Inspired by the recent NSA information-gathering scandal, Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company has decided to reveal its secrets to one of its own proprietary, perfect blend of beans. The E. Snowden Blend will be available in both St. Helena and Napa locations and as whole beans or ground. General Manager Doug Dunlap is leaking the Roasting Company’s secret blend breakdown. The following is classified information, formerly known only to Roasting Company employees. The blend consists of covertly obtained beans from Bali, Guatemala and Colombia.

RACHEL AMAYA PROMOTED TO NEW MANAGER IN ST. HELENA





 
 Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company announces that Rachel Amaya is being promoted to St. Helena Store Manager, after five years working at that location. “Rachel’s leadership and team building skills as well as her passion for coffee explain this well-deserved promotion,” Doug Dunlap, General Manager says. Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company has two locations: 1400 Oak Avenue at Adams Street in St. Helena (963-4491) and 948 Main Street in Napa (224-2233). 

 
 Born and raised in Napa Valley, Rachel graduated from St. Helena High School and is studying for her bachelor’s degree in Speech Pathology. “My pivotal coffee moment was when I realized the full potential of the Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company, and knew that I wanted to be a part of its growth and success. I take pride in my skills as a barista and truly enjoy serving our variety of customers,” Rachel explains.

 

In my years at the Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company I have noticed that excellent coffee and a smiling face to serve it can really make someone's day. It’s something so small and simple, however you never know how much a little bit of kindness and great coffee can brighten someone’s day or keep it positive.

 

“We are a distinctive group here at the Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company,” Rachel continues. “We offer small batch, boutique coffee in an area full of vineyards! Our staff are all knowledgeable and still fun-loving and we like to keep our customers in the loop by roasting during business hours and having our roastmaster available for questions and insight. It is important to us to be connected to our customers. This is a family run operation and we take pride in our local history,” she adds.

NEW GIFT BLEND


Ready to ‘gift’ for any occasion


Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company offers a new coffee---labeled and ready for any gift occasion. “Customers are often asking us to ‘special-label’ a bag of coffee so they can use it as a gift,” explains General Manager Doug Dunlap. That option is now available, at the two Roasting Company locations: a freshly roasted bag of either whole beans or ground coffee, decorated with the Roasting Company’s signature black and cream ribbon and one’s choice of occasions---birthday, encouragement, new baby, anniversary, welcome home, thank you, get well soon, good luck, wedding, house-warming, congratulations, just-because, so sorry or thinking-of-you.

 

“Coffee makes such a great gift,” Dunlap explains, “since it is longer lasting than flowers or chocolate.” He adds  “Let’s be honest, even if someone doesn’t love coffee, who doesn’t love the smell of coffee?”

 

This offering is a medium bodied blend, with sweet, rich, and chocolaty flavors to satisfy a wide range of tastes and expectations.
