We Have New Coffee!
July 7th, 2008 editor
After many recommendations and a visit from the owner (along with about 50 french presses and types of coffee) we have a new coffee on all of our rafting trips from Noble Coffee (from right here in Southern Oregon). Here is a little bit about the company:
At Noble Coffee Roasting, we’re pretty much crazy about coffee. Whether it’s sourcing great coffees that we ensure are responsibly produced (100% certified organic, fairly traded, and shade grown), carefully hand-roasting them in small batches, or educating folks about how to best brew them, we are passionate about the art of the bean. We’re sure that you’ll be able to taste the difference.
You can read more about them at their website: http://www.noblecoffeeroasting.com/.
After much deliberation we chose the “Mokha Java”. Tell us what you think!
