There are some relationships that by their very nature are so complex, so convoluted that they defy comprehension, baffling even the most experienced and learned with their elaborate mazes rife with narrow paths that twist and turn but ultimately lead nowhere. Many have been driven mad by such associations, finding no comfort in the truth that only a few can be ever be deciphered and even then not completely.

For all you who may feel your sanity slipping away, Stone Creek Coffee is here to offer up an example of a relationship so clear and concise that it shall empty the shadows from your eyes. This simple, uncomplicated thing is known as Relationship Coffee and it's just what we'll be sampling and learning about at the tomorrow's cupping event.

A relationship coffee consists of those green coffee beans Stone Creek purchases wholesale without the assistance of importers or exporters. As our master roaster Stephen Bybee puts it, "The hallmark of a relationship coffee is directness and transparency, as well as the knowledge that the money we pay for that coffee goes directly to the farm, rather than to middlemen." See, it's just like we told ya--clear, simple, with no entanglements and no potential crazy-making effects.

Come join us tomorrow at 9:00AM at the Stone Creek Factory, 422 N. 5th Street in Milwaukee , for our free cupping event. In this wacky world we live in, it's one of the only sure ways to keep from going off your nut.
