St. Helena and Napa, November 2011---- Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company (St. Helena branch) hosted a ‘cupping’ on October 28 for a group of military war vets based at The Pathway Home in Yountville. Roastmaster Charlie Sange explored the nuances of tasting coffees and the world of blends with the group. As a result the group put together its own blend, which will be available for sale at both Roasting Company locations, St. Helena and Napa. The Pathway Blend is $13.95 per 12oz bag and Napa Valley Coffee Roasting Company will give 20% of retail sales to The Pathway Home. The Pathway Home, based in Yountville, is an independent non-profit residential recovery program created specifically for veterans who are living with Post Traumatic Stress or Traumatic Brain Injury. These men have survived the stressors or war, but find themselves experiencing problems that are “getting in the way” of their functioning at top form. The Pathway Home program can help maximize each person’s mental and physical health, resiliency, and overall functioning. Pathway is a true therapeutic community provided in a unique physical and treatment environment.
