While we’ve had the trip planned for months, we’re finally en route to two coffee producing companies to meet with farmers who grow the product we are so proud to serve.
We’ll be visiting 3 or 4 farms and coops in the famous Tarrazu and Naranjo regions of Costa Rica. Additionally, we’ll be skipping south to Colombia, and, visit the renown Finca El Roble, home of our Mesa de los Santos and Colombian Don Telmo coffees.
We’ll be forging new and building on top of existing relationships with the farmers of the coffees directly. Many thanks to our roaster, New Harvest Coffee, & importer, Royal Coffee NYC.

We know you’re shopping right now, or at least thinking about shopping, or, thinking about the fact that you need to be thinking about shopping for the Holidays.
Blue State Coffee has a variety of promotions to help you with the holidays this season. Chances are good the persons you’re shopping for drink coffee (or tea, chai, cocoa, etc). Don’t worry about finding the “perfect” gift, just give the one they can’t live without!
It’s Better to Give Than Receive
Offer your friend/family/favorite T.A. a $30 gift card and you’ll receive a $10 card or $10 on your existing account, or, a $50 card for your friend, nets you $15. Looks like this.
Gift Boxes Go A Long Way
They need coffee, they need a coffee drinking vessel. We thought of it all. Three selected pounds of organic, fairly traded Blue State Coffee and a famed BSC mug (as seen in the White House). Buy your $40 gift box in the store, in advance and we’ll ship it there for you, for free. You can buy gift boxes online with $5 shipping, here.
New Haven Store Only – $1 Coffee Until the Ball Drops
Buy a 100% US Grown corn, biodegrable travel mug with the BSC logo for $15 and receive $1 coffee until the New Year. You save a dollar every time you fill it up. Get a jump start on your resolution to stop wasting paper cups and start saving money!
New Haven Tricycle Holiday Party Booking
Having a holiday bash that wouldn’t be great without great coffee? Book the BSC Tricycle at your holiday party and we’ll show up with delicious organic coffee, whatever cupcake and tasty treats you desire and possibly elf shoes. (Okay, maybe no elf shoes.) Email events@bluestatecoffee.com for more information.
