Original Christmas

Santa’s Favorite Holiday Brew

Way back before Santa became the jolly North Pole resident we all know, he was actually an Ethiopian reindeer herder! And let me tell you, he had quite the eye for a great cup of coffee. This holiday season, Santa returned to Ethiopia for a naturally bold, delicious bean—because nothing says "Merry Christmas" like a cup of holiday magic. With rich notes of sweet cranberry, chocolate and a burst of sugar plum, this brew is like sipping Christmas in a cup. So cozy up, enjoy, and let the warmth of the season fill your heart! 

The Story of the First Christmas

Once upon a time, long before the North Pole and the elves, Santa—known back then as St. Nicholas—was just your average Ethiopian reindeer herder. But, one magical day, as his reindeer happily nibbled on the local vegetation, something extraordinary happened. The reindeer began bouncing around with so much energy that they, well, started to fly!

Curious and a little excited, Santa followed their high-flying antics and discovered the secret: a mysterious tree filled with bright red cherries. The reindeer loved these cherries, especially one named Rudolph, who ate so many that his nose turned a brilliant red! Santa, of course, had to give these cherries a try with his dear reindeer. The taste? Amazing. The result? Sleepless nights! But instead of tossing and turning, Santa had an idea—why not share this amazing discovery with the world?

So, that’s exactly what he did. Santa hitched up his now-flying reindeer and set off to bring this incredible gift—coffee—to all the villages he could find. And for the children? Well, he couldn’t leave them out! Santa decided to leave little presents along with the coffee, spreading joy and cheer far and wide. Thus, the first Christmas was born, along with the very first batch of Original Christmas Coffee.

So, next time you sip on your holiday brew, just remember: you’re part of a long, magical tradition that began with flying reindeer, bright red cherries, and a little extra Christmas cheer!

Original Christmas is a single origin coffee sourced from Ethiopia, available exclusively during the holiday season.
