LaConte Bold is an espresso dark roast coffee from STG Originals in Chandler, Arizona. It is dedicated to the memory of retired Navy SEAL Dave LaConte who was as killed November 13, 2009 when his vehicle was hit by a roadside IED while supporting US Army operations in the Tangi Valley, Afghanistan. The idea for the coffee came from Dave’s daily ritual of coffee and cigars. In fact, his last email to the proprietor of San Tan Gear sent the day before his passing said “Cheers, Next time you’re having a coffee and cigar, think of me, Bro!”

Now, it’s a great way for all of us to commemorate Dave LaConte’s memory and to also help out our veterans as all proceeds go to various Wounded Warriors charities. Available as Whole Beans or Ground in 1 lbs bags, get yours from www.santangear.com.
