The History of Cowboy Coffee and Sailors Coffee Company's Homage with Scallywag Blend

In the rugged, untamed landscapes of the American West during the 1800s, cowboys needed a reliable source of energy to power them through long days on the trail. Enter "cowboy coffee," a simple yet bold brew that became a staple of life under the wide-open skies. Made over campfires, this method involved boiling ground coffee in a pot of water, letting the grounds settle to the bottom before pouring a strong, unfiltered cup. No fancy brewing equipment was needed, just a sturdy pot, some hot water, and coffee grounds. The result was a no-frills, hearty brew that fueled many a cattle drive and campfire story.

While cowboy coffee’s methods and flavors have evolved, the spirit of adventure and boldness remains. At Sailors Coffee Company, we pay homage to the daring essence of this tradition with our Scallywag Blend. Just as the cowboys rode into the unknown, our Scallywag Blend captures that adventurous spirit, combining both dark and medium roasted coffees for a brew that's bold, daring, and rich in character—akin to the legendary pirates of old.

This daring blend reveals tasting notes of rich cocoa, indulgent caramel, and subtle hints of vanilla. With every sip, it's a treasure trove of flavor waiting to be discovered, much like the mysteries of the seas. So whether you're setting sail or enjoying a quiet morning at home, our Scallywag Blend is the perfect tribute to the adventurous spirit of both cowboys and pirates.
