Our Rule explains that as monks we need to earn our keep by the work of our hands. We were praying about what sort of product most people utilize on a daily basis, and it came to us that everyone needs coffee to start the day. On our side of things, roasting coffee can be very contemplative. It only takes one monk to run the roaster and bag the coffee, so it is very complimentary to our life.
They are going to be offering a wide variety of blends and flavors, including Columbian, Chocolate Raspberry, Chocolate Mint (I am so there) and, of course, Carmel. They’ll also be offering a double-handled mug, so you can drink your joe like a Carmelite. (Kind of like wearing the scapular but without the graces.)
Thanks to the Curt Jester for the heads-up.

Oh wow…drooling. The raspberry and mint variations sound delicious.

Mystic Monk Coffee is the Best Coffee I have EVER Tasted! These monks really have perfected the fine art of gourmet coffee roasting! My Favorite is the Mint Chocolate
dark roast flavored coffee, it satisfies my love of coffee and chocolate all in one aromatic cup! The Monks have lowered their price per bag, but I would buy my coffee from them no matter what the price! Here is what we support by buying our coffee from them,(in their own words):
Thank you for your interest in our Mystic Monk Coffee! By buying your coffee from us you are taking action on your Catholic faith by supporting our Carmelite Monastery. We believe that every Catholic should make their coffee dollar speak, as you may or may not know, many coffee roasting companies use their profits to support anti-life, anti-family organizations. When you buy your coffee from Mystic Monk Coffee you can be sure that your money is building up the Body of Christ. Our gourmet coffees make great gifts for friends and family, so remember Mystic Monk Coffee when it comes time for gift giving.
