Mystic Monk Coffee
Company History
Mystic Monk Coffee is a company established by Father Daniel Mary, the Prior of the Carmelite Order of monks in Clark, Wyoming. The monks are a group of 13 living in a small home. Coffee sales are used to support the brotherhood and to eventually prepare for expansion of the order.
Coffee is produced using high quality fair trade Arabica and fair trade/organic Arabica beans.
