MEDIUM ROAST (12oz bag)

On 08/06/2011, a U.S. CH-47 Chinook helicopter was shot down while transporting a quick reaction force attempting to reinforce an engaged unit of Army Rangers in Wardak province, Afghanistan. The resulting crash killed all 38 people on board, 25 American Special Operations personnel, 5 U.S. Army National Guard/Army Res. crewmen, 7 Afghan commandos, and 1 Afghan interpreter, as well as a US military working dog. It is considered the worst loss of US military life in a single incident in the Afghan Campaign and the greatest single loss of life ever suffered by the USSOCOM community in its 24 year history. A source from the Navy Special Warfare community described the reaction as “shock and disbelief. There’s no precedence for this. It’s the worst day in our history by a mile.” We honor the loss of our teammates and continue to pray for their families. May we continue to say their names and never forget their sacrifice.

    Good coffee just keeps getting better

    Have liked all blends tried so far, but Extortion 17 is special. Once I tasted it, automatically went back to it for next brew, Dark depth, acid-free taste delivered gently. Excellent coffee. Still enraged by events surrounding Extortion 17. Listing name and rank , on coffee package, of warriors lost, is righteous. My wife said: "Don't throw away coffee bag. I want it." Love what you're doing, Tim. and love your coffee.

    Smooth Operator

    This rich medium roast delivers a velvety smooth finish with delightful notes of semi-sweet chocolate, making every sip a moment of reflection and remembrance. The low acidity and balanced flavor profile create an exceptionally clean cup that honors the sacrifices of our fallen heroes.

    Perfect taste and supporting Vet owned businesses are the right thing to do. My uncle turned me to this brand and am very impressed with how personal each order is.
