Q: When is the expiration date?
A: Hi, Jenny! While we do not know the "Best if Used By" date of the items that will be shipped, we did want to let you know that our ground coffee does have a 34 week shelf life from the date it is packaged. We hope that this information is helpful! -Teresa

Q: What are the "natural flavors" in vanilla and mocha flavored coffee?
A: Here’s how we flavor our coffee beans: 1. Select a blend of beans with the right flavor profile to perfectly accent a desired flavor. 2. Select a highly concentrated syrup of the highest quality to infuse into the coffee beans 3. Add whole beans straight from the roaster while they are still warm into a mixer. 4. Add 3% of the weight of the beans in syrup (if we added more flavoring than that, the coffee wouldn’t taste very good—it would actually burn your tongue because of how concentrated the flavored syrup is!). 5. Allow the syrup and beans to spin in the mixer for about 15 minutes. 6. After 15 minutes, the beans have absorbed the syrup and its aroma. Coffee absorbs the syrup so well because they act like mini sponges—it’s the beans’ microscopic porous texture that allow almost any flavor to be infused into it.
