Fiddleheads to begin roasting its own coffees

Kickoff events highlight “Start Fresh” campaign

 

THIENSVILLE, Wisconsin – (September 30, 2009) – Fiddleheads, a well-known name among café coffee drinkers in Ozaukee County, will begin roasting its own coffees that will be sold in its cafes and available to consumers and wholesale customers via the Internet. 

 

“Since 1996, Fiddleheads has been serving quality coffee at its three cafes,” says Mike Wroblewski, co-owner of the new company, Fiddleheads Coffee Roasters.  “Now we are enhancing the quality and freshness of our coffees by doing our own roasting.  It gives us greater control over the coffee-making process and quality, and enables us to expand the brand worldwide with the finest coffees you’ll ever savor.”

 

Nationally, in conjunction with announcing the company’s roasting business, Fiddleheads will also launch a new website,  www.fiddleheadscoffee.com.  The Start Fresh campaign highlights the company’s custom-roasting philosophy.

 

“With our focus on roasting, we will be selecting only premium coffee beans from the finest farms around the world.  Then our beans are masterfully roasted to bring out the maximum natural flavors,” Wroblewski says.  “In addition, we guarantee that all on-line orders will be ‘roasted to order.’  That’s how we define freshness and set ourselves apart from the competition.” 

 

To celebrate the new company, events will be held at the three Fiddleheads cafés in Thiensville, Mequon, and Cedarburg.  The events are free and open to the public.  At each of the events customers will have the opportunity to sample a selection of Fiddleheads coffees - from Brazil Carmo de Minas, to Guatemala Las Crucitas, to Sumatra Lintong.   In addition, there will be a drawing for a top-of-the-line coffee maker, the Mocca Master Thermal Brewer.  Cookies and pastries, and juice for the kids, also will be provided.
