n a previous post on the subject of coffee I mentioned M.E. Swing Co., but
didn't have detailed info handy. Here's the poop:

437 11th St. NW, Wash., D.C. 20004 (across Pennsy Ave. from the Old Post
Office and up 1/2 block)

phone:  202.628.7601

current prices:

Swing's MESCO Blend    $5.10/lb
French Breakfast        5.10
Ethiopian               5.10
Java & Mocha            5.20
Guatemalan              5.20
Colombian               5.20
Kenya AA                5.65
Italian Espresso        5.65
High Mountain Blend     5.85
Mocha Harrar            5.85
Sumatran                6.95
Hawaiian Kona          13.00
Jamaican Blue Mt.      30.00

Decaf Colombian         6.95
Decaf Guatemalan        6.95
Decaf Espresso          7.75
Decaf Hazelnut Creme    8.95
Decaf Chocolate Raspbry 8.95

Hazelnut Creme          6.95
Swiss Choc Almond       6.95
Irish Creme             6.95
Vanilla Nut Creme       6.95
Chocolate Raspberry     6.95

They also sell tea, both in bulk and in bags. Bulk prices range from
$1.80 to 2.10 /lb, bags are $2.25/50-count box.

They ship UPS, and will send you a price sheet with a shipping table on
the reverse side.

Also on the plus side, they've been around since 1916.

As I said previously, for all but the Kona and Blue Mt., I believe they
have the lowest prices for consistent quality in the area.
