Fonte Coffee will donate sales from rare Panama coffee to Pike Place Market Foundation
Posted by Melissa Allison
Fonte Coffee Roaster got hold of some of the world's best and rarest coffee and will donate all the proceeds from its sales to the Pike Place Market Foundation.
The Fonte crew -- including owner Paul Odom, former U.S. Barista Champion Bronwen Serna and master roaster Steve Smith -- celebrated La Esmeralda Geisha at Fonte's new cafe and wine bar on First Avenue on Thursday afternoon. It's being sold by the half pound alone ($49.95) or in a gift pack with a Fonte mug ($59.95). Limit is one half-pound per customer.
Fonte coffee has been roasted for more than 20 years in Georgetown, but just this summer opened its first Seattle coffee shop (and wine bar, with sommelier Tysan Dutta, but that's another story).
A portion of sales from other gift sets will also go to the foundation, including packs with El Socorro y Anexos from Guatemala, a coffee blend called Bin 16, and Fonte holiday blend.
