The story of H.C. Valentine -
H.C. Valentine was a Richmond artisanal furniture maker who created hand crafted, elegantly carved pieces from the finest woods with the finest finishes, one precious piece at a time. He believed his legacy was the one piece of furniture being worked on at that one particular moment. As a result, the family named their top tier coffee company in honor of his impeccable taste and quality.
Each guest will start the experience with a H.C. Valentine famous coffee martini paired with an amuse bouche and will end with a blue embroidered bag filled with a unique blend of H.C. Valentine coffee as a parting gift. Special brews to be featured include Roast Master’s Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, Costa Rican Tarrazu, 100 percent Organic Signature Espresso, Indonesian Sumatra and Roast Master’s African Savanna.
