The Monks have a new flavored coffee: Amaretto!   It’s smooth, with that delectable almond taste that is perfect at any time of the day.  For a dessert, you can add a little sugar and whipped cream to make a delightful treat.    To order, please visit the Mystic Monk web page using this special URL:   http://www.mysticmonkcoffee.com/store/?aid=137

On the subject of flavored coffees; we still have a limited amount of the Pascha Java available.  If you haven’t got some already, I suggest you do so now – It won’t be available again until Christmas time. It’s available here.

If you don’t like flavored coffees, our Easter Sunrise Blend is a fantastic breakfast coffee.  Expert coffee reviewer Kenneth Davids, awarded it a very good 91 point rating!  Here’s some of what he said about it:

 ”Intense, idiosyncratic, original… Dried date, raisin, dark chocolate, distinct lavender top notes. Deep-toned acidity; heavily syrupy mouthfeel. Smoothes and sweetens a bit in the finish, but retains its weighty, savory richness.”  (Kenneth Davids, Coffee Review, April 2012.)

You can see the Easter Sunrise Blend here

Every purchase of Mystic Monk Coffee supports not only the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming, but also, when purchased through the links above or the link on our web page, the Frisco chapter of St Vincent de Paul.    So indulge a little and support both the contemplative monks and the poor and needy in the Frisco area.

The weather is starting to warm up in Wyoming where the Carmelite Monks are looking forward to a beautiful spring and continuing to brew their delicious coffee.

For the month of March, they have Irish Cream coffee available!  It’s pleasantly strong and smooth with a richness that is simply irresistible.   If you order in the next couple of days, you’ll be able to enjoy some on St. Patrick’s day.

Try some in honor of one of the most famous Irish saints!

If you don’t drink flavored coffees, we have the very fine Flores Organic Bajawa Ngura, a fantastic Indonesian coffee that received a high 91 point rating from world-renowned coffee reviewer, Kenneth Davids.

A portion of each sale made through the St Vincent de Paul link helps support our conference.   Please click on the link to the right..  or follow this link to order your Mystic Monk Coffee

Ladies, did you know just cleaning out your clothes can help a family in need? Really!  After you have gone through your closets, you can turn those discarded clothes – that are just like new – into cash to help St. Vincent de Paul help our friends in need.
