8 MAY 08 CUP MORE, LEARN MORE,
HAVE MORE BROWN FUN . . . What fun we had last Saturday at our Coffee Cupping Event. We made about a dozen new friends and walked through some of the basics of the coffee story, culminating with some hands on coffee cupping time in our coffee lab. Due to the positive feedback we have received from the first three of these events, Brown has decided that holding them on a regular basis is well in order. Look for upcoming details about when we will have our next event and what sort of schedule we expect them to keep.

There's nothing like relaxin' in the summer shade in your favorite t-shirt under a tree...or a business sign. To celebrate the approval of our final permits here at our new HQ we are offering a commemorative, limited-edition t-shirt depicting the unique sign we inherited out front of our new roasterie.

25 FEB 08 SOME SAD NEWS AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP. . .
Most of you who have been Brown customers for any amount of time know how much we love the coffee and people behind Guatemala's Finca Vista Hermosa. We are very saddened to report the tragic death of the farm's manager, Carlos, at age 47 and one of his twelve children, "little" Edwin, 16. The details are here and here; but the tragedy is that they were ambushed and killed carrying supplies and payroll cash back to the farm.
We also want to give you the chance to donate to a memorial fund that has been set up to help Carlos' widow Juana care for their eleven remaining children. Please consider donating here in any amount you can. All monies will go directly to Juana. Thank you for your generosity.
