FGmarket’s Weekly Pick — Old Pine Coffee Roasters

Revival Coffee Company Roasts Beans With A Purpose

Vendor Spotlight

Coffee is ingrained into almost every person’s life. Whether you use it to wake yourself up in the morning or drink it for pleasure, coffee has been used for thousands of years to give people delight, and brighten up their mood.

But what if there was a coffee company that made delicious coffee, and at the same time helped to make the world a better place through charity? You don’t have to look any further than Revival Coffee Company to find a business that does just that!

Located in historical Selma, Alabama, known as the Black Belt region of Alabama, Revival Coffee Company seeks to not only make some of the best tasting, and professionally roasted coffee beans in the country, but to also change people’s lives by giving to multiple charities across a wide range of issues.

The Story

Ryan Bergeron, the owner of Revival Coffee Company, got his start after bouncing around to a few different jobs in the state of Alabama and failing to find something that really grabbed his attention. It was also during this time that he, as he likes to describe it, “got smoked by Jesus and knew that I was called to do more.” In early 2014, a good friend of Ryan’s who owned G Momma Cookies gave him the idea to start his own business, and after a lot of praying and soul searching, Ryan started Revival Coffee Company.

After taking a few cupping courses from Mane’ Alves, one of the top cuppers in the world, Ryan trained with a master roaster in New York to learn the skills he needed to roast coffee beans the correct way, to bring out the most flavor.

Revival Coffee Company currently operates out of a restored building that was once desolate and unused, a fitting metaphor for the vision behind this coffee company. Revival seeks to “not only awaken people every morning with specialty coffees but to also awaken hope in peoples’ lives that all things can be made good.”

The Coffee

Ryan and the team at Revival Coffee Company want to make sure you and your customers know exactly what they’re getting with each roast and coffee blend. That’s why they always include the origin of the coffee beans, the cupping notes (aroma and flavor), and the type of roast on each bag of coffee.

Just take their “Revival” Blend: this delicious medium roast coffee originates from the continent of South America and features cupping notes of chocolate and nutty flavors. Like your coffee a little on the darker side? Try the “Redemption” Blend. This dark roast blend originates from Indonesia/Africa, and features cupping notes of sweet, cherry, dark chocolate, and earth notes. This coffee in particular also serves a mission of helping to free someone from human trafficking, which is just one of the missions that Revival Coffee Company uses a portion of their profits to support.

The Mission

Revival Coffee Company supports four different missions by using 10% of the profits made from certain coffee blends to aid these causes. There are four main missions that Revival supports: Integrity Worldwide, Teen Challenge, Crisis Aid International, and Sav A Life. Each mission has a specific coffee blend that corresponds to that mission: Integrity, Restoration, Redemption, and Salvation blends.

Each of these missions serves to aid the world in a variety of different situations, including free meals for children, helping teenagers addicted to drugs, stopping human trafficking, and funding pregnancy resource centers. The money that you and your customers spend on these coffee blends will go back into the community and the world to help make the world a more livable and safe place for everyone.

So whether you’re a drip, pour over, french press, percolator, or single serve kind of coffee drinker, Revival Coffee Company has the delicious blends that will please your customers, and help to serve some great charities across the world!

Cajun Creole Products Gets Spicy With Hot Nuts Snacks

by Leave a Comment

Vendor Spotlight

The fine people at Cajun Creole Products didn’t start their business making their flavorful, famous brand of in-the-shell hot peanuts. They actually started with something a little more traditionally Cajun.

In 1978, Cajun Creole Products began roasting and blending their brand of New Orleans style Cajun Chicory Coffee in New Iberia, Louisiana, 20 miles southeast of Lafayette.

But it was in 1989 that the company invented a unique, never before done process of seasoning peanuts inside the shell. And that’s how Cajun Creole’s Hot Nuts were born.

These in-the-shell peanuts are full of spicy, hot Cajun flavoring that has become well known throughout the world. The geographical location of Cajun Creole Products puts it right smack dab in the middle of the “sweetest, saltiest and pepperiest place on the planet,” according to their website.

Cajun Creole Products Hot Nuts

According to customers who have tried and enjoyed Cajun Creole’s Hot Nuts, there is tons of flavor in their products. “I am presently stationed in Afghanistan. A Colonel over here gave me a bag of your Hot Cajun Nuts and I’m hooked. I just ordered 6 bags so I can return the favor and let others know about your product” said one customer, while another exclaimed, “Wow! Flavor and heat, but not too much. Good work.”

Cajun Creole Coffee and Chicory

A lot of people ask Cajun Creole how they get all of that flavor into the shell and onto the peanuts. While they may not be inclined to give away all their secrets, they do offer a wide range of original spices and seasonings for customers looking to cook their own delicious foods.

Smokeless Blackened Seasoning, Spicy Seasoning, and Pepper Potpourri are their most popular flavors, but they also offer a Cajun Creole Spice Sampler for those looking to try out all of the delicious and mouth-watering spices from Cajun Creole.

And, of course, they also offer their original New Orleans Style Chicory Coffee, for customers that love a good cup o’ joe. They have Cajun Creole Coffee Pure — their original coffee roast — and Coffee and Chicory roast.

For products that deliver a blast of delicious, spicy Cajun flavoring every time, check out the offerings from Louisiana’s own Cajun Creole Products!

Although the company started out as a specialty coffee company, making coffee blends with the signature Cajun chicory, Cajun Creole Products soon evolved into spicier endeavors.

Cajun Creole Products started in 1978 in New Iberia, Louisiana, a place known as the “sweetest, saltiest and pepperiest place on the planet.” In 1989 they developed a way to season peanuts in the shell, and thus their Cajun Creole Hot Nuts were born!

Hot Nuts

If you’re looking for spice for your store, they have a great selection available, featuring unique blends and flavors of the Cajun culture.

So, if your customers are looking for a little more spice in their lives, supply them with Cajun Creole Products!

Fresh From The Valley

If there’s one thing customer’s love, it’s a perfectly roasted coffee bean. And isn’t finding what customer’s love and providing it to them the basic job description of a small business owner? Still, finding the perfect bean isn’t as easy as it sounds. But don’t worry, we’ve already done the work for you.

It’s time to check out Baird Rock Farm!

The Secret is in The Roast

When it comes to roasting coffee beans, quality must always trump quantity. At least that’s how owner Rebecca Baird sees it. She takes the necessary time to slow roast every batch to bring out that full-bodied caramel flavor.

Many roasters will crank the oven over 500 degrees and have a batch of roasted beans in fifteen minutes, but Rebecca feels that this quick roasting method has a negative impact on flavor. She instead lets her beans roast at a low temperature for a full half hour, and then incrementally increases the temperature over time until she has reached the desired level of roast (light, medium, dark or espresso).

The process takes longer, but the difference in flavor is significant.

And even better, each order is roasted when you make it, not before. This ensures fresh beans with optimal flavor and aroma.

Flavors Abound

So what kinds of flavors are available? Plenty, and each is carefully roasted to perfection. Not to mention that most of them are available in whatever roast level you prefer.

Try the mouth-pleasing Cinnamon and Hazelnut, the perfect Coconut Creme or the incomparable Organic Bali Blue Moon which contains woody, smokey, earthy, chocolate and cherry notes. The options are varied and they are all amazing!

Beyond Coffee

But this company doesn’t just provide coffee. Are your customers looking for bar soap with the fresh scent of raspberry and peach? How about pro-vitamin B lotion with shea butter, cocoa butter and argon oil? You’ll find all of these and so much more when you shop their beauty lines and DIY beauty accessories.

And they use the same standards of quality with their beauty lines as they do with their coffee. Rebecca said,

“My greatest concern is how the product works for the customer.”

If you are looking to carry amazing coffee or wonderful beauty products, head over to Baird Rock Farm today!
