Spreading Joy
As firm believer that coffee is the adhesive that holds the universe and our collective good will together, I am forever grateful to the folks at Tandem for their incredible work.
Portland based Tandem Coffee Roasters was started by Kathleen and Will Pratt in 2012. Tandem offers a rotating list of single-origin coffees and seasonal blends. In 2014 they opened their second location in Portland's West End, Tandem Bakery and Cafe. Along with serving their fresh roasted beans they put a spot light on incredible baked goods. Sticky buns with the optimal level of perfect ooey-gooeyness and a biscuit breakfast sandwich whose subtle alchemy eludes accurate description. (It's insanely good.)
We are proud to offer their West End Blues, Time and Temperature roasts along with the Sunlamp for the decaf converts in the crowd. We are excited to launch a new offering in our store La Piramide. It’s the kind of coffee you could drink every day. It’s straightforward enough that you can chug it but complex enough that you can slow down and savor it. It’s full bodied, sweet, and caramel-ly with subtle notes of red apple, ripe cherry and amaretto.
The folks at Tandem feel passionate about sourcing at origin and working in partnership with small growers and specialty importers.
And you can have the warm fuzzies about supporting this local business. They are committed to giving "1% of annual sales are directly donated to environmental non-profits doing what they can to protect the future of our planet."
They're also Climate Neutral Certified. The heck does that mean?
"That means we offset our 2021 footprint by purchasing carbon credits (token-type units that represent carbon emission reductions) to fund climate change solutions like smarter energy and happier forests. Our token offsets are going towards reforestation in Alaska, solar projects in the Gansu Province of China, and the Sispara Wind Project in Maharashtra, India. On top of spending money to let others do the hard work, our crew will construct and monitor a plan every year to continue to reduce our emissions."
We would love for you to warm up your winter mornings, or afternoons and evenings with these amazing products. Enjoy!

Recipes (ME + NH)
Sous Vide Pork Chops - Maybe some of you all scored an immersion circulator this holiday season? Or treated yourself to one? If so, add this to your recipe box. SO GOOD. SO FULL PROOF.
Roasted Apple and Parsnip Soup - "Homey. Warming. Healthy. And not at all a bad way to kick off 2023." I'm quoting myself from last week's Italian bean soup recipe. Works here, too.
Trout Almandine - My parents made this up at camp for NYE and said it was amazing. And I believe them.
Charred Chicory Salad with Apple and Walnut - This Sugarloaf Chicory from Dandelion Spring that some of you are getting looks beautiful. It's bitter and spicy and a perfect foil for fatty foods so definitely experiment. When charred or braised, the sweetness start to really shine, especially with some granny smith apples and mustard vinaigrette. A fine side for some pork chops or...
Pan-Roasted Fish Fillets With Herb Butter - Classic and usable with just about any white fish fillet.
Turkish Fried Eggs in Herbed Yogurt - Yogurt is a sneakily versatile ingredient. I say that because I so often relegate it to fruit and granola parfait snacks but then I see dishes like this... Will be making this toot suite. For dinner 'cuz there's no bad time for fried eggs.
