Do you know who Haile Selassie was? Only the emperor of Ethiopia for 43 years. That was a long and peaceful reign. Now we have a coffee that honors his namesake; Ethiopian Sidamo Haile Selassie Dry Processed coffee. We are happy to invite you on a journey of the senses. We have just brought in the most fabulous Ethiopian Sidamo to date. It hails from the birthplace of coffee and leaves you wondering how a coffee can have such range and depth in a single cup.
It starts with copious amounts of ripe strawberry, blueberry, and blackberry. Then as it cools, it transforms into honeydew melon, apricot, peach, mango and milk chocolate. It is like a complex wine that is meant to be savored.
We are offering this limited selection by the cup or by the bag. Come by and get a cup brewed fresh to order and then relax and savor the nuanced roller-coaster of tongue-tingling amazingness.
On Saturday, February 13, the Fools celebrate romance with the Fools Play Valentine’s Day Special. Join them for a night of comedy in which you could win a date with a Fool. Fools Play is a funny valentine sent directly to your heart every Saturday night at 8, so be sure to stop by and check out all the improvised love.
We have been working toward focusing on what we do best….coffee. Part of that process is sourcing the finest coffees available that are grown and purchased responsibly. We have found some of these coffees that will leave an impression no matter what you have tried in the past. It is our goal to exceed the expectations of our customers and with these coffees, we believe we will. Look for them this weekend as we are just bringing them in to roast today.
We will be happy to brew a mind-blowing coffee one cup at a time. See you soon.
The new crop Brazil coffees are in and we have a couple to choose from. But first, I would like to focus on one, Del Arisse. I am cupping this coffee for the first time this morning (1/14) and am rather dazzled!! It is processed using the semi-washed (pulped natural) method which leaves much of the fruity sweetness in bean. The particular characteristics of this coffee are; sweet syrupy mouthfeel (like maple syrup), and bold dry fruit layered with a big chocolate finish. I am seriously impressed with this coffee.
You can expect to see it on the shelves tomorrow (1/15).
A Whole New Year of Foolishness, Saturdays at 8:00 pm
Fools Play extends a heartfelt “Thank you!” to everyone who came out to see us in 2009. You’re invited to enjoy another year of live improvised comedy every Saturday at 8:00 pm at Mud Bay Coffee.
Christmas came and went and we are still standing. Do you know what is exciting? We still have many ways for you to spend all that gift money that seems to burning a hole in your wallet. Just in time for all this foul weather thats moving in, we have hoodies!!
Just think of how nice it will feel to curl up in your new Mud Bay Coffee sweatshirt with a steaming cup (a new Mud Bay Coffee Mug of course) of (insert favorite beverage here) to watch the raindrops splattering in the mud puddles outside your window.
Also, look for some new faces behind the counter in the coming days, and be sure to welcome them along with the New Year.
Drop by.
We’re waiting!!
We thought we would bring some holiday cheer to your Monday morning with a bit of great news.
This week only, you can pick up our wonderful bags of whole bean coffee for only $9 regular, and $10 for decaf and Holiday Blend. Nobody has prices these good for “top shelf” coffees. Come in and buy some bags for the whole family while they last.
Also, we have stocking-stuffer…everything, it just depends on the size of your stocking.
Our newest product is one of those of the smaller persuasion, CHAI!!! 5 oz bottles of our fabulous chai concentrate (regular and spicy) are only $6 per bottle and yield 1/2 gallon of chai latte goodness.
Between apparel, mugs, beans, and chai, you need look no further. Come to Mud Bay (you have to say it in a big, James Earl Jones kind of voice to get the full effect).
See you soon!!
This Saturday, Dec.19th at 8:00 PM
It’s our huge Christmas show, Fools Play Santa’s Lap!. You get a present from Jolly Old St. Nick and oodles of hilarious improv as well. Don’t miss out on this holiday spectacular.
After an entire week, we are still absolutely thrilled with our Holiday Blend. Our shelves are stocked and your needs are caffeine-derived….seems like a perfect match. Combine that with our new mugs and you have a recipe for keeping at least one part of your body warm (unless you spill). We will be roasting more Holiday Blend today so you can try it at the shop this weekend. Do swing by.
