The Whitney

Fresh from Itapua II, his farm in southern Brazil, Jose Carlos Fernandes offers this distinctive Honey Processed Catucai medium roasted for notes of sugar cane, caramel, almonds, and milk chocolate. Named in honor of Medal of Honor recipient William Whitney, a Hillsdale College student from Allen, Michigan who served in the 11th Michigan Infantry in the Civil War. At the battle of Chickamauga, Whitney found his unit without ammunition after repulsing 5 Confederate assaults. Alone he jumped over the parapet and, while sustaining heavy fire, collected ammunition from the bodies piled around the field until he returned to his lines and resupplied his men.
