Canonized a Saint in 1726, his attributes are: a lily (innocence), a cross (piety and sacrifice), skull (early death) and a rosary (devotion to Mary).

| St. Edmund Campion, SJ (1540 –1581) Decaf Blend |

As a promising scholar and much-admired educator, during Elizabethan England, this Saint could have gone onto fame and fortune. Rather, he gave his life to the Jesuits and it was that which eventually sent him to a bloody end at the hands of those who once admired him at Oxford. This decaffeinated coffee is a victorious blend of bold and smoky beans producing a robust yet smooth cup of coffee. You’ll forget it's decaf!

| St. Robert Bellarmine, SJ (1542 - 1621) Breakfast Blend |
|
|
The author of "De Controversils", a monumental work to systematize the various controversies of the time (1576)-so immense that it made an impression throughout Europe and it has never been superseded. His work was recognized by the Holy See and because of his bright example of pastoral zeal he steadily rose through the Church hierarchy to become Cardinal. In the spirit of his prayer, his humility and poverty and his lavish charity for the poor, we have produced this Breakfast Blend, the perfect coffee to awake your senses as you "Carpe Diem".
