I thought I was hallucinating when I seen this coffee brand and the owner at the Vallorcine aid station for the UTMB. I am sure he saved many lives that day with his coffee. It’s rare to find such a quality of coffee in the area. I would 100% recommend and it’s always nice to support a small local brand with such a nice owner.
