Coffee is much more than a warm drink to get you started in the morning. Tea is more than just a relaxing afternoon beverage. Coffee and tea are experiences, journeys, and even nostalgic memories. At EccentriciTeas (and Coffees!) we offer only products personally experienced on our own travels around the planet. Each item comes with a story about how we encountered it and a lot more background about the areas and adventures involved.
EccentriciTeas (and Coffee!) was inspired by our holistic view of living life on purpose. We only get one shot at this, so let’s live fully and try to make the world a better place for others while we are at it. Here, we bring together our passions for travel, storytelling, and of course, a love of great coffee and tea. When all these things come together, we have an experience worth sharing!
We hope you find this experience not only informative but also a bit of fun and quirky. We don’t only sell the finest coffee, tea, and accessories; our vision is to become an interactive community. Come and experience vicariously some of the destinations the EccentriciTeas (and Coffee!) journey takes us on.
• Your coffee is freshly roasted when you place an order. When you order, your coffee will be roasted and shipped the very same day to ensure you with the freshest coffee possible.
Some roasters pre-package or vacuum-seal their coffee; those coffees have been roasted days or even weeks in advance! Our coffee is heat-sealed in a valve bag, and here’s why. When coffee is freshly roasted, it releases carbon dioxide for up to 48 hours. If we vacuum-seal fresh coffee immediately after roasting, the bag will explode because there is no way for the carbon dioxide to escape. Each bag has a valve that only lets air flow one way. It releases carbon dioxide without allowing any outside air to come into the bag, so your coffee is guaranteed to be absolutely fresh.
