Limited Release Roast for May/June, Kinetics Time!
5/19/08 - I am a little late in getting this updated, as we've been pretty busy here at Kinetic Koffee World HQ. This month's Special Roast is a returning favorite from last year, the Guatemala La Voz. It's a wonderful dark roast with a nicely balanced, dense body and fruity and chocolate overtones. One of my regular customers ordered 20 bags the day he heard I was getting this, so you should order yours soon!
We're (almost) Famous!
4/28/08 - I woke up to a note this morning that my friend and colleague, Tim Jackson aka MasiGuy, posted an entry on his blog about Kinetic Koffee. How cool is that? Tim, besides being a really cool guy and a trackie like me, is rather famous in the cyber world of blogs and podcasts, even presenting a seminar to the AMA on the practice. His blog is ranked #140 on the AdAge Power 150 list of blogs. Check it out here.
Blown Away at Sea Otter
4/25/08 - We're back and recovered from the Sea Otter Classic. It seems that there is always some sort of weather issue each year. Last year, it was high winds and heavy rain; this year they left out the rain but kept the wind. So it was a wonderful dust storm on Saturday that sent some vendors' tents flying away and canceled some of the more acrobatic demonstrations.
April's Special Roast
4/08/08 - Our April Limited Release coffee is an Ethiopian Yergecheffe and it’s in a special gold bag this month to celebrate our company’s 5 year anniversary and 3 years as a roaster (has it really been that long?!?). It’s a medium bodied coffee with a sweet blueberry and cocoa flavor to it.
Raising money for Trips for Kids
4/4/08 - I am happy to announce that Kinetic Koffee will be offering a special fundraising coffee at the Sea Otter Classic (April 17-20) in Monterey, CA to benefit Trips for Kids. One half of the purchase price of $10 will go directly to this great program. The roast will be our popular French Konnexion. Please stop by Booth #825 to sample and purchase some of this delicious coffee and help us continue our mission of funding deserving non-profits. See you there!
Canoecopia 2008
Kinetic Koffee hit the road again for one of the biggest paddlesport events in the country, Canoecopia, in Madison, WI March 7-9. Yes, we were in the frozen north, where the high temp for the weekend was only about 20 degrees...
Kinetic Cycles Grand Opening
On February 19, I had the privilege to attend the Grand Opening of one of our newest dealers, Kinetic Cycles, in Elk Grove, CA. What a cool name, huh? And what a natural partnership for Kinetic Koffee!
February News
Winter is in full force here in Arcata, where we had our first significant snowfall in 18 years last week! It seems like the most of the country is also in the midst of some severe weather as well. Please be safe out there!
January News
Last week, Charlie and I attended the Fancy Foods Show in San Diego, CA to scope out the action, eat lots of free samples, and see the latest from the Speciality Food Industry. We only spent a day, but what a day! It seemed like we couldn't walk more than a few feet without something delicious being proferred to us. Quite a change from Interbike and Outdoor Retailer! It was great to see a local Arcata company exhibiting, Cypress Grove Chevre, with their award-winning goat cheeses. We also saw a few thing
