Certified Organic, Fairly Traded Coffee Roasted in the Shenandoah Valley

When I was in business classes, we learned about “complementary goods and services.”  These are products that are consumed with other products.  For example, if you’re in the business of selling hot dogs, you might also offer buns and ketchup.

For the longest time, I’ve thought about what are the complementary goods to the conversation and listening promoted by The OrangeBand Initiative, Harrisonburg Summits, and the work at the Community Mediation Center (soon to be renamed the Fairfield Center).  Well, yesterday we announced a perfect complement to any conversation:

Grounds for Conversation

Yes, our own line of coffee!  What goes better with conversation than coffee? And not just any coffee.  This coffee is certified organic, fairly traded, and roasted right here in the Shenandoah Valley within 24 hours of when we place an order.

All orders are pick-up only, so we’ll need to make special arrangements for anyone out of the area.  There are four choices for Grounds for Conversation:

Four Quality Choices!

All coffee comes ground in 12oz bags, and is roasted the day we place your order!

Mediator’s Medium

Named for our core service, Mediator Medium has a mild acidity, light body and smooth flavor. Featuring a vanilla toned sweetness, this fine organic deserves appreciation as a distinctive specialty coffee.

Summit Sensation

Named for the Harrisonburg Summit series, Summit Sensation is a blend of wonderful Organic coffees from South and Central America. A nutty, caramel like flavor, with a full bodied, heady aroma.

Facilitator’s French Roast

When coffee is dark roasted its acidity and flavor is subdued. For that reason our French Roast is a blend of coffee’s which are renowned for their acidity and full flavor. This allows those of you who love dark roasts to still enjoy the best flavor in your cup.

Listener’s Decaf

The Listener’s Decaf is a blend of Central and South American beans, hand- selected from the finest farms in their regions. We roast these beans to a medium dark brown to release their rich, full flavor and accentuate the exceptional body and perfect balance. This is a water-processed coffee (12oz, ground bag).
