Mystic Monk Coffee At The Franciscan University Of Steubenville

"Last year, the Monks of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel, a very small community of 13 Carmelites in northwestern Wyoming, began roasting and selling their own coffee.

"Mystic Monk Coffee, says floor manager Brother Elias, was started as a way of generating income not only to help keep the community active ("manual labor is so important... we can't just pray all day") and self-sufficient, but also to build a monastery. "We couldn't see selling hundreds of jars of jams; and we drink a lot of coffee." The monks get their coffee from brokers, then roast it on a Diedrich roaster ("we got the Cadillac of roasters") using profiles set up by master roaster Brother Michael Mary, who worked in a Minneapolis coffee house before coming to Wyoming to study for the priesthood. The monks' website offers 21 kinds of coffee, including Hermit's Bold, a lovely blend of Sumatran and Guatemalan beans. Well-rounded, with notes of molasses and black pepper, a cup of the brew might be just the thing for those moments of silent contemplation."

Fair Trade Organic

Mystic Monk Coffee is pleased to offer the socially conscious consumer a coffee that respects the value of every human life, especially the unborn. Fair Trade/Organic is a decision to act with social justice. With the silky rich garnish of chocolate, Guatemalan has an acidity that is enjoyable with or without cream. From a distant land of beauty, enjoy a coffee that many consider to be one of the finest. The Portiuncula is tithing all Mystic Monk Coffee sales to Birthright; a loving alternative to abortion!
