It sure does! Our high quality coffee or tea makes the perfect gift for any occasion and is something everyone loves (as long as they drink coffee or tea). We also offer coffee gift packs to make your gift giving even easier!
Giving bean is committed to bringing you the most natural products we can. All of our cocoa and chai as well as shortbread and biscotti recipes are made with all natural ingredients.
All moisture is removed from the coffee beans during the roasting process, so your coffee can never really ‘go bad’. A sealed bag of coffee can pretty much last forever, once you open the bag quality and freshness decrease.
We’re a small batch roaster serving coffee fanatics that insist on the freshest and finest. Our main three blends range in profile from medium roast “bright” to darker roast “full‐body”. We also have many single origin coffees that have subtle profile differences. If your group is interested please request a sample!
Yes, both are available!
Yes! We currently offer k-kups in our two most popular flavors: Sunrise Breakfast Blend and Salted Caramel.
Our k-kups are compatible with all standard single serve cup brewing machines, including keurig 2.0.
Espresso refers to the method of brewing and grind of coffee rather than the type of coffee bean. The roast commonly used for espresso is a dark roast or french roast so we recommend using any of our dark roast coffees.
If you keep the tea in a sealed bag in a cool dry place it’s good for two years.
All of our coffees and teas are great iced. Some of our favorites are Caramel Creme, French Vanilla, Ethiopian Harar, and Sunrise Breakfast. Teas: Red Berry, Paradise Passion, and Green Tea Mango.

Our bags of tea have a lot of tea in them – 4oz makes about 50-60 cups.

About 6-12 business days after all orders are entered for you to receive the products. (1‐3 days for store orders)

Yes, we do! You can order anything you’d like ahead of time and make 40% profit just like a traditional fundraiser. Any products you have left over can be used to fulfill your in-person order form sales. Our fundraising support people can advise you on the best selection/mix of items.
You put whatever you want on your labels! Your group’s logo will look great on the labels. To ensure you get what you want on your label please send us your logo or image as either a PNG, JPEG, or PDF. Something to keep in mind when selecting your logo or image for the label is that the image will go in a circle on our label that has a white background.
Yes, we can mail to you a 4 oz (enough coffee for a couple of pots) sample of our most popular flavor, Sunrise Breakfast Blend! If you would like us to mail you the 4 oz sample, please request a brochure at online and let us know in the comments section of the form. Please also provide an address to mail the sample.
Immediately. Just register and tell us when you would like to distribute the order forms (start date) and end date (when you’d like to conclude in‐person selling). Online fundraising will be activated automatically, and you’ll receive a special link to a web page for your group.
Having a plan to get your group out to sell is very important. Objectives and incentives for sellers do work when done properly. We will give you some ideas. Selling time?…We suggest 2‐4 weeks. Everything else is ready, (forms, selling instructions, order system, fulfillment, and reporting).
You will be sent a series of emails with detailed instructions on what to do next!
We always try to send the order forms out to you right away once you confirm the amount you need. After that it will take a few days to a week to receive your order forms in the mail. If you are on a time crunch for starting your Giving Bean fundraiser we will send you a PDF file of our order form so you can print out the order forms yourself and start right away!
Depending on how much time you have, we will gladly send you more order forms. If you are short on time, we will provide you with a PDF version of the order form you can print out.

Occasionally FedEx has to split up large orders which means you might get half of your boxes one day and then the other half a few days later. The best thing to do in this situation is to WAIT until you have received all of your boxes. Opening boxes without the instructions and pick slips creates a lot of confusion and headache. So even though it’s hard, please wait until all of your boxes have arrived and then begin unpacking and sorting!
Email us with a list of missing or damaged items. One of our support members will ship out those items as soon as we can so your order will be complete!
Giving Bean does as much as possible to reduce it’s resource consumption and be environmentally friendly. Our roasting process uses a low-energy custom made “smokeless after-burner” that helps reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact in a number of ways.
We recycle all materials eligible and even compost the chaff which is a by product of roasted coffee beans (great for vegetable and flower gardens). We are one of only a few coffee roasters packaging their whole beans in PLA-lined (corn-based) recycled craft paper bags that are fully compostable. Giving Bean employs clean, re-used filler, bubble-wrap and other packing materials (but not boxes generally). We also offer several reusable products for sale (k-kup filters and T-infusers) that help reduce trash volume for our coffee and tea loving customers.
