Get Your Blue Coffee Here!

This link was sent to me by a friend. Blue State Coffee, a new brand, is out there with the following mission statement:
  • To offer organic, fairly traded coffee, roasted to perfection.
  • To donate half our profits after taxes to causes that reflect our Democratic values.
  • To unite a community of people who care about what's happening in this country.

Here's their story:

Every time you drink a cup of our premier quality, perfectly roasted, fairly traded coffee, you're contributing to a positive movement for change in this country.

The idea struck one Saturday morning during a coffee-and-donuts run for the rest of the family. Standing in line, we started talking politics. "Wouldn't it be great," Drew commented, studying the elaborate menu, "if profits from all of these lattes could be channeled into great causes?"

It made sense. People wouldn't need to find more time or spend more money. They could enjoy the highest quality coffee and support the progressive causes our community cares about.

A year later, with the help of some like-minded friends, Blue State Coffee opened for business.

We hope you'll read more about our coffee and how we donate. And please be in touch. That's what Blue State Coffee is all about.

Drink liberally.

The coffee is a tad on the expensive side, but worth it. I might place an order and give it a try. You should too.
