521 Coffee is online and ready to go!

After months of prayer and preparation 521 Coffee is officially open for online business!  Below I've pasted from the website what 521 Coffee is all about.  I hope you'll visit the site and if you like really good coffee then you have come to the right place.

521 Coffee was created with a twofold goal in mind: Roast really great coffee that brings glory to God. It all started on a quiet New Year’s Eve 2005 in a village in northern Sudan just below Egypt. As I sat fellowshipping in the home of a local Sudanese man, I watched with piqued interest as another gentleman roasted coffee beans on a metal plate and then ground them with a Coke bottle. What resulted was the freshest and most flavorful coffee I had ever tasted.

Upon my return home I knew that I had to learn to roast my own coffee beans. Not long after that a vision for a coffee roasting business grew in my heart, a business that would not only produce fresh roasted coffee but would also be used as an avenue to help the less fortunate in our world. Five Sided Coffee Co. was the result of that initial endeavor and now it has taken the form of 521 Coffee. Indeed, we are coffee with a mission.

521 Coffee gains its name from 2 Corinthians 5:21, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” This is a verse of hope, one that spells out not only how desperately God loves us but also how He desires to save us through His Son Jesus Christ. It is this hope that has changed my life and it is this hope that pushes 521 to see “the least of these” cared for physically and spiritually.

When you try coffee from 521 Coffee you can be assured that you are tasting coffee that has been fresh roasted and not sitting on some shelf for months at a time.  You can also enjoy the satisfaction that with every cup you drink there is a village in Uganda or another humanitarian need in our world that is benefiting from the purchase you have made, all in the name of Jesus.

521 Coffee specializes in coffees from Africa, the richest and earthiest coffee beans grown on earth. The very regions from which this coffee is grown is also the region to which proceeds from 521 Coffee will be given.
