ABOUT BLIND TIGER COFFEE

Hello there! BLIND TIGER COFFEE is a coffee roaster/coffee catering company that has been in operation since 2013, based in Old Town, Maine ("CANOE TOWN, VACATIONLAND,” bb). We love sweet coffees and coffees that have personality. By most folks standards, we roast coffee that tends to be medium-light/light-medium in profile. Ultimately, though, we prefer to let our tongues and noses dictate where the roast goes and not color. The world of coffee is a vast one and choices can be staggering sometimes. To help cut through the potential noise, we prefer to keep our offerings to two mainstay blends and a few limited releases that phase in and out every six-ish weeks. We do our best to carry something for every type of coffee drinker.

As of the moment, we roast coffee weekly, on Mondays, Tuesdays, and a liiiiittle at the end of the week. We ask that you place your orders by Monday, midnight. Coffee is bagged and shipped on Wednesday. If you place an order after said deadline and we happen to have enough coffee left over, we’re happy to fulfill your order and get in the mail for you by Thursday or Friday. You will receive tracking once your order is facilitated, okay?

We mail to all 50 states. We can mail to Canada, too… send us an email ;-)

Our Philosophy:
We want to make something.
We want you to make something.
We want you to act alive with other people in the real time...
& we truly want to help participate in an inclusive and caring community (the party is better when everyone is invited).
Maybe coffee could help with that...

We do our best to source and roast coffee that is ethically produced and paid for while keeping prices something close to (or actually?) affordable. It’s harder to do than you might think. Again, we think the coffee party is better when everyone is invited. And in reality, we think the more obvious solution is to pay workers in the US more so we can pay other workers in the coffee belt fair sums for the fruit of their labor. Coffee can feel like class war sometimes and everyone loses except folks at the top. But we don’t like that, so we’re trying to walk a fine line. (Blind Tiger is for the people, that’s why we’re Blind Tiger and not Blind Pig (look it up)) Who knows if this is working? We’ll see???Also, we’re trying to keep it sustainable. So, we use a variety of bags; some are compostable, others are carbon neutral and allegedly recyclable (and here’s to hoping your community has a healthy, honest, and reliable recycling program). And we ship via UPS and USPS cuz they’re down with unions, just like us. Okay, well, we gotta get back to work. <3 btc
