THE SHAG
Regular price
$16.99
The Shag | Dancing Ox
Bold, smooth, and never in a hurry, The Shag moves to its own rhythm. Named after the iconic Carolina Shag, a dance born along the beaches of the Carolinas in the 1940s and celebrated for its effortless glide and laid-back style.
This medium-dark blend captures that same easygoing spirit. Bringing together the rich chocolate notes of Brazil and the balanced sweetness of Colombia, The Shag flows across the palate with flavors of toasted nuts and a dark chocolate finish. Easygoing yet full of character, it's a coffee that invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and enjoy life's simple pleasures.

Find Your Rhythm...
The Shag was crafted for coffee drinkers who appreciate a rich, smooth cup without excessive brightness. Brew it as a traditional drip coffee to showcase its balanced sweetness and chocolate-forward profile, or prepare it in a French press to enhance its velvety body and nutty undertones.
As an espresso, The Shag produces a creamy shot with notes of caramel, cocoa, and roasted nuts, making it an excellent foundation for lattes, cappuccinos, and other milk-based drinks. Its approachable character makes it just as enjoyable black as it is with a splash of cream.
Pair it with breakfast pastries, cinnamon rolls, chocolate desserts, or a leisurely weekend morning.

"I have been a customer for several years now and just love the vibe of this company. I had Moonwalk for breakfast this morning and several cups of The Shag yesterday to get me over jet lag from a long flight from Asia. Glad to be back in the States again to have my fave bean! Glad to support small, independent companies like this one. Keep it up y’all."
