In
2004, my wife and I made a decision to pursue a mission of serving our
community. We desired to establish a business that would facilitate involvement
of our family and also provide a genuine sense of purpose. Prior to this
pursuit, my wife and I had enjoyed successful careers in Mechanical Engineering
and Computer Engineering, respectively. While we were achieving financial
success in our lives, we felt that our calling was for something else. We began
to pray that God would reveal to us how we could better serve Him, our family
and our community. After many months of prayer, the answer was given to us, or
more accurately, spilled on me … coffee! We feel that coffee is very comforting
to the physical body, but also wanted to minister to the spiritual body. This is
where God led us to place a scripture verse inside each bag of Blessed Bean
Coffee we sell. It is sort of the Cracker Jack surprise we all remember as a
child. Each bag has a unique truth from God’s word that will hopefully minister
to the spiritual needs of the individual every time they open up a bag of our
coffee. We love the opportunity that God has given us to spread the Good News of
His Son while also providing exceptional fresh roasted gourmet coffee! We have
faith that our coffee will minister to both your physical and spiritual needs in
harmony!
For centuries, coffee has been something that people could enjoy while
fellowshipping with one another. By bringing together two things that we love
(God and coffee,) we felt that we had the recipe for a successful business. With
the current craze over coffee, however, we knew that we would have to provide a
product that was incomparable in quality and freshness. To ensure freshness, our
superior quality coffee is immediately packaged after roasting into bags with a
special one-way valve. Fresh roasted coffee produces carbon dioxide for the
first few days and without this special valve, the bags would explode! Most
coffee roasters get around this by letting their coffee “de-gas” prior to
packaging it. This greatly compromises the freshness and quality of the coffee.
The key to providing the freshest coffee possible is to minimize as much
exposure to oxygen as possible. Our packaging allows us to do just that!
Today, Blessed Bean Coffee, LLC continues to grow through internet sales,
wholesale, bulk sales and private labeling. Our commercial clientele include
cafés, banks, restaurants, bookstores and churches around the country. Due to
the unique needs of each of our customers, Blessed Bean Coffee offers custom
roasting/consultation to ensure they each receive the precise coffee/blend for
their needs, roasted to the proper degree.
