Coffee of the Month for December and the List for Q1 and Q2.  Holiday Shipping Deadline and Monthly Meeting Reminder - DATE CHANGE.

We hope you are enjoying the Holiday Season and taking the opportunity to grow your business. Need help?  Don't hesitate to ask questions via email, join any of the scheduled ZOOM meetings or schedule a 1:1 ZOOM call.  

November All Partner Meeting - Date Change.

The last Thursday of the month is Thanksgiving so we will move the all partner meeting to Tuesday 11/26 @ 09:00 Pacific.

This is our last partner meeting of the year and is important as it is the meeting where we discuss as a group (and vote) on the date and time of next year's meetings, the content of our training sessions and the return label name.  

We will also briefly discuss:  the supply chain, events,  2024 buying trends, and how to best take advantage of all of the current demand.

The invite went out to all active stores via email - if you did not receive it and want to attend, please send an email request.

Shipping Deadline for 12/24 is 12/18 so orders must be in the TCR system by 12/13.

No carrier is guaranteeing delivery dates on ground shipments but for your orders to have the best chance of delivery by 12/24, be sure they are in the app and are shippable by the 13th.  Orders without labels or incorrect shipping addresses will be delayed.  As always you are responsible for having a label on file prior to listing or selling any item so orders missing labels will receive lowest priority.

Fulfillment Times

All lines are currently running way ahead of expected at 1-3 business days. Average time from order to shipment is currently 34.6 hours.  This will stretch from Black Friday until January 15th.  Please be sure your customers have realistic expectations.  This is a great time to emphasize the fact that all of your coffee is craft roasted in small batches.  While we are extremely efficient, it still takes time to create each order, roast, pack and ship it.  Be sure you provide a policy or shipping expectation guideline to avoid disappointments as last minute shoppers scramble for the perfect gift.

December Coffee of the month - Whiskey Barrel Aged Guatemala 

Region - Huehuetenango, Guatemala

Farm - 400 family owned farms in Huehuetenango

Altitude - 1800-2000 M

Variety - Bourbon, Catuai, Caturra

Soil - Clay Mineral

Process - Fully Washed and Sun Dried

Certification - Conventional

Roast Level - Medium

Cupping Notes - Medium body and bright acidity.  Notes of brown sugar. Fruity undertones of cocoa, oak and just a hint of bourbon.

This unique single-origin coffee comes with a twist: we age it in used bourbon whiskey barrels. These barrels, carefully emptied, steam-sterilized, and dried, provide the perfect environment for our green coffee beans to absorb their distinctive flavors. Over 30 days, the beans take on subtle notes of charred oak and whiskey (without any alcohol or additives). Once the aging process is complete, we roast the coffee to a smooth, balanced medium profile, delivering a flavor experience not soon forgotten.  A perfect gift for every coffee lover on your list.

January - Uganda Natural

 We will vote on these the week of 11/26 and the results will go into use starting in January.

 Please don't hesitate to email with any questions you may have or if you need help improving sales.  Demand is at the highest we have ever seen.  If you are not seeing increases in sales, it may be time to evaluate and make changes to your marketing plan.  We are happy to help.

Have a great week and a very Happy Thanksgiving!!
