As a new year approaches I wish better and more peaceful times for all. I believe in a greater good...and that we can lend a sense of kindness, hope & purpose across the world in all that we do.

I am grateful for the response to ArabicaDabra. I'm humbled to present beans from isolated growers the world-over. Selling their beans allows them to escape the poverty that results from geographical isolation. It touches their lives for the better and those in their region as well. With your help, we genuinely make a difference...and a better world.

The response to my new gift tote bags has been wonderful. People tell me they use their bags whenever they go to the market. They are being ordered and decorated for all kinds of occasions and they come loaded with lots of treasures...most notably an array of gourmet classic and rare varietal beans that are in a class by themselves. My roasting process is time consuming and special, but worth the effort to do these beans and my customers justice.

In the season of Christmas & Hanukkah and the hope of a New Year filled with better times, I want to offer my deepest thanks with gifts to all. Orders will come with a beautiful stainless steel coffee scoop. In addition, all coffee orders of 5 pounds or more will be shipped to you FREE of charge. If you live in Los Angeles (home to ArabicaDabra) you can even arrange to pick up holiday orders.
