Cuvée Coffee in Spicewood: Sustainable Coffee Roasted in Our Own Backyard

Written by Mandy Spivey | January 26, 2015

Caffeine addicts consider this: Have you ever tasted coffee roasted so close to you, you can practically smell it from your home?

Coffee drinkers may already appreciate the subtle and rich flavors of Cuvée Black & Blue, the cold coffee drink that is served nitrogenated and straight from the keg. These tempting taps can be found all around Austin and the Lake Travis area. And Cuvée now offers nitrogenated cans for take-home caffeine concoctions worth trying. They make some clean and mean coffee, too, as their East Sixth St. coffee shop can boast.

The whole operation, from roasting to packaging takes place in our own backyard in Lake Travis. Their facility out in Spicewood is where all of the magic happens, and where I got to take a peek into their whole process firsthand.

Lake Travis Area Weekend Events: January 23 – 25

Written by Todd Hower | January 23, 2015

Looking for fun things to do in and around the Lake Travis area? If your plans didn’t work out to find a sitter tonight, you can drop the kids off for a Parents Night Out at Rollie Pollies in Bee Cave. Head out for dinner at any of the fine restaurants in the Lake Travis area.

The rain should clear out by tomorrow so you can enjoy the outdoors with some fresh air and sun. Check out Tree Talk Winter Walk at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Or find a deal indoors at Le Garage Sale going on this Saturday and Sunday at the Palmer Events Center.

Here are a few other suggestions we’re sure you’ll enjoy:

Tree Talk Winter Walk at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center

Written by Emily O'Shaughnessy | January 22, 2015

If you’ve never been, this Saturday is a great time to visit the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.

Really.

Sure, I get that when people think of outdoors in January in Austin the word “wildflower” doesn’t usually come to mind (“cedar,” “allergies” and “miserable” are more like it). However, Saturday is the annual Tree Talk Winter Walk — a very cool event that’s worth the drive from the Lake Travis area.

This family-friendly event provides a perfect opportunity to explore the center. Admission is free, and there are tons of activities for all ages and interests.
