Today I am proud to share with you guest coffee 2013 number 2 in Valentines Day Massacre.

Each month throughout the year there will be a new blend with an original label in a different style of bag. For February there will only be 500 (because of the tiny micro lot of Colombian that brings the floral and champagne effervescence) and each bag will be marked with a unique limited edition number.

These are the blends most roasters would be scared to share with you, but not us fearless souls at Has Bean Towers with our thinking outside the box, red sky thinking (I know its meant to be blue but I think everything should be red!) and all the other stupid business sayings you can think of. In the cup think unbalanced off the wall experiments that are tasty but never normal and always a bit unusual.

We have also decided to name them with equally appropriate stupidness!

Valentine’s Day Massacre, a tip of the hat to Al Capone and the famous gang fight on Valentine’s day 1929. Now of course we don’t in any way endorse gang fighting, murder or the mob, but are 100% behind silly names.

Mobster Leighton insists you try this espresso before prohibition kicks in and we have to remove all coffee from the shelves.

Being a coffee geek can be a fairly lonely business, so make sure you get at least one Valentine’s day card this year.

In the espresso, this is a little tamer than last months (well it had to be), it’s a box of chocolates with champagne effervescence and some amazing floral tones. What else do you need apart from a Valentine’s day card to say I love you?

If your easily offended or don’t like fun, then maybe skipping the video below is for you 🙂

An idea I had a while back suddenly came back to me just before christmas.

We do lots of work blending here. Lots of blends that are a little bit edgy and challenging, and normally wouldn’t see the light of day on the website with fear of shock and upsetting the masses. Tasty and delicious and amazing, but different and challenging and a little out there.

Not ones to be scared here at Has Bean Towers we have decided to share these with you as we find them on a month by month basis. At the beginning of the each month we will release a limited number (this month its just 1000 bags) of the new blend. Limited edition labels will be on the limited edition bags all numbered with your unique bag number, and while we are at it we will have a little bit of fun too with videos and maybe some surprises.

You can take your chances and buy these one by one, or you can sign up this month only for the entire block of them, delivered to your door, sent out the day before release on the website. Once the first release is sold out this subscription will come down and you will not be able to guarantee the next batch releases, this is the only way.

We do plan to do some much smaller runs of these for one or two of the blends because of the amounts of the coffees we can actually get, so there may be months where subscribers only get them or a VERY limited amount make it to the site for sale.

Non of these will be an In My Mug subscription, so if your looking to add a little something interesting to your subscription already, then this is your moment.

We have decided to name them with equally appropriate stupidness, so with that in mind I present to you this months offering called Hangover Cure

A sure fire way to remedy those Christmas and new years blues, after all the over indulgence this is the perfect pick me up tonic to blow away the cobwebs of returning to work and motivating yourself to get to the gym to loose that Christmas podge.

Dr Leighton prescribes many espresso shots to be taken many times a day.

In the espresso, this is full on punch in the face, with a bunch of flowers to say sorry for the devastation. Ying and yang have a pub brawl in your mouth. Floral, lemony and a whole heap of funk.

60% Ethiopia Wote Natural

30% Bolivia Finca Inquisivi Senora Bherta De Miranda
