“National Coffee Day” is celebrated around the world this week (Sept 29th in the US, and we’re celebrating with you in two ways this year. If you’re in the Lakeland area, we’ll be doing a special coffee chat + sampling event at Pressed - register FREE here (so we can plan ahead for samples - extra guests always welcome, of course!).

And, for all those not in the area, we’ll be sending extra generous samples on all your boxes (hoping you can share a cup with a friend this month!), now until our October newsletter. We’ll also be launching our first-ever Oak Barrel Aged coffee beans in October, and we truly can’t wait to share this very special collaboration with you! The barrel was previously used to age rum by Lugo’s Craft Distillery, a family-owned and operated Craft Rum Distillery a few miles from the roastery. We have chosen Poaquil for this first batch - as it is our longest high-impact relationship - and our early taste tests have us beaming with excitement… the cup is wildly different from the “original” beans - markedly sweeter and featuring a kaleidoscope of flavor notes we were not expecting! We need only a few more weeks for perfecting our roast, and for making its packaging a little more special… we should be ready mid-October!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for continuing to make Ethos possible every day… this monthly newsletter launched exactly 5 years ago, and 60 newsletters later… we keep loving this journey, this mission, and treasuring this amazing privilege to be your roaster.

Love to Brew Greatness with you,

💛

Jolian & Lisbeth
