The Economy May be Bad, But You Don't Have to Drink Bad Coffee
Posted by MJ on 11/13/2022 to
The economy is not as strong as it was a few years ago.
Inflation is quickly depleting people’s savings. If you are a coffee aficionado,
it may be difficult to afford quality coffee. If you find yourself in a
position of paying rent or buying decent coffee, you may need some help.

CoVid19 Event Changes and Policies
Posted by H Jennings on 3/17/2020 to
Coffee events are cancelled for now. The economic impact is going to be severe, and we are hoping you all understand the position we are in. We are hoping you continue to purchase the coffee, and tell your friends about us.
I wish there was an easier way to make the announcement. We are also changing our policies to reflect the following:
1. As of March 15, 2020 all guests must call ahead to have clearance for facility entrance. No exceptions. If you are coughing, or have flu symptoms, we can't take the risk, you will be asked to reschedule.
2. We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone. Where we roast is PRIVATE PROPERTY. There are gates, and dogs. You need to make sure we know you are coming.
3. We are temporarily suspending coffee pick-up at the roasting facility. Please send us a text if you would like to pick your order up at a local stop, or have it dropped off during our regularly scheduled deliveries to the Gold Beach/Crescent City/Brookings area. This won't last forever. As soon as things are "back to 'normal'" I will post again.
4. The facility is regularly deep cleaned. We have internal cleaning audits and scheduled to ensure 100% customer safety and product satisfaction.
Thank you so much. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Did you see the NEW Events Tab?
Posted by H.Jennings on 1/30/2020 to
Those residing and visiting the South Oregon Coast (Port Orford, Gold Beach, Brookings) may be interested to see we have a new section just for you! It is called the "Events" tab. It features all of our upcoming events and activities.These events range from coffee tastings in stores to paid/ticketed events.
To kick things off in 2020, we will have a FREE product demonstration at the McKay's Market on Ellensburg Ave, in Gold Beach, Oregon 97444. The event happens on Friday, March 6, 2020. A second FREE tasting will be announced soon at the Medford, OR Natural Grocer. We are shooting for the third week of March.
Then in May, we will have a Mother's Day Event. Food will be featured from various local sources. The cost is $25.00 per ticket. It takes place on May 9th, 2020 at 10 am.
May 4, 2020 Nectar of Life will do a tasting and tour of the facility. The cost to attend is $2.50 per ticket. There is a limited number of tickets available. This event also starts at 10 am.

As more events come up, we will announce here and on Facebook/Instagram. Make sure you are following us so you don't miss a thing!
Natural Grocer Medford Oregon
Posted by H.Jennings on 1/14/2020 to
The clouds seemed to break for a moment and sunlight swept on the
Natural Grocer sign in Medford, OR that early December day when the
first delivery of Nectar of Life Coffee was brought in. The store
features some of our best sellers: Ultimate Espresso, Morning Dew, Happy
Place, and Colombia. Most blends are available in both whole bean and
drip grind.
Natural Grocer is a chain of Natural/Organic grocery stores that sells everything from vitamins (they used to be under the name Vitamin Cottage until they expanded the market about 10 years ago) to fresh, seasonal vegetables and fruit. You will find local products from small scale farms, dairy items, and personal care products. The staff is friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable.
Natural Grocers makes a point to feature companies like ours that are women owned, and locally produced. For that reason, we would love for you ALL to stop in and see what they offer. You will be pleasantly surprised by the quality and prices.
With the product on the
shelves, now it is time to sell it all! We are currently looking to
bring on one person to help us with product demonstrations. The pay is
$50.00 for a three hour demo. We would prefer someone that LOVES coffee,
but it is not required.
Last Minute Coffee Gift Ideas

Author Note: I link to Amazon through my affiliate program. The commission I get helps keep this whole operation moving and food on the table. I appreciate every click. Your business means SO MUCH to us!
Christmas is less than two weeks away. The New Year is less than three weeks away. As I type that, it seemed a bit impossible. Wasn't it just the 4th of July?
I know some of you probably procrastinated on shopping for a few folks on your list because they are notoriously hard-to-buy for. Procrastinate no further! I have a list of things every beverage drinker on your list will LOVE!
HOLIDAY ORDER DEADLINES 2019
Posted by H.Jennings on 12/10/2019 to
Every.
Single.
Year.
We get the customer (or two) that are crabby because they "placed their order THAT WAS A GIFT" on/after December 21st. They expected it to arrive by Christmas because... duh... It's CHRISTMAS.
But here is the thing...
Christmas comes every single year on December 25th. I can't do anything about when packages arrive. I put in conservative deadlines so folks will understand and can make informed decisions about placing orders.
I want your business. Don't get me wrong.
But I also don't want to be blamed for orders being delayed.
On top of an actual avalanche of packages in your mail/UPS/FedEx carriers truck, there are other things to consider. We don't stock roasted coffee. We never have. Every order is fresh roasted... It is kinda our thing. We have to process and roast your coffee. The next day, the packages are picked up.
For the record, here are the deadlines for 2019. On this note, please don't send me nasty-grams complaining about your order being delayed. You have been notified ;).
GROUND/FREE SHIPPING ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY DECEMBER 16, 2019. After that, if you select "free shipping" we suggest printing a photo of the item you ordered and putting it in a box for the recipient. Let them know they will get the order after the New Year. Anticipation builds character.
ALL ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY DECEMBER 18TH. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you want your order to arrive on-time, for the love of Christmas, SELECT and pay for Priority/expedited.
We are closing for a two week vacation (we are a Mom & Pop business- we don't have employees to come in for us) December 20th- January 2nd. We are not processing orders during that time. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
Gluten Free Coffee Cupcake Recipe
Posted by H.Jennings on 9/16/2019 to
The weather on the Oregon Coast has decided to flip into fall. More
like nose-dive, but at any rate, we went from open windows last week to
testing the heater this week. It makes me want to use the oven again.
As
usual, I can't just "make a recipe." I have to "Nectar-ify" it. This
means it will be Gluten Free, Organic, and Fair Trade with everything
possible. It also means it has to taste good. I'm not going to waste
calories on gross food.
Bullet Proof Coffee Recipe
Posted by H.Jennings on 9/11/2019 to
If coffee is the only thing you grab before you head to work in the morning, give this recipe a go. Bonus: you can make ahead! It has protein, good fats, and electrolytes! I store mine in Kombucha jars that have been thoroughly washed. Keruig options are listed below.
Five Ways to own Back-To-School
Posted by H.Jennings on 8/26/2019 to
Every year starts out with so many expectations, and it can be very
overwhelming. Who has time to make a cute chalk board sign for each kid?
Adorable cookie cutter sandwiches? That will last two months... tops.
So what can you do to help make the transition from bathing suits to
backpacks easier? Here are a few (very simple) tips to keep the momentum
up from beginning to end of year. (Hint: One of them involves coffee).
Can You Grow Coffee in the Lower 48 States
Posted by H.Jennings on 3/22/2019 to
Without fail, every coffee demo I have done, I am asked if we “grow the beans.” It’s a reasonable question because coffee is just something you expect to be able to grow. However, coffee is a remarkable crop with a complex and misunderstood growing environment.
In general, coffee is grown between the Tropic of Cancer, and the Tropic of Capricorn. These regions are rich with volcanic soil, consistent sunlight exposure, and consistent moisture. There are a few outliers, like Puerto Rico, and California, but there are a few things these regions are struggling with.
Where Is the Nectar?
Posted by H.Jennings on 3/12/2019 to
I have GREAT news! You can now buy Nectar of Life at a store near you on the Oregon Coast!
If you don't live near one of these locations, get in touch with us
about your local area and we will do everything we can to get you the
coffee. I have listed our current customers on the Oregon Coast. We will list others soon. If you would like to join the Nectar of Life Coffee Company brand and feature the coffee at your store, restaurant, or eatery let us know. We have low minimum orders and great customer retention! The best part is we feature our customers each week on our Facebook, and Instagram pages at no charge! We know that when your business grows, ours will as well.
Cut the K-Cup!
Posted by H.Jennings on 10/17/2018 to
With K-cups producing (per user) an average of a 6 cubit foot room every year worth of waste, it is worth noting you might not be "wasting" coffee, but you are adding to that Pacific trash pile in grand fashion. I digress. I know most Kcup drinkers don't know that pod is a major drain on our environment. This blog post is about bringing back the good ole' 12 cup brewer and reclaiming our sense of leaving the planet better than we found it. (Even if it means a *little* more work on our part).
Cha-cha-changes to the Gift Baskets
Posted by H.Jennings on 9/11/2018 to
If something is perfect, leave it alone. If it isn’t fix it! With this in mind, I am hard at work putting together our brand new gift basket collection for the upcoming holiday season.
Hello OREGON!
Posted by H.Jennings on 9/10/2018 to
We packed up and moved the entire operation to Pistol River, Oregon from Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho at the end of June 2018. This is our adventure…
In April, we were hit with a second great loss, I lost my dad (and wonderful dog). No one saw the loss coming. In an instant life went from it’s normal level of stress to a volcanic eruption meets a Super Cell tornado. To quote the great Bugs Bunny, “That was a big boom there, Wiley.”
What is "White Coffee?"
Posted by H.Jennings on 4/12/2018 to
Do you want more information about what white coffee is? Is it worth the cost? What does it taste like? Why is organic white coffee important? Is white coffee better than regular roasted coffee? Is there acid free white coffee? Can I buy white coffee whole bean? How do I brew white coffee?
These questions and more are addressed in the blog post below. If you would like more information, feel free to comment below and we will help you out.

Save Money on Organic Coffee
Posted by H.Jennings on 1/13/2018 to
It is no secret, coffee has radically gone up in price even for the quasi cheap coffee. With non-organic coffee you run the risk of adding "bulking" agents like chicory, or robusta. Some folks mistake robusta as a type of "coffee." Although similar looking, robusta beans are much higher in caffeine and acidity. (Hence the reason some folks say "coffee makes me sick." I will get into more detail about different coffee beans in another post). A good cup of coffee is well worth it's weight in beans.
