.25 Days Project: Bella Rosa Coffee

Each year, when I head to my parents’ for the holidays, I like to arrive at their home in Southern California with a can or two of coffee beans straight out of Sonoma County. That’s the benefit if living in a foodie capital, and anyone who has family out of town should exploit this fact by bringing perishables to lucky relatives. Since my parents drink coffee like there’s no tomorrow, fresh-roasted beans make the perfect gift. Last year, it was a can of my favorite Taylor Maid Coffee, the delicious Goat Rock Blend. This year, I’m going to add a can of Bella Rosa Coffee to the mix, because they’ve got some darn tasty beans. Smooth, with low acidity, these are coffees for most any palate. The family-owned, Santa Rosa based company’s all organic and fair trade blends include Italian Espresso, Four Seasons, and my favorite, Roaster’s Reserve. You can find the custom-roasted beans at stores at Oliver’s Market, Community Market, Fircrest in Sebastopol, Share Exchange, Redwood Empire Farmer’s Market, or at the Bella Rosa Café, which opened in September 2013. The café sells canned and bulk coffees “at a steep discount off regular in-store prices” according the company’s website. Bella Rosa Café. 5491 Skylane Boulevard, Suite 140, Santa Rosa. 707.542.6220. www.bellarosacoffeecompany.com.
