The newest addition to the signature James Boyce Collection of custom- crafted culinary specialty products is hand-roasted, hand-blended coffee prepared in small batches from the highest quality Sumatran, Kenyan and Guatemalan beans.

James Boyce, executive chef at Studio, partnered with 112-year-old private roaster, Royal Cup Coffee, to develop this sustainable new blend, which is certified by the Rainforest Alliance.

Chef Boyce personally oversaw the exacting and lengthy process of sourcing, roasting, blending and cupping before the perfect coffee blend was achieved. He now serves this proprietary blend at Studio, where it is brewed in a French press. It also brews nicely by the traditional drip method or as an espresso coffee. An ideal after-dinner coffee when entertaining at home, the custom blend is also a thoughtful holiday hostess gift.

Chef James Boyce Collection Coffee is available in 12-ounce bags for $12.95 and may be purchased at www.montageshops.com or by calling Julie Wagaman, assistant to James Boyce at (949) 715-6033.
