Because we have lots of COAL in stock.
It's a "gag" gift of really, really dark, oily coffee with a story. $7.50 for a pound.
Some ideas on who deserves COAL:
The guy who drinks the second-to-last cup of office coffee then puts the carafe back on the hot plate and stinks up the place.
Anyone with a bumper sticker that says, "Coffee should be black as hell and strong as death."
The Scrooge who thinks sustainable agriculture is a Communist plot.
Anyone who's ever uttered the phrase, "Who cares? It's just coffee."
Someone who really appreciates great coffee. Because they'll know exactly who to regift it for.
Available this week only. Next week it becomes compost.
very funny & thoughtful of you.

The thing with roasting for somebody else is that I have to buy my mistakes. Was aiming for a FR and overshot by a mile. Luckily it was only 10 lbs and right before Christmas!

Hm. Almost wish it was awesome coffee inside- a heavy caramel in color, with a lemon-grass acidity that blows minds.

TZ -
There are 10 other "serious" coffees here, most of which are city-city+ roast and some of which will give you citric acidity and citrus flavor notes. And all of them are capable of blowing minds.
