In the Grinder - Our Daily Coffee Weblog

Our Colombian Supremo Seasonal Select Spectacled Bear is back. That's right, Spectacled Bear, not Speckled Bear. What's with the name, you ask?...

Our Matt Hupton came up with this idea a few years back and designed the program to give something back for this coffee that isn't known to be sustainably-grown. Doing research on Colombia and the native animals there, we ran across the cute Spectacled Bear, named such because he looks as if he's wearing spectacles!

So, we call the coffee the Spectacled Bear and we donate money from the sale of this coffee to the Wildlife Conservation Society (www.wcs.org) to study and help save the Spectacled Bear, which is endangered.

This coffee comes to us from different growing regions in Colombia, based on crop cycle and cup quality. We've seen coffees from Huila, Medellin, Narino and Cauca fill this label.
