Website Updates

I've made quite a few updates to my website www.princessvaliant.com .  There are several new coffees on the shopping page and revisions to most of the others. Online prices have gone up just a little, reflecting the crazy increases in the price of green coffee over the last six months. It's more than a little painful for a small roastery like mine.

One of my new coffees is quite lovely, and unusual. I expected Indonesian Blue Java to be similar to Sumatra, but not at all!  Just a couple of days post-roast, the fragrance of fruit (apricot and plum) was wonderful - and it's very smooth and low in acidity. Definitely worth a try.

The Papua New Guinea Madan Plantation is now gone, and I just have a little Rwanda Kopakama left. New coffees to the lineup include Peru San Juan Del Oro and Panama Boquete Estate.

In other news: Country Aire in downtown Port Angeles is now carrying my one ounce "Cocoa Maya" chocolate bars in addition to Princess Valiant Coffee. Christie Johnston of Johnston Farms is now selling my whole bean coffee at her booth at the Port Angeles Farmers' Market. A selection of my ground coffee can also be found at Necessities and Temptations, across from the Coho Ferry Terminal.

Be sure to stop by the Plaid Pepper if you're driving through Quilcene, Washington on the Hood Canal this summer. Debbie Williams has a wonderful shop and is selling my coffee packaged as "Dabob Bay Blend" in serious volume.  This week she'll also start carrying my one ounce Cocoa Maya chocolate bars.
