No Kings
No Kings
Thomas Paine fled to France in 1792 and promptly got himself thrown in prison by the Jacobins for arguing that the French Revolution shouldn't execute the king. He believed in abolishing monarchy as a system, not in revenge. He spent eleven months in Luxembourg Prison, wrote most of The Age of Reason there, and narrowly escaped the guillotine.
The Marquis de Lafayette volunteered his own money and military expertise to the American revolution at age 19, returned to France to lead its reform movement, and wrote the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen. He bridged both revolutions because he genuinely believed the principles of one applied to the other.
Their shared conviction: no human being is born to rule over others. Not by divine right. Not by inherited wealth. Not by military conquest.
No Kings is a French dark roast: bold, smoky, and unapologetic. The extra Robusta adds caffeine and body. The Central American Arabica adds structure and sweetness beneath the roast. No gods. No masters. Excellent coffee.
Tasting Notes: Bittersweet chocolate, toasted almonds, rich smoky finish.
Body: Full, dense, high caffeine.
