Gregory Perk Light Roast
$14.40 14 oz Organic and Fair Trade
With his slender features it seemed fitting to use an upside down coffee pot to represent Mr Peck.
This roast uses Central and South American beans for an end result that offers smooth mellow brightness with hints of dark chocolate, caramel, berries and a touch of citrus.
Smooth, mellow and bright bring few actors to mind save Gregory Peck. Nominated for best actor five times, winning it for his role as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mocking Bird. Peck's first film, Days of Glory, was released in 1944. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor five times, four of which came in his first five years of film acting: for The Keys of the Kingdom (1944), The Yearling (1946), Gentleman's Agreement (1947), and Twelve O'Clock High (1949).
The Keys of the Kingdom emphasized his stately presence. As the farmer Penny Barker in The Yearling his good-humored warmth and affection toward the characters playing his son and wife confounded critics who had been insisting he was a lifeless performer. Duel in the Sun (1946) showed his range as an actor in his first "against type" role as a cruel, libidinous gunslinger. Gentleman's Agreement established his power in the "social conscience" genre in a film that took on the deep-seated but subtle anti-Semitism of mid-century corporate America.Twelve O'Clock High was the first of many successful war films in which Peck embodied the brave, effective, yet human fighting man.
Among his other films were Spellbound (1945), The Paradine Case (1947), The Gunfighter (1950), Moby Dick (1956), On the Beach (1959), which brought to life the terrors of global nuclear war, The Guns of Navarone (1961), and Roman Holiday (1953), with Audrey Hepburn in her Oscar-winning role. Peck and Hepburn were close friends until her death; Peck even introduced her to her first husband, Mel Ferrer. Peck once again teamed up with director William Wyler in the epic Western The Big Country (1958), which he co-produced.
Peck won the Academy award with his fifth nomination, playing Atticus Finch, a Depression-era lawyer and widowed father, in a film adaptation of the Harper Lee novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Released in 1962 during the height of the US civil rights movement in the South, this movie and his role were Peck's favorites. In 2003, Atticus Finch was named the top film hero of the past 100 years by the American Film Institute.

Gentlemen Prefer Beans Medium Roast
$14.95 14oz
Java is famous for its smooth body yet has a remarkable brightness which balances the cup. You will notice the deep feel, with just a hint earthiness in the cup, and a striking bittersweet chocolate finish. At a medium dark roast it is very compelling. Estate grown Java coffees are unmatched for aromatic spiciness and rich, smooth, and full-bodied character.
Smooth body, yet bright and dark, spicey and full bodied. Has to be Marylin Monroe and Jane Russell. The, Genetlemen Prefer Blonds, is filled with comedic gags and musical numbers. While Russell's down-to-earth, sharp wit has been noted by most critics, it is Monroe's turn as the gold-digging Lorelei Lee for which the film is often remembered. Monroe's rendition of the song "Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend" is considered an iconic performance that has been copied by the likes of Madonna, Nicole Kidman and Anna Nicole Smith.

Breakfast Blend at Tiffany's Medium Roast
$14.85 14oz Organic and Fair Trade
A Central American bean, this coffee is ideal for breakfast and those who favor medium body, mildly bright, well balanced coffee any time of day. Look for hints of citrus, bittersweet dark chocolate, and sweet pecans.
Bright, yet bittersweet much like Holly Golightly. Audrey Hepburn's portrayal of Golightly as the naive, eccentric rich man's escort is generally considered to be the actress's most memorable and identifiable role. She herself regarded it as one of her most challenging roles, since she was an introvert required to play an extrovert. Hepburn's performance of "Moon River" helped composer Henry Mancini and lyricist Johnny Mercer win an Oscar for Best Song.

Ray Folger Medium Roast
$14.40 14oz Organic and Fair Trade
Rich, mellow, medium body and sweet.
Ray Bolger's film career began when he signed a contract with MGM in 1936 and is best know for his role as the Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz. Bolger's studio contract stipulated that he would play any part the studio chose; however, he was unhappy when he was cast as the Tin Man. The Scarecrow part had already been assigned to another lean and limber dancing studio contract player, Buddy Ebsen. In time, the roles were switched. While Bolger was pleased with his role as the Scarecrow, Ebsen was struck ill by the powdered aluminum make-up used to complete the Tin Man costume. The powdered aluminum badly coated Ebsen's lungs, leaving him near death. Ebsen's illness paved the way for the Tin Man role to be filled by Jack Haley. Ironically, Ebsen would outlive all the principal players of Oz. When Ray Bolger died an editorial cartoon on January 17, 1987, two days after his death, by Chicago Tribune artist Dick Locher, depicted the Oz cast dancing off into the setting sun and toward the Emerald City, with the Scarecrow running to catch up.

Bean Crosby Medium Dark
$14.15 14oz
A fantastic, rich,smooth, full bodied, low acid blend. A combination of a Central American, South American and a select Indonesian bean create a truly unique, high impact cup.
Beans near Bali and Rio seems to have all the makings of a “Road To” movie. Bing Crosby stared in nine of them with another actor whose name will Bob up I Hope. In 1910, Crosby was forever renamed. The six-year-old Harry Lillis discovered a full-page feature in the Sunday edition of the Spokesman-Review, "The Bingville Bugle." The "Bugle," written by humorist Newton Newkirk, was a parody of a hillbilly newsletter complete with gossipy tidbits, minstrel quips, creative spelling, and mock ads. A neighbor, 15-year-old Valentine Hobart, shared Crosby's enthusiasm for "The Bugle," and noting Crosby's laugh, took a liking to him and called him "Bingo from Bingville." The last vowel was dropped and the name shortened to "Bing," which stuck.

Katarine Hepbean Award Winner Medium Dark
$14.90 14oz Organic and Fair Trade
Yes, it's like getting an Oscar only for coffee! This blend was rated 90, one of the highest ratings ever recorded for a 100% organic espresso. An organic African bean and diverse organic South American beans create this complex, knock your socks off espresso. The rich, thick, crema is second to none. The body is medium to full, the finish simple and rich. Rich, powerful presence, vivacity and complex.
Rich, powerful presence, vivacity and complex with a slight astringent edge. Has to be Katherine Hepburn. She holds the record for the most Best Actress Oscar wins with four, from 12 nominations. Hepburn won an Emmy Award in 1976 for her lead role in Love Among the Ruins, and was nominated for four other Emmys, two Tony Awards and eight Golden Globes. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Hepburn as the greatest female star in the history of American cinema. At one time considered “Box Office Poison” some of what has made Hepburn greatly beloved today—her unconventional, straightforward, anti-Hollywood attitude—at the time began to turn audiences sour. Outspoken and intellectual with an acerbic tongue, she defied the era's conventions, preferring to wear pantsuits and disdaining makeup. She also had a famously difficult relationship with the press, turning down most interviews, which did not help her exposure to the public. On her first outing with the Hollywood press corps after the success of A Bill of Divorcement, Hepburn talked with reporters who had invaded her and her husband's cabin aboard the ship City of Paris. A reporter asked if they were really married; Hepburn responded, "I don't remember". Following up, another reporter asked if they had any children; Hepburn's answer: "Two white and three colored". One of Hepburn's best performances was her role as Rose Sayer in The African Queen (1951), where she played a prim spinster missionary in Africa (around the time of World War I), who convinces Humphrey Bogart's character, a hard-drinking riverboat captain, to use his boat to destroy a German ship.

A Shot in the Dark Espresso Very Dark Roast
$14.65 14oz Organic and Fair Trade
Deep smoky aroma with hints of low acid fruit and dark chocolate. Medium body, slightly syrupy mouth feel. A very dark roasted espresso that preserves sweetness, body and complexity.
A Shot in the Dark is a 1964 comedy directed by Blake Edwards and is the second installment in the Pink Panther series. Peter Sellers is featured again as Inspector Jacqes Clouseau. His bumbling personality is unchanged, but it was only in this film that Sellers began to give him the idiosyncratically exaggerated French accent that was to become a hallmark of the character. Interesting note. The relationship between Edwards and Sellers deteriorated to such a point that at the conclusion of the film they vowed never to work together again. They eventually reconciled to collaborate successfully later on three more "Pink Panther" films in the 1970s.
