And all through the shop
Not a bag of coffee remained Not even a drop. Customers cleared shelves And grabbed every bag To keep stockings stuffed Or to wrap up and tag The owners were frantic The roaster ran amok Baristas did their best To keep pushing their luck Their hands moved like lightning As orders piled high But stock was running low Cups would soon be bone dry The roaster donned is jacket And wool knitted cap And bid them farewell Into the cold winter snap He trundled to Newark In his old Chevy beater To fire up the engine Of his shiny bean-heater He roasted and roasted All through the night Green beans turned brown Under lightbulb sunlight And at dawn's first rays The shop was lit up With shelves fully stocked And overflowing cup The workers were tired And lacking caffeine But their mission was finished For the love of the bean The store was soon flooded With plenty of shoppers Happy to witness Fresh coffee in hoppers Each one was serviced With a greeting and smile Plenty was to be shared In true holiday style The weary roaster retired To the comforts of his bed So dreams of cortados could dance in his head But before his eyes closed He murmered a call That echoed his room And all down the hall A voice came to the shoppers And made them look up "Merry Christmas to all And to all a hot cup!" Happy Holidays to all of our fantastic, amazing customers that have made our dreams come true! Everything we do, we do for you, and it is so worth it when hear your prais and when we see coffee flying of the shelves (even if that means I need to go roast a few emergency batches late at night)! All of Boxwood wishes you a great holiday season and hopes that you spend time with family and loved ones and to keep on being merry. We'll see you all net year!

It's stupid cold out if you haven't noticed, but we're staying nice and cozy warm inside the shop! Peppermint mochas, hot chocolates and Sweater Weather pour overs will help you forget the blistering weather that awaits your frantic commute back to your car, so you might as well stay in the cafe for just a few more minutes.
We're too excited to let the cold bother us right now though, we've got new projects to work on and cool things to do! I've talked a lot about our plans for expansion and growth, and we've been busy making those rad things happen. This week Ruby the Roaster and I found a new big fancy workspace to pump out hundreds of pounds of incredible coffee! This is a cool thing, because we previously were operating out of a much smaller facility that was little more than a fancy garage. In the new operating location, a warehouse in Newark, we will have increased space and resources to offer more services on the storefront end of business. Plans to upgrade equipment, streamline cold brewing and distribution are all that much closer to becoming realities, and the added benefit of better environment control means I will be able to fine-tune my roasts to an even higher quality! Espresso will be the next big mountain to climb, but be on the lookout for a few new roasts in the coming weeks. With the approaching frigid holidays, be sure to stay safe and warm in the shop or in your home. If you're still looking for a few gift ideas we might be able to help! A coffee subscription is a great way to enable someone to get a steady supply of craft coffee delivered right to their door, and the store is bursting at the seams with loads of retail products including new glass and cork Keep Cups with our logo on it! They also come in an array of swanky color combos, so be sure to stop by the shop and chek them out! Stay warm, and Happy Holidays! |
