MAD & BLESSED: THE 2024 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

Blessed are they who receive heavenly Mad Priest coffee for the holidays. Mad are they who drink too many cups of it in one day.

Not sure what to get the loved one, friend, or enemy in your life? We've broken it down into 10 great options! 

2. For your Pentecostal friend - Dark Night of the Soul Dark Roast coffee

Because they've got lots of long, dark nights of the soul. (And they probably don't know who St. John of the Cross actually is.) Dark nights be gone! 

3. For your "wear your faith on your sleeve" friend - Stickers! 

Put a sticker on it and call it blessed. Live life out loud. Let the world know...Mad Priest has the best coffee. And we like to have some fun while we're doing it. 

4. For your Unitarian friend - Coffee from China! 

Because they love nuance and and hope and potential and creativity. Coffee from China? Yes, it’s a thing. (French settlers brought coffee to Yunnan province in the late 19th century, but the production was very limited for the better part of a century. In 1988 when the Chinese Government initiated a project to boost the coffee industry, the production soared – and now China is considered to be a promising specialty coffee market!) 

5. For your Baptist friend - Sloth Dispelling Breakfast Blend coffee

Because for all their good intentions, sloth can still be found in their midst. And sloth is one of the deadly sins apparently, so let's go ahead and help them dispel that one. 

6. For your sinner friend - Where Sinners Sip tee 

Because all of us sinners may fall short, but we still deserve good coffee. This, dear friends, is where sinners sip. 

7. For your Catholic friend - Matriarch Espresso Blend coffee 

Because, well, they like Mary. She's pretty cool. And they've kinda got a patriarchy with the Pope and all, so let's sprinkle in a little girl-power. Here's to strong women! 

9. For your Millennial Megachurch friend - Forbidden Fruit / Ethiopian coffee

Because they are just struggling with that #adulting life, and the holidays will be full of family drama and therapy appointments. And we just want them to experience a little bit of joy (aka the forbidden fruit) amidst all the crazy. 

10. For your Atheist friend - Haiti / Zombie Desert coffee

Because they care about history and culture and geography and capitalism and...well, maybe not all that. But this coffee has quite the story behind it, and they'll probably appreciate it.

In 1804, Haiti, the world’s first Black republic and only country born of a successful slave revolution, won its independence from France. But until the revolution began in 1791, Haiti actually produced 50% of the world’s coffee through the extreme exploitation and systematic violence of slavery. Simply put, we can’t fully appreciate the history of coffee without an appreciation and understanding of coffee’s origins in Haiti.

BONUS! For your saint friend - A single origin subscription

Ok so you really do have a saint in your life. They are devoted, passionate, loyal, persevering, all the things. You want to really give them something special. This is it!
