      I mean, Bolivia has a socialist President, so chances are the workers aren’t actually as exploited as they could be elsewhere.

    “This isn’t your latte-sipping liberal twig boy coffee. This is an anti WOKE blend grown and harvested in non-free trade prison plantations using pesticides banned by the Geneva convention and common human decency for that delicious taste of freedom. These beans are carefully grown by kidnapped indigenous children under gunpoint of the watchful eye of the revolutionary guerilla army deep in the jungles of Bolivia. Artisanal roasters working for just 20 cents a day create a flavor profile that’s more bitter than the pain of their existence. Try 1775 today and show those libs that you’re not just a piece of shit with poor taste, you’re a Trump-loving conservative. For a limited time for every bag you purchase, we’ll donate 25 cents to the Israeli Defense fund Bombs for Kids. Order now!”

      That is amazing and so well done! If you aren’t already some sort of writer, you should give it a go. I’d read your articles.

    Two things: First, coffee became an “American” beverage after the Boston Tea Party (though, iirc beer remained a significant breakfast beverage for awhile). Coffee houses were also places for patriotic discussions and where the revolutionary zeal was fostered. So you have some MAGA types wanting to tap into that.

    Second, dark roasting coffee is an old trick to cover the flavor of inconsistent and shitty coffee. Some people really like to taste the “roast.” But what’s happening is that a burnt flavor is masking the actual taste of a coffee bean. You want a light roast to actually taste the coffee.

    Also, if I’m not mistaken, it was the French who first came up with dark roasting coffee (likely for preservation reasons). I’m sure MAGA would love to know that their “dark, hard-hitting” coffee has its flavor profile originating in France.

      Dark roast is also less caffeinated than a light roast. The roasting reduces the caffeine content by about 20%.

      Its people being arrogant about drinking weaker, worst tasting coffee.

        I actually did not know that! A friend of mine used to own an independent roaster and kinda ruined me on coffee lol. Learned a lot from him, but somehow missed this tidbit. Makes sense.

    Woke-free and rich from the mountains of Bolivia

    You mean, you are rich from endorsing the harvesting of coffee from underpaid Bolivian farmers who work 16 hours a day?

    The idea of anti-woke coffee just makes me chuckle. What’s the inverse of biting the onion, because that’s what I did here.

    “hits harder than trumps tariffs” is a phrase I’m really getting sick of.

    My wife watches shorts all the time and I keep hearing people saying that in them.

        If this is serious i’d be okay if the simulation suddenly stopped right now. And i’m afraid you are serious. At this point it just stops making sense to me.

      The coffee is actually USDA Organic and they call it “ethically sourced” … which sounds incredibly woke and social-justicy. But I am sure they fully embrace the irony.

      And they have a handy table on the topic actually. One of the items is “supports FREE SPEECH”.
