Our Story

I used to hate coffee.

Unless it was full of cream and sugar and pretty much tasted like warm coffee ice cream. So I didn't drink it often because I knew all that junk wasn't great for me.

But when COVID hit, Jason and I started a fun tradition of drinking coffee while naked hot tubbing each morning. I loved our tradition, but didn't love all the crap I was putting into my body. Fortunately, before too long into said tradition, our friend Kim served us coffee brewed with her own blend of spices. Not only was it delicious, but I didn’t have to put as much cream and sugar in it to love drinking it. I went home armed with her recipe and then started playing around with other spice blends. Some were amazing, others not so much (PSA: don't put sage in your coffee - tastes like a weird combo of steak flavoring and coffee). I was flabbergasted that no one else was selling anything like it. And I was compelled to see if other people loved it as much as I did. So Vashon Island Coffee Dust was born.

We hope you love Coffee Dust as much as we do.
