A reader mentioned that Cme Brew is offering a special “stock up” price of $168 (plus shipping) for 50 pounds of current crop, gourmet Arabica coffee beans for home roasting. These beans will store for up to three years. They also have bulk teas in 1 kilo (2.2 lbs.) glass lined, heat sealed bags. Chun Mee, and Special Gunpowder “Temple of Heaven” green teas are $22 per kilo, plus shipping. Each kilo will make about 400-to-500 six ounce servings. Larger orders can qualify for deeper discounts. Tell Charlie at Cme Brew that you heard about it at SurvivalBlog. Phone: 1-800-567-6238
