Cowboy Coffee
This coffee is Fair Trade Organic Arabica coffee bean from South America. We roast this coffee super dark, to perfection. The coffee is a full bodied espresso that is complex and strong but low in acid with a superior aroma to go along with the rich creme. Despite being roasted super dark this coffee does not give you the burnt or metal taste associated with other dark coffees.
Cowboy Coffee is one of our all time favorites. This coffee was created for our customers that kept saying, Can you roast it a little darker? The name and story of how the "Cowboy Coffee" was created does not reflect the superb flavor.
For those that know us, you know we love to hunt and fish. Both are not sports for my family but a way of life. The name "Cowboy Coffee" was created by myself when Elk hunting in Montana freezing to death. The temperature was -17 degrees and the mountains were deep in snow. I had enough clothes on the look like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. My guide had jeans, shirt and coat. We stopped for lunch, he built a fire and then pulled out a tin can that looked like an old coffee can, he filled the can with snow and put it on the fire. Once the fire melted the snow the water began to steam and bubble from the heat of the fire. Then he pulled out of his back pack a small container of coffee and just dumped the grounds in the water.
As I watched the grounds swirl around in that tin can, I thought to myself this is going to taste absolutely awful. However, at this point my freezing body was craving anything warm to drink. Once the coffee boiled for a moment, he set the can of hot liquid coffee on the snow and then proceeded to take a handful of snow and dropped it on top of the brew. This action caused the coffee grinds to sink to the bottom of the can and Walla "Cowboy Coffee" ENJOY!
