If you’ve noticed a spring in your step lately, it might have to do with Jo’s new coffee beans.

Recently, the coffee house began trading with Stumptown Coffee Roasters, a Seattle based company that is expanding its reach across the country.

The switch at Jo’s  has not caused prices to increase and there has been no effect on drink options available.

According to Stumptown, they are dedicated to “sourc[ing] the best coffees in the world and striv[ing] to maintain transparent, quality-based relationships with our farmers along the way.”

Stumptown trade directly with farmers and by cutting out the middle man, the company is able to stay involved in choosing the best quality beans. The new coffee beans are fresh, organic and responsibly sourced.

“No one has really noticed a difference in flavor, but when customers find out we made the switch to Stumptown beans, we’ve received a lot of good feedback,” Jo’s Shift Supervisor Katherine Schroeder said.

Stumptown plans is to get their coffee recognized in more locations throughout Austin, and hope to open in the city in the near future.
