My buddy Justin Kagan (aka Badbeard) is one of the top roasters of micro-batch coffee in the Northwest (and a kick-ass cellist, and all-around awesome dude), and he has come out with three excellent coffees that will send $4 of the purchase price of each pound of coffee to the Oregon Chapter<\/a> of the Scleroderma Foundation<\/a>. June is Scleroderma Awareness Month<\/a>, and this is an excellent way to help fund research into finding a cure for this chronic disease of the connective tissue.<\/p>\n The coffees are Bella Voce<\/a> (breakfast blend), Mezza Voce<\/a> (decaf blend), and Prima Voce<\/a>\u00a0(espresso blend). If you have not tried Justin’s exquisite coffee offerings before, this is an ideal time to try them out for yourself and help a worthy cause at the same time!<\/p>\n My buddy Justin Kagan (aka Badbeard) is one of the top roasters of micro-batch coffee in the Northwest (and a kick-ass cellist, and all-around awesome dude), and he has come out with three excellent coffees that will send $4 of the purchase price of each pound of coffee to the Oregon Chapter of the Scleroderma […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":303,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[140,103],"tags":[2540,3372,1375,3374,3375,3373],"class_list":["post-12684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-coffee-food-drink","category-fundraising","tag-2540","tag-badbeard-coffee","tag-fundraiser","tag-oregon-chapter","tag-scleroderma-awareness-month","tag-scleroderma-foundation"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pa8kC-3iA","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3730,"url":"https:\/\/www.nobleviola.com\/wordpress\/2010\/01\/05\/badbeard-hits-the-big-time\/","url_meta":{"origin":12684,"position":0},"title":"badbeard hits the big time","author":"Charles Noble","date":"January 5, 2010","format":false,"excerpt":"Justin \"Badbeard\" Kagan, the Portland cellist ne\u00e9 coffee roaster and foodie extraordinaire, has been featured in today's Oregonian courtesy of the O's classical music critic David Stabler.\u00a0 It's a nice write up, and you can find it here.\u00a0 Justin does a great job of explaining his coffee ethos, and that\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "cello"","block_context":{"text":"cello","link":"https:\/\/www.nobleviola.com\/wordpress\/category\/music\/instruments\/cello\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":3403,"url":"https:\/\/www.nobleviola.com\/wordpress\/2009\/11\/24\/todays-latte-art-badbeards-coffee\/","url_meta":{"origin":12684,"position":1},"title":"today’s latte art + badbeard’s coffee","author":"Charles Noble","date":"November 24, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"Not my best work, but it was worth a shot (get it?).
