Goodbye to Fresh Roast

Hi First Ascent Friends, Fans, and Family,

I am writing to you from Crested Butte with the first hints of snow dusting the peaks this morning and the leaves beginning to turn across the valley. It is with sadness that I am writing to you to let you know that we are ceasing roasting operations to focus on our instant coffee business. Jackson will do a final roast on Monday September 23 for roasted coffee orders and subscriptions (unless we run out of coffee sooner!) The roasted coffee page will sadly go dark on the evening of Saturday September 21st, at which point no more orders will be received.  From those of you who bought coffee from us once, to those of you we sent coffee to weekly, we cannot thank you enough for your support. 

We will continue shipping Hero Day instant coffee as we wait on the Dawn Patrol and Ethiopia instant coffee to arrive. The coffee has been made and is in packets, we are just waiting on the cartons to be packed and delivered. 

If you are looking for suggestions on where to buy coffee now, I’ve included links to a few of my favorite roasters below, though certainly not an exhaustive list -

Modcup Coffee https://www.modcup.com/collections

We will miss being part of how you start your day. Keep drinking coffee in cool places won’t ya?

Sincerely, Sam and the rest of the team here at First Ascent
