Gift-givers looking to find a unique addition to any coffee enthusiast’s lineup can look no further than Char & Stave, the Pennsylvania roastery and full-service café-by-day, cocktail bar-by-night helmed by Jared Adkins of Bluebird Distilling. Influenced by Adkin’s distilling experience, Char & Stave makes “coffee by whiskey people,” with signature Barrel-Aged Roasts that utilize a process strikingly similar to the aging process of Bluebird Distilling’s wide catalogue of brown spirits. Char & Stave’s flagship Four Grain Bourbon Aged Blend ($25) is aged in brown spirit barrels used to make the distillery’s noted whiskeys and bourbons.
In addition to the roastery’s barrel-aged blends, Char & Stave also offers five signature roasts, including Bluebird Morning ($18), Everyday ($18), Flannel ($19), Dark Voodoo ($18), and Adventure Espresso ($18).

FOR THE FOODIE AND AT-HOME CHEF
For the foodie and creative at-home chef: Poi Dog sauces, purveyors of Hawai’i at home condiments led by founder and acclaimed Chef Kiki Aranita, is the perfect gift for any food lover looking to expand their sauce lineup! As seen in The New York Times, Good Morning America, Food Network, BuzzFeed, and more, Poi Dog Sauces showcase island-inspired flavors with its newest batch of Chili Peppah Water, Guava Katsu Sauce, and Huli Sauce, all available bottled for retail.
These sauces are available nationally as on Poi Dog’s website, as well as in select retailers in Pennsylvania, California, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, and Virginia.
Poi Dog Huli and Guava Katsu Sauces recently launched into 50+ Whole Foods Markets in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia.
Available flavors:
- Huli ($17/12 oz | Vegan, gluten free) — “Huli” is Hawaiian for ‘turn’ with “Huli Huli” referring to many turns and the method of cooking Huli Huli chicken over an open flame. Huli Sauce is packed with sweet pineapple, deeply savory miso, and fragrant Chinese five-spice. Exceptionally diverse, it can be used to baste chicken, but also gives vegetables, mushrooms, and even burgers, a deep, sweet savoriness. Vegetarian.
- Guava Katsu Sauce ($16/12 oz | Vegan, gluten free) — Guava Katsu sauce is tropical, umami-rich, fruity and gingery. A Japanese-style BBQ and dipping sauce made with guava, miso, ginger, tomato, and dried mushroom. Meaty, rich, and deeply flavorful — but it happens to be vegan!

FOR THE PERSON WHO PUTS TABASCO ON EVERYTHING
For the tabasco obsessed: Poi Dog Sauces, the woman and AAPI-owned line of Hawai’i at-home condiments, offers a Hawaiian twist on the popular sauce, dubbed Chili Peppah Water. Poi Dog’s signature offering is inspired by Owner Kiki Aranita’s childhood in Hawai’i, where Chili Peppah Water was found on most tables in Hawai’i, nestled next to the shoyu. Something you’d hear in Hawaii a lot is, “chili peppah water over everything”, and “everything” refers to rice, meats, macaroni salad, vegetables, and more — making it a perfect substitute for topping dishes with tabasco.
Chili Peppah Water is available nationally as on Poi Dog’s website, as well as in select retailers in Pennsylvania, California, Colorado, Georgia, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, and Virginia.
This version lends everything a spicy, vinegary tang, a gingery kick laced with Hawaiian Sea Salt and it is made with seasonal peppers from Boonville Farm Collective, so batches will change depending on when they are brewed. Rice vinegar is infused with a variety of chilis to create a savory, vibrant condiment that kicks a refreshing boost into everything and anything chefs can think of, from poke to avocado margaritas.
