Buy Coffee from Our Local Roasters … Support Our Local Economy!!!!

By Sri Koduri

For years, many of us went regularly to local coffee shops and to get our cup of coffee in Birmingham, until the early 2000 when coffee chains stepped into the scene. They had the glitz and glamour that attracted most of us to frequent them, sometimes forgetting our local coffee shops. But, the local flavor, personalized approach, loyalty, coziness, and the community-feel has drawn us back, and now there’s a widespread return to our own local coffee houses.

A couple of things to consider …

Your local coffee shops have been brewing and serving the brighter flavor profile coffees (that major coffee chains are now promoting) all along.

When you buy a cup of coffee or a bag of beans from local coffee shop, you are supporting the jobs that are local and putting money back into local economy.

It improves community feeling and creates better environment for future local entrepreneurs.

These are good enough reasons for me to think as an informed customer to make intelligent choices to buy coffee from local roasters that support the local economy!!!!

Coffee News …

A couple of weeks ago, El Salvador was hit by historic floods, and almost all coffee farms have been impacted by them. Let’s show our care and support to the farmers and their families who depend on coffee beans by buying a bag of El Salvador. This is another way we can impact small economies in big ways by buying coffee!!!!

In Conclusion ...

We at Church Street Coffee & Books serve and sell coffee roasted at Primavera Coffee, a local roaster in Cahaba Heights. Most of Primavera’s Coffee selections are lightly roasted (Guatemala, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, Colombian, and, of course, El Salvador), although they do offer stronger coffees like Sumatra and French Roast.

Stop by today and buy a bag of these exquisite coffees and be proud of shopping local.

Until next time … Cheers!!!!
