Autumn is when Vermont shines. The Green Mountains are breathtaking and vibrant in their fall colors, and we're roasting coffee to reflect that! Here are the autumn inspired sensations that I'm enjoying this month.
Fall Coffee Flavors
Autumn Spice Coffee- The aromas of hot roasted nuts, melting butter, spicy rum and cinnamon combine to make this one of my favorite fall coffee flavors.
Harvest Blend Coffee- Our master roaster selects a blend of new crop coffee beans to create a crisp and vibrant coffee just for this gorgeous change of season.
Pumpkin Spice Coffee- Just the perfect amount of spice reminds Vermonters of the fall bounty so special to our unique place in the world. I recommend serving this after dinner to your friends and family.
Be sure to visit the Brown and Jenkins home page to get the coupon code for a dollar off these fall flavored coffees. And yes, you can still order the ekobrew filter adapter for your Keurig coffee machine, and coffee club member still get a discount!
Coffee Tasting on Saturdays
Don't forget that every Saturday during peak leaf season I'll be hosting a coffee tasting event here at the roastery. Just stop in during the day and see what coffees we are offering.
If you're thinking about visiting Vermont to look at our beautiful scenery, this is the time to do it! Just driving along the winding mountain roads you are bound to catch an eyeful of colorful changing leaves, pumpkins, and small town charm. Stop by and warm up with me over a cup of coffee and a biscotti!
Until our next cup,

Pairing Vermont Coffee with Fall Foliage
Good Morning Coffee Lovers,
Autumn in the Green Mountains is a sensory experience of sights and smells. The cooler temperatures, changing leaves, and slow appearance of pumpkins are just some of the signs that fall is gently guiding us towards another snowy Vermont winter.
In preparation for the mass of tourists (leaf peepers) who are heading our way, I've decided to host a coffee tasting every Saturday during the fall foliage season.
We have over 70 coffees, and will offer 2 single origin and 2 blends for tasting each week. Of course, we will also carry fresh baked muffins from the Vermont summer berry and autumn apple harvest, as well as other local Vermont food products.
Here are some flavor profiles from some of the coffees we roast:
Brazilian Bourbon Santos Coffee
Frankly, this is the highest grade coffee from Brazil and the only that meets Brown and Jenkins' quality standards. Santos coffee beans are grown in Sao Paulo and named for the island of Bourbon from which they were first imported. These coffee beans create a coffee that has a medium body, smooth flavor, and moderate acidity.
After Dinner Blend Coffee
Master roaster Glenn combines Costa Rican coffee beans, Columbian coffee beans, and a small amount of French Roast. The Columbian coffee beans contribute a full bodied flavor, while the Costa Rican coffee is clean, well-balanced and bright. The French Roast bring a bit of boldness to the mix.
Ekobrew Filter Adapter
Don't forget we are now carrying an adapter for your convenient Keurig brewer for the coffee you love. This solves the environmental, cost, and quality issues of the old K-Cups.
Our area of Vermont is well recovered from the recent storms. So come and see us, and the beautiful leaves, this fall. Stop by any Saturday and try out a new coffee blend.
Until our next cup,
