Mothers are amazing - juggling and multi-tasking and keeping up energy when reserves are depleted. Mother's Day is just one day during the year to recognize the love, devotion, and work you put into your family and children. Now lets don't kid ourselves - a good cup of coffee sometimes gives us the bolt of energy we need when levels are low. If your coffee is stronger than your toddler you have a fighting chance!
Enter Red Bean Harvest in Jasper, GA...you may meet Richard and Kebra at the local Farmer's Market and hear them tell about their love for coffee. Here is the owner's idea on coffee "my desire is to simplify the coffee market, engage with consumers in a fresh new way, and create flavor profiles that people actually like to drink. Coffee today sits on a spectrum that ranges from the over-roasted found in mass market coffee shops (where flavored syrups and sugar help mask the bitterness), to the newer "third wave" coffee shop that takes a more artisan approach, focusing on a roast so light that the flavors are more green. Red Been Harvest Coffee sets in the middle. Origin definitely matters to me as I grew up around wine country (Napa, CA) and realize its importance. Getting the roast just right is what I feel really sets my coffee apart. By roasting further than a traditional thrid-wave, the natural sweetness of the bean is able to come through. It plays a vital role in the flavor, the soil, water, altitude, processing and it's people. I believe that what you smell should match what you are tasting! Having the community behind me and such a great local spririt, is one of the greatest things I could ask for."
