Hello there!
The other day I got the darlingest package in the mail from Kansas.
Inside was a bundle wrapped in stripey paper, tied up with string, and the smell that came out of it?
Mmmmm, heaven—
Fresh coffee!
My friends Ryan and Rebecca Shetler started a coffee roasting business, and offered me a sample. I love a good cup. And though I’m not a coffee gourmet, my mom is—[grin]—so I invited her over. She said “[delighted shriek] Yes!! I LOVE their coffee!”
We ground and brewed and sipped together, and I’m a believer. Sooo delicious!
(You know I try not to rave over things I can’t share, so hang on. Your part is coming soon.)
Ryan and Rebecca, also known as R&R Roasters (how cute is that?) buy ethically sourced beans, and carefully roast them to perfection in small batches. All the beans at R&R Roasters are organic, fair-trade, and roasted after you place your order because the Shetlers think freshness is what makes home roasting so wonderful. They ship within a day or two of roasting, so you get that perfectly optimum flavor.
Don’t even get these guys started talking about coffee experiences and tasting notes. This is good coffee.
Plus it comes in adorable brown paper bags with tabs to seal in the freshness.
And then of course you can make a latte with it, if you want…
Ryan and Becca would like to give away one pound for free, to one of you. Stay in your seats, please. There will be no stampedes to the comment section. No people will be trampled in the giving of this bean.
But we mean it. And feel free to hang around and check out their website here, with coffee beans for sale by the pound here. They also offer subscriptions, for twice-monthly fresh deliveries to your door.
You can also find R&R on Facebook, and on Instagram.*
On their website they have a blog where they talk about coffee and life. Becca works as a barista, and loves to educate people about coffee and help develop their palates.
Since R&R Roasters is a new business (with years of personal experience in coffees), we’d like to spread the word. Please share the giveaway with someone—in person, by email, or on social media—then leave a comment to enter the drawing.
Thanks!
Shari Zook
