PORTO RICO IMPORTING CO.
Porto Rico Importers has been a staple Italian mom-and-pop storefront at 201 Bleecker Street In NYC since 1907. Hands down they have the best coffee beans in the city & beyond (way beyond). The beans are roasted daily in the back of the shop, which creates an aroma that spills into the streets and stops you in your tracks. I can't say that we opened Descendant of Thieves Bleecker shop right next store because of them, but I also can't say that we didn't. However, I can say that we did the most intellectually logical thing that one could do... make friends with them. This led to talks of a collaboration and then hours of backroom taste testing of blends with complimenting roasting techniques to create our own unique coffee. Porto Rico isn't good because they are old...They are old because they are good.
THE BLENDS
ROASTED AT 201 BLEECKER STREET NYC
SLEEP IS THE COUSING OF DEATH
A high-grade blend of South and Central American Arabicas that are roasted in the back room of 201 Bleecker Street, NYC. The beans were selected from higher altitudes with warmer climates, which are optimal conditions for growing the coffee cherries. The result is a rich, dark, medium body coffee, with a smooth finish.

HIGH SPEED CHASE
It’s not the stimulant ‘Speed’ ground up, but dammit, it’s not far from it. We requested only beans with the absolute highest amount of caffeine available and then utilized a light-roast quick-cool technique that ultimately preserves the highest dose per bean. Purchase
Coffee = Legal Drug
