to order each month.
The other benefit - you will never miss out! Since each box has a limited quantity, by being a monthly subscriber you will always get a box. This is a win-win-win-win situation, y’all!

Transparency on specific producers or processing techniques can be tough sometimes, and that is part of the specialness of this coffee release. Does knowing the exact elevation or name of the micro-mill always make a difference in choosing whether we should support a roaster or producer or shop?
Consider this as you place your order for this Robusta coffee from India.
Why Robusta?
There are over 100 different species of coffee. Arabica and Robusta are likely the two most familiar to you. We are seeing Arabica coffee producers struggling with many different aspects of climate change. Between the early blooming of the coffee flowers and intense rainfall throughout what has traditionally been harvest season, we are seeing the future of Arabica coffee changing.
However, Robusta coffee grows at a lower altitude, requires less water, and is overall hardier than its Arabica counterpart. It is for these reasons I foresee a future where Robusta coffee becomes more a part of our day to day lives. If we invest in the production of Robusta coffee now, we will see great returns as the coffee world as we know it begins to change.
