Muiraquitã by NXXT Coffee (Brazil) from $25
Muiraquitã A Muiraquitã is a symbol of fortune, good luck, prosperity and fertility.  The specific design on this bag is from a region of Brazil in the far north, where the frog is carved out in tiny amulets and often hung on a string as a necklace, to be gifted to one another.  It is very common for it to be presented to guests, new friends, and visitors to the region. Primarily carved out of jade, other stone, or wood, we chose this as the symbol for our Brazilian Cerrado because we want your coffee to be a symbol of prosperity and good fortune for you too.  This origin comes from the Cerrado region of Brazil, known for the highest quality beans in the country. The World's largest producer of coffee, responsible for one-third of coffee consumed on the planet. It is grown on nearly 300,000 farms, where it is generally strip-picked and processed using the dry method. Light in body and medium-low in acidity, Brazilian beans are characterized by their earthy, nutty undertones. All coffee is roasted daily and fresh!

Why?

We started this company for people like us. People who enjoy nice things. Who love things that taste great, look great, are great, and have a great energy to them. We started off with just coffee, but as our team evolved and our passions, we also evolved the brand. While you see NXXT - Which stands for "Next Level" as our brand across our latest items, you also see "Shady Lion Coffee" on many things too. We started off as Shady Lion Coffee, and that will always remain our roots, but all good things change and so from our competition-grad Jiu Jitsu and MMA Rash Guards, to our everyday gear like hats and hoodies, or our Next Level journal for life, we are all about bringing you products that elevate your energy. - Derek LaCrone, Founder

La Jolla Vibe (Kona Line)

Quality

Most likely the coffee you drink is not very good and you don't even know it. It's ok, many of our customers were right where you are. Just trying to get a quick fix, not realizing that their whole coffee experience could be way better, from taste to smell to feel. We roast the highest quality beans with cup ratings (fancy coffee term) of up to the low. and mid 90's. Your coffee might score an 80 on a good day.

Roasted fresh, mold free, no garbage

There's a lot of marketing gimmicks out there, and don't even get us started on people advertising their coffee as "gluten free," if it's not gluten-free then it's not coffee! LOL. Most of the stickers you see at the grocery store these days are paid for and it's almost like there's an "organic" and "local" mafia where if you buy into the club you can say your beef from Brazil was "Packaged locally." Don't fall for weak marketing gimmicks, coffee is coffee and there. is good coffee and there is coffee that's not as good. Our coffee is great and one of the most common things we hear. is "I didn't know coffee could taste like this." We know coffee, so from selecting the beans to roasting them and packing them at peak freshness, our whole process is dialed in to deliver you the best. Yes, your order is only roasted after you actually order it, so it's not sitting in a warehouse somewhere hoping you buy it. If you order it right now, we will roast it during our normal roasting hours of Monday through Friday and ship it to you as soon as it's degassed and packaged.

The Famous Roast

This Sweet Lily Ethiopian has a point rating of 92-92 making it one of the top 1% rated coffees on the planet. Better flavor and a better coffee experience.
