Old Linn Run Coffee Bean Roastery : June 2011

Who we are......by Kandi

Who we are...... by Kandi

It was my desire to have a coffee roasting business in Ligonier Valley for many years. I discovered a transportable roaster and knew that “now was the time”. My partner, Dave was crazy enough to agree to the idea and “so it began”. Our business was established in June, 2010

We ordered the roaster, made with all U.S.A. parts, from a small company out west, traveling nine days round trip to pick it up. It was quite the adventure--- as I’m sure the business will be too.

Our intention is to offer quality coffee that is fresh roasted. This makes all the difference in taste, as our increasing number of coffee “fans” can attest to. To maintain peak freshness, the beans are roasted after they are ordered.

Since our first event, Back to the Garden Market, “just down the road” from us, we’ve brewed and sold coffee at many festivals and markets. Along with purchasing direct from us….our coffee is sold at various other businesses from Rector to Pittsburgh with more in the works. A list is posted. Other businesses have expressed interest and we are receiving a lot of phone and e-mail orders. The positive response is very encouraging.

We hope that once you try our coffee you’ll taste the difference too and become a valued customer and friend as well!!

Coffee is good for you!!

It seems that the last few of these did not post. I never thought to check so shame on me.

In honor of summer and swimsuit season......(something I am not ready for yet again)

METABOLISM BOOSTING FOODS

The amount of caffeine in two cups of java cuts hunger by 35% and boosts metabolism by about 50 calories.

1/2 tsp of cinnamon causes the body to metabolize sugar 20 times faster, resulting in less hunger and fewer fat storage hormones
