With every bag of Freetown 

Provide clean, safe water for TWO people in need.

We teamed up with Greenville-based nonprofit Set Free to create a coffee that gives back with every bag. Freetown features Blue Boy—Methodical’s best-selling blend—in a colorful, limited-edition package featuring original artwork by Greenville-based artist Kim Hassold.

Coffee and water have always made a pretty great pair. With Freetown, they can do something even better.

The organization

Set Free

Set Free works in communities where something as basic as clean water can change the trajectory of an entire family. Dirty water leads to sickness. Sickness leads to medical debt. And in some of the communities Set Free serves, that debt can leave families vulnerable to exploitation and child slavery. 

Providing clean water helps break that cycle before it begins. 

The name Freetown has a few layers to it. “Free” comes from Set Free, while “town” reflects the colorful community depicted in Kim Hassold’s artwork. It’s also a nod to Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone—one of the places where Set Free is bringing clean water and sharing the hope of Christ.

So fill your cup. You just helped fill someone else’s—with clean water that can change a life.

FAQ

When will my order ship?

Freshness is critical to fully enjoying coffee. We roast to order to ensure your coffee is at peak freshness when it arrives. We roast to order and ship Monday-Thursday. Orders are usually fulfilled the production day after they are placed (for example, orders placed on Monday will ship on Tuesday). Orders placed Thursday-Sunday will be fulfilled and shipped on Monday.
Can my coffee be ground?

By you? Yes. By us, sadly, no. Currently, we can only ship whole-bean coffee.
What if my package is delayed?

Sometimes our shipping partners experience delays due to weather, heightened demand, technical issues, pandemics, or aliens. All of which is out of our hands, except the aliens, but that's not for here.

If your package is delayed, let us know and we'll track it down and escalate its delivery. If it's delayed more than 2 weeks past the shipment date, and your order includes coffee, we'll either refund your money or ship you fresh coffee at no cost.
Can this item be returned?

Brew gear, apparel, or other non-perishable products, can be returned for a full refund as long as the items are unused and within 30 days of delivery.
