Volume one Edition two

Hello to all and welcome to the second Has Bean newsletter, and they said we would never last! Has bean loves your comments so please email me at newsletter@hasbean.co.uk

1. New additions A new addition to the Has Bean range.

Papua New Guinea Sigri A seriously unusual bean that is as good tasting as any other coffee out there. The key to Papua New Guanine coffee is there quality testing. Its simple, if its not good enough it doesn't make it of the island. Like has bean they care about there coffee well worth a try Stocks of this are limited so try now as it wont be around for long. Coming soon loads of nice interesting beans for Christmas (I'm exited are you?)

2. Stocks running low

The Jamaican Blue Mountain I was so pleased to have in the last edition is running out. I have both the peaberry and the grade a beans but in short supply. Our man in the mountains (literally in the mountains) is sending us some more accompanied by a blue mountain organic! Watch this space.

The Sumatra DP is low at the moment so beware order now or be disappointed! You have been warned our Ugandan Robusta stock is low at the moment and may be replaced with a better Robusta we will keep you informed on this

3. The Staffordshire Green awards and The JCB Business of the year (Business against adversity)

Its been a busy month for myself and Sarah there have been awards ceremonies everywhere. Firstly we picked up the Prestigious Staffordshire Green award for sustainable tourism. The competition was really tough with some of the big boys in the category. But little old Has Bean came first, of which we are really proud. Next time your on the site take a look at the fair trade coffee picture, and see our fine awards. The JCB award was also against tough competition. For those of you who know both me and Sarah, You'll know what a tough year we have had. For those of you who don't we did have a break in the shop and Sarah was attacked (as well as her poor health at times). But now things are on the Up and it was nice of the prince's trust and JCB to think of us for this award and the glass goblet has pride of place on our mantle piece.
