Have you noticed it's easier to get up in the morning when you have special coffee to brew? You enjoy the anticipation, awaiting the exciting, enticing aroma of freshly ground beans.

Cleaner, Better Tasting Coffee

What is really fresh coffee like? First there is the intense great aroma. Without aroma you do not have fresh "java." And then there is a liveliness, a sparkle to the taste of fresh coffee. Our special roasting technology, developed by coffee legend Michael Sivetz, produces a very clean, crisp tasting cup of joe. In our roaster the tars and ash of roasting are blown away by fast rushing, cleansing air and the result is a cleaner, better cup of coffee.

Did the British trade coffee with the Cherokee?


I was at Fort Loudon in East Tennessee during a "Garrison Weekend." And grabbed this image of a lovely young trader-re-enactor and her horse. I did not realize at the time, but on the back of the horse is a Colombian coffee bag.
So I looked into when coffee may have been introduced to the Cherokee.
Here is a partial time line from wikipedia:

  • 1668 Coffee began to be known in North America.
  • 1670 London devoted to coffee. Coffee shop opened in every corner of London.
  • In Brazil, coffee cultivation began. Types of coffee grown is the Coffea Arabica Lind.
  • 1675 King Charles II closes all coffee shops in London.
  • 1688 More than 800 local coffee shop opened in Soho (England). Especially by Christian refugees from the French Calvinists (Huguenots).
  • 1696 The first coffee shop called The King's Arms opened in New York.
  • 1727 Francisco de Ello brings coffee beans from France for planting in Brazil.
  • 1730 British planted coffee in Jamaica.
  • My conclusion is it certainly is plausible that coffee may have been traded at the time of the French Indian wars around the 1750's until 1760 when Fort Loudon surrendered to the Cherokee.

Coffee Chaff For Eggs From Gooney Hill

David Allard "has chickens" and asked us for some of the chaff that comes off the coffee beans during roasting. He wanted to try it out as "deep-bedding" for his chickens.
He came by today for a thirty gallon bag full. And as a thank you he presented Andrew and I with these eggs from his hens at Gooney Hill.

Hope David wants some more chaff.
