“I lived near Seattle in the 90's and became a coffee addict, but when we moved to South Dakota I gave it up, since I could never get the quality I had become used to. When we were living in Lander, WY in 2007, the local christian bookstore was recently bought and turned into a coffee shop. So always having hope, I ventured in and discovered this guy knew what he was doing, low and behold he was from Washington, and was served me the most delicious skinny latte I had had in years or maybe ever! I asked what coffee he used and it was Raven's Brew. I was moving to Ketchikan in about 2 weeks, and he said "that's where this is roasted." When we got off the ferry on a Sunday and were cruising around town (literally not 30 minutes into our life in Ketchikan) and saw a drive thru espresso, OMG! Another perfect skinny latte, with Raven's Brew Three Peckered Billy Goat... the rest is history. Being able to go to Safeway every week and try another bag of perfection was really heaven on earth. Enjoying my Deadman's Reach, while looking out my window watching the Tongass Narrows traffic each morning, is one of the most cherished times of my life.”

“About five years ago I was sent to Anchorage for a month to do some contract work. I went to stock up on supplies at the local grocery store when I saw the Raven's Brew Deadman's Reach package. Admittedly it was the artwork that first captured my attention, but I figured if the coffee was half as good as the packaging, it was worth the gamble. The coffee wasn't half as good as the artwork, it was seven thousand times better than the artwork, millions of powerful coffee molecules smacking my taste buds around and giving me a much needed early morning kick in the butt. I've had it shipped to me wherever I've lived (California, North Dakota) ever since.”

“In September 2011, our youngest son completed United States Coast Guard boot camp and was assigned aboard a cutter in Ketchikan, AK. My husband and I accompanied our son to his first duty station (ALASKA! Yay!). While in Ketchikan, my mom, having found "Raven's Brew" while surfing the web about Ketchikan and knowing that my husband and I are true coffee lovers, texted to alert me to try your coffee. We happened to discover Raven's Brew when we stopped at a little local drive-thru coffee stop. We had the best time during our twelve day stay and looked forward to stopping at "Brewed Awakening" each morning before going out on our hiking trails. Discovering your coffee in the grocery store, we bought 10 bags to bring home with us (from Ketchikan to Fort Lauderdale, Florida) unaware we have a local purveyor and unaware of the Raven's Brew website!!! We were without our computers while vacationing in Ketchikan or I'm certain we'd have checked in on you! Please know since we've found you, you have found your way into our home and into the homes of our loved ones! We had a family wedding in December and guested 10 family members here in our home. We ALL enjoyed Raven's Brew (morning and night!) So, whaddya know? For Christmas 2011, we presented all three children with coffee grinders and Santa Caws! Oh, happy day! We ALL love ya'! And, of course, we've told two friends, and they've told two friends, and they've told two friends! Continued success on your 20th celebration!”

“You are so right when you say the coffee brings people together. I went to California State University - Sacramento and my favorite professor there had a son who was in the Coast Guard in Alaska. I would visit my professor as often as he allowed upon graduating said, what to me felt extremely sad, goodbye. Through the years I still have gone up north to visit him every couple years, and he makes time for me. On one visit we were talking about our enjoyment of coffee and he told me he knew of 'some really good stuff.' He said he found it in Alaska while visiting his son, in Ketchikan, I believe. He would order it and the smells coming from the box upon delivery were quite heavenly. So, he wrote down his two favorites - Resurrection Blend and Deadman's Reach - for me to try. I ordered them and have always loved them. After I got married I introduced my husband to them and he especially likes it when I order a box of Ravens Brew various coffees. And, he knows the story of how my dear friend, my professor - recommended this coffee to me. It brings back many fond memories and words of advice given to me by him whenever I drink it.”

“5 years ago I retired from California and started working in Coldfoot, Alaska, in the Alaskan bush. A few of my coworkers and I would trade coffees as a select few of us would bring a favorite brand to sustain us through the tourist season. What first caught my eye was the Deadman's Reach logo on a cup. I asked my coworker about it and he gave me a sample of the Raven's Brew Deadman's Reach coffee to try. I was hooked immediately. 5 years later I continue to consider Raven's Brew my favorite coffees. I proudly wear the t-shirs and love the logos. I like to give Raven's Brew coffee as gifts and have delighted friends and family with a surprise shipment of several of my favorite blends. I still trade coffee with coworkers and have brought many to nirvana with Raven's Brew! I never travel without my french press and Raven's Brew coffees in my backpack or suitcase.”

“I did not know that your coffee line existed until this Labor Day, Sept. 5, 2011. My daughter and I were visiting Lincoln, NM and we were looking at the shops, and taking the Billy the Kid tour. All of the shops in that little town are unique, but when we walked into a shop and saw your line of coffee - I was immediately captivated by the artwork and then I read about your location. I bought the Bruin Blend, because Bear has always been my power animal. That was a positive omen. When I came home and tried your coffee, I was more than satisfied. It was great! I started to tell everyone I know about it, and I selected 'like' on my Facebook page. Thank you so much!”

“I found you while vacationing in the Wallowas. I stopped in the Matterhorn gift shop to get a latte and spotted the T-Shirt. I had to have it. I Love Ravens. Then I saw the coffee on the shelf under the shirts and figured since we were running low on coffee I also picked up a bag of Wicked Wolf. Yummo!!!! I had a little left from or vacation & am using in my Espresso Machine. Heaven. I love the artwork you use for your products. I wanted to decorate my kitchen with a coffee theme. I'm thinking your artwork may be what I go with. Love it! Wish your products were in the Hillsboro, OR area!”
