Supporting Heroes Year-Round with Liberty Call Blend

Ah, Valentine’s Day—the season of love, overpriced chocolates, and last-minute gas station roses. But here at Old Salt Coffee, we believe in a different kind of love—the kind that’s brewed strong, served hot, and never lets you down. That’s right, we’re talking about coffee, and more specifically, our Liberty Call Blend, the coffee that fuels Sailors and supports heroes year-round.

A Blend with a Mission

For every bag of Liberty Call Blend sold online, we donate $1 to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS). That’s not just a feel-good gesture; it’s a full-on battle plan to support those who’ve hoisted the anchor and answered the call. The NMCRS provides financial assistance, scholarships, and critical support to active duty and retired Sailors, Marines, and their families—because even the saltiest sea dogs need a lifeline sometimes.

This mission isn’t just about dollars and cents—it’s about taking care of our own. Anyone who has worn the uniform knows that life at sea isn’t always smooth sailing. Emergencies happen, deployments get extended, and sometimes, even the toughest Sailors and Marines need a little help. That’s where NMCRS comes in, ensuring that our shipmates and their families can weather any storm life throws at them.

Why Liberty Call?

If you’ve ever been in the Navy, you know that ‘Liberty Call’ is the sweetest phrase a Sailor can hear. It signals the opportunity for shore leave, offering a chance to step onto solid ground, breathe in fresh air, and perhaps enjoy a well-deserved break. The term "liberty" in naval parlance refers to authorized free time for Sailors to leave the ship and relax, a tradition deeply rooted in naval history. Our Liberty Call Blend was crafted to embody that feeling of relief, celebration, and the simple joy of a well-earned break.

What makes Liberty Call Blend even more special? It contains 10% Kona coffee, sourced from the rich volcanic soils of Hawaii, blended to perfection to create a smooth, well-balanced cup. This touch of Kona adds a hint of natural sweetness and depth, making every sip feel like a moment of well-earned liberty.

Our blend is more than just a bag of beans—it’s a nod to the centuries-old tradition of rewarding hard work with well-deserved rest. Think of it as the coffee equivalent of stepping off the brow after a long deployment, feeling the sun on your face, and knowing you’ve earned this moment.

The Perfect Valentine: Coffee Never Lets You Down

While some people stress over grand romantic gestures, we know the real MVP in any relationship is coffee. Coffee doesn’t forget your anniversary. Coffee won’t ghost you. And coffee certainly won’t judge you for staying in your rack all weekend. So this Valentine’s Day, skip the clichés and give your significant other—or yourself—the gift of a blend that’s as reliable as your Chief Petty Officer’s morning routine.

Sailors have long understood that the best relationships are built on trust, loyalty, and, of course, a shared pot of strong coffee. It’s been the unspoken companion on every mid-watch, the morale booster during long nights in the engine room, and the best way to shake off a little too much "liberty call" in a foreign port!

How You Can Support

Supporting the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is as easy as ordering your next bag of coffee. Whether you drink it black as night or with enough cream to qualify as a milkshake, every cup of Liberty Call Blend helps fund critical programs for our service members and their families. So you’re not just getting a superior cup of coffee—you’re giving back to the community that keeps our seas free and our ships steaming ahead.

And if you really want to go the extra nautical mile, share the love. Buy an extra bag for a Sailor you know, send one to a friend deployed overseas, or just introduce someone new to the joy of waking up with Liberty Call Blend. Small actions add up, and before you know it, you’ll be helping support a network that has been aiding Sailors and Marines for generations.

Hoist A Mug to Our Heroes

This February, we’re hoisting our mugs to the brave men and women who stand the watch, man the rails, and keep our Fleet mission-ready. Liberty Call Blend isn’t just coffee—it’s a tribute, a reminder, and a way to make a tangible impact. So whether you’re deployed, retired, or just an old salt with a love for the sea, hoist a mug and drink to those who keep the tradition alive.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about coffee. It’s about community, camaraderie, and never leaving a shipmate behind.

Fair winds, following seas, and Hoist A Mug, shipmates!
