The free sample offer
One hundred free bags.
We set aside one hundred 5 oz bags of whole bean, free, and we pay half the shipping. One per person, first order only. Brew it however you like it. If it is the best cup you have had, order more. If it is not, write back and tell us why, and we will actually read it. When the hundred are gone the list becomes a waitlist.
