7 Bridges T-Shirts Are Back!

***SHIPPING JULY 17***Show your enthusiasm for organic homebrew with our new organic cotton logo T-shirts. Available in Natural, unbleached white, and soft black.

These shirts are printed with advanced environmentally friendly dyes. The advantage to this process is the image becomes part of the fabric instead of a solid layer of plastic ink that floats on the surface and becomes faded and cracked after repeated washings. Our shirts will not become faded and cracked, and the manufacture of these shirts is done in an environmentally safe sweatshop free process right here in the USA. The fabric is so incredibly soft that we expect it will become one of your favorite shirts.

The shirts run small, and they are pre-shrunk. Order a size larger than you usually buy pre-shrunk T-shirts, and the fit should be just right.

Men's: Natural White: S- XL $18 XXL $19

Men's: Soft Black: S- XL $19 XXL $20

Ladies: Natural White: S- XL $19

New Organic Coffees

NEW! Brazil Poco Fundo (Fair Trade)

Certified organic and Fair Trade. We are pleased to offer this wonderful Brazilian coffee from Poco Fundo Cooperative near Rio De Janeiro. This is a rich, vibrant coffee anchored with a deep full bodied earthy flavor and lots of fruity high notes. A bit wild in character, reminiscent of an Ethiopia Harrar or Sidamo. If you like the Ethiopia Coffees, definitely give this one a try! Poco Fundo is a cooperative of small scale farmers (founded in 1991) located in the state of Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil. By forming a coop the farmers have been able to improve the quality of the coffee through education and training, as well as improving their own quality of life by consolidating resources and improved incomes. The coffee trees are of the Caturra and Mundo novo varieties. All the coffee is hand picked and dry processed. Roast this one to Full City or French to get a rich chocolate character which could be lost with darker roasts.
