I remember the first time I opened a bag of Hacienda Alsacia. I was instantly brought back to a field of stargazer lilies in California. The scent was so floral, and so sweet, and unlike any coffee I had ever smelled before. Pairing this coffee with lavender seemed like a natural progression, so I made it iced and added a dash of Scrappy’s bitters. It was perfection.
Carrying a bottle of bitters around is kind of awkward (even for me) so the idea for these sugarcubes was born. These also make excellent champagne cocktails. trust me……..

My friend Tiffany works at the Roastery in Seattle, but she lives in here in Kitsap county. She started this whole “Roastery on the road”concept; bringing the coffee culture in to core stores. She invited me to join her, she would bring the coffee, and I would bring the food. Sounds pretty perfect 😉

Extraordinary coffee comes from extraordinary environments, and this rare offering comes from the century-old Rio Verde farm—a veritable paradise of mountains and waterfalls, native forests and ocean breezes.
