Do you know the secret to creating delicious small batch roasted, specialty coffee? Our pack mule Richard does. Back in 2015, Richard was broken down, laid off, and put out to pasture; but he had dreams of something grander. He wanted to bring people together in the great outdoors to encourage a bit of community and active adventuring. He knew it would help to attract them with a cup of great coffee. Lacking opposable thumbs and knowledge of thermodynamics, Richard got some human help to master his roasting craft and started a wildly popular trailside coffee service in the majestic Idaho mountains. There aren't enough Richards to accompany everyone's sunrise on every trail, but he is willing to share his coffee with you, here. We hope you like it. We sure do! Recommended Pairings: Good people & beautiful scenery. Approachable people, approachable coffee, one slightly stubborn mule. We are trail runners, backcountry skiers, mountain bikers, kayakers, hikers... and one pack mule named, Richard. Outdoor adventuring helps define who we are, and our time gazing upon beautiful scenery and breathing fresh air always restores our souls. Sharing these experiences is important to us, so we donate a portion of proceeds from each bag to maintain trails and open spaces in the communities where our coffees are sold. In drinking our coffee, you benefit twice: once in your cup and once on your trails. cafemule.com. Instagram: @richardthemule.
