| The Common to Old South | 3 | $66.99 |
| As far as Faneuil Hall | 6 | $134.99 |

The names come from Boston's Freedom Trail, which the first year of boxes follows one stop at a time. Send a gift.
For someone who left Massachusetts
People who grew up here and moved away know what they miss. Some of it you cannot mail. Coffee roasted in the state they left, you can. A gift from us sends a bag from a different Massachusetts roaster in every box, from roasteries between the Berkshires and the Cape.
It works the other way too: a visitor who spent a week in Boston and stopped at George Howell's stall in the Boston Public Market, or a friend who summers near Chatham, where Three Fins has a cafe and Snowy Owl runs a seasonal espresso bar. The gift ships anywhere in the US.
Every bag is paid for, roasted and packed by a small business in a Massachusetts town. That is a gift twice: once to the person opening it, and once to the roaster who made it. Why that matters.
What arrives, and when
- You pick the start date, so the first box can land near a birthday or a holiday.
- You pick the roast and the grind. Not sure what they drink? Choose mix it up and each roaster sends what they are proudest of.
- One 12 oz bag per box, every 4 weeks, roasted to order by a different Massachusetts roaster.
- Each bag ships from the roastery in the roaster's own bag and packaging, with our packing slip: the roaster, their shop, their story and tasting notes.
- A gift note is optional. Write one at checkout if you like.
Choosing for someone else is the hard part. Light roasts taste of fruit and flowers. Medium roasts lean to chocolate and caramel, easy every day. Dark roasts are roasty and heavy, and stand up to milk. If they take their coffee with milk, medium or dark is the safe pick; if they drink it black and like it bright, go light. If you do not know, mix it up.
After the last box, the gift ends. Nobody is billed again.
