Happy Pride Month! Let's celebrate together with a new Pride 2025 coffee:

Pride: Encore
Huila, Colombia - Pink Bourbon
(Nectarine, Stone Fruit, Citrus, Pear, Melon)

Here's the Encore story:

Imagine that you scored great seats to your favorite music artist/band. As they finish their set, the vibes are good, and the energy is great from both sides of the stage; the crowd begins to call for an Encore... That unrehearsed encore surpasses the entire rehearsed setlist in connectivity, vivacity, presence and raw emotion; one of the purest forms of expression when the Encore is true... Life imitates music.

Current events seem to highlight the fragility of progress, and some may even feel that our hard-fought advancements are being consumed in flames; however, the Phoenix, representing Hope, will rise from those flames to deliver a true Encore with Love.

----------------------------

The Phoenix will rise for the Encore on Saturday June 21, 2025 from 10am to 3pm for Don’t Hide Your Pride | Rock Hill Pride Outdoor Festival where we will have cold brew coffee and small-batch roasted coffee for all to enjoy at our booth!

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 Limited early-release retail bags are now available at Jack's Café & Wine Bar and The Mercantile, so the Rock Hill community can pick up a bag before anyone else!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Happy Pride! 💜☕🏳️‍🌈

"400 Years To The Past:

Forever, for Always, for all those Invisible that stood,

This is our Periwinkle, this is our doleful Elegy.

400 Years To The Present:

Forever, for Always, for all those Invisible that rise,

This is our Periwinkle, this is our living Battlecry."

“I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids—and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me.” -The Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison, 1952

🚨🚨New Coffee Alert🚨🚨

Happy Pride Month, we have a new coffee release to celebrate!

Think back to a time when televisions were a box set and not a screen, when your evening sitcom was transmitted through a TV antenna or beamed to a large satellite dish out in the yard, instead of streamed through high-speed internet. Late into the night, transmissions would end with the familiar, monotone drone accompanied by colorful, vertical bars. The night owls still up beyond that were met with Rainbow Static; sometimes with hints of audio and picture attempting to break through at times. Eventually, the signal would reform on the TV set. The movement of Pride draws a parallel in that what a community that "Loves Out Loud" in Unity looks like is becoming more clear each day!

Introducing Pride: "Rainbow Static" to the roast line-up:

||Costa Rica Honey Process||

Raspberry, Honey, Citrus, Plum, Milk Chocolate

Available to our Rock Hill community on 06/22/24 from 11am to 5pm for Rock Hill Pride Festival 2024! Stop by the Cheza Roastworks booth for free hot brew samples with refreshing cold brew and fresh roasted coffee for sale! We will be in B***o Alley near The Mercantile, with a photo-op to make memories, so stop by and say hello! Remember to stay cool and caffeinated, Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈💜🌈☕️🔥

🚨🚨New Coffee Alert🚨🚨

The Daisy flower blooms in an array of colours with an equally diverse history of floriculture ranging from Egypt to Scotland to the Americas. Common Daisy themes include comfort, love, joy, and humility, which are in themselves a truly wonderful bouquet of traits. The representative coffee was selected in memoriam of my grandmother, Daisy, and is roasted in honor of my mom, Clarissa, as well as all of the Mothers of the world who have made life a beautiful bouquet for their loved ones. -Dav💛🤍💜☕️

Tasting Notes - Ethiopia Heirloom
Black Cherry, Sweet Florals, Tangerine

Available Saturday, May 11, 2024 from 11am to 4pm at the Mother's Day Market hosted by The Mercantile!

🚨🚨 New Coffee Alert🚨🚨

The Boy and The Starfish
(A Companion to "The Boy and The Butterfly")

Inspired by Loren Eiseley's "The Star Thrower"

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, "What are you doing?" The youth replied, "Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die." The man said, "Son, don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds and hundreds of starfish? You can't make a difference!" After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the ocean. Then, smiling at the man, he said... "I made a difference for that one."

Varietal: Pink Bourbon, Washed Process
Grower: Ciro Valencia - Huila, Colombia

Cup Notes: Sweet Citrus, Starfruit, Floral Candies, Milk Chocolate

Available now to Cheza coffee subscribers, and releasing to change the world one bag at a time on April 27, 2024 for Bloom Coffee & Tea Festival!
