I just came back from the US (flew down, drove back, currently self-isolating in my guest room to avoid contact with kids/wife), and while passing through Portland, I intended to grab some Stumptown as I usually do. It was all closed by the time I arrived.

No biggie, local fancy grocers always carry some in their "local" sections.

I went in, lo and behold... a worker putting stickers for a whole section of Stumptown beans on clearance. I asked why and he said to make space for their new shipment the next few days. I checked the dates, roasted near the end of Nov (between 22-25 to be exact), and barely 2wks old... my usual sweet spot for beans anyway.

Usually if I go into Stumptown location itself, they are often a few days post-roast, which I'd wait until about 2wks mark as I found them tasting the best at that time.

So, grabbed 4 bags at a whopping 70% off (13.99 regular).
