S.W. Vashon Island, WA 98070 (800) 962-9659 (206) 463-3932 Email: MarieG@halcyon.com Seattle's Best Coffee has been roasting coffee for over twenty-five years. SBC was originally started as The Wet Whisker in 1967 by Jim Stewart. His goal then, and now, was to serve the "perfect cup" of coffee. Over the years, we've changed our name to Stewart Brothers Coffee and finally to Seattle's Best Coffee after winning an award entitled with the same name. The one consistent factor throughout the years has been that Jim Stewart has continued to search for the world's best coffees. He continues to travel extensively cupping and buying Seattle's Best Coffee. In Jim's pursuit of the "perfect cup", he brought aboard Master Roaster Peter Larsen from Germany who roasts the coffee in SBC's distinctive Northern European style. Jim prefers this method as it allows the individual coffees to release their own flavor characteristics. SBC further insures that a "perfect cup" is provided by offering a full line of organically grown coffees from around the world. If you would like to join us in the search for the perfect cup please call us at 1-800-243-5206 or send me a message and I will see that any of your questions are answered by the experts at SBC. ============================== Second Cup, The 43 Birmingham Ct.
