Back to School Survival Guide

Back-to-school season is here, friends, and that can mean nothing other than it’s time for heavily caffeinated sips and rad coffee gear. From students, to parents, to teachers, we know the start of every school year comes with its own whirlwind of excitement and a little bit of “are we ready for this?”. These are the kind of things that we think about. That is why we put together this School Survival Guide for a moment like this! 

We have compiled a few essentials to keep you fueled, focused, and ready to tackle the year ahead.

Because sometimes, survival looks like the right sip at the right time.

Did Someone Say Gift Boxes?

Gift boxes are what we like to call “top-tier” gifts for back to school. Why? Because they’re little boxes of magic and will surely include something for everyone. (Even for the most “selective” person you know 😌)

Think of our gift boxes as a care package to show appreciation for the special people who deserve it the most. From new college students pulling their first all-nighter to teachers who desperately need delicious caffeine and parents who just survived another school supply run, our boxes are packed with fresh-roasted beans and thoughtful coffee gear to make their day much better.

What Things Can Be Featured? 

Here are a few things we can include in a gift box. The choices are many, and the thoughtfulness applied to each box is endless. 

Tumblers: 

24oz Tan Tumbler—This tumbler is for the heavy sippers who don’t mess around when it comes to delicious sips delivering much-needed caffeine. It fits in a cup holder and is a cute addition to any study area. P.S. It keeps your iced drinks ready to go for longer.

12oz Moss Green Tumbler—Sleek, compact, and perfect for your daily drip or latte fix, this tumbler is small enough not to be an inconvenience and big enough to hold just the right amount of your favorite sip. It’ll quickly become your new everyday sidekick.

TVC Apparel:

Tan Knit Beanie—When the temps drop and winter starts saying its big hello, our Tan Knit Beanie is here to keep you cozy and cute. Made with sustainable, top-tier materials, it’s soft, durable, and ready for every season ahead.

This is the beanie you’ll reach for on repeat—today, tomorrow, and let’s be real… probably forever.

Classic Yam Long Sleeve- The long sleeve that feels like fall has officially begun! Our Classic Yam Long Sleeve is soft in all the right ways. It’s made with 100% ringspun cotton that feels like the warm hug you needed. With a relaxed fit, ribbed cuffs, and lived-in comfort, it’s ready for crisp mornings, golden-hour basking, and every coffee run in between.

It’s not just a long sleeve. It’s a whole vibe.

Coffee Goodness:

Kenya AA- Brewed with intention and precision, our Kenya AA beans are a bold medium roast with rich, full-bodied, and intensely flavorful notes in every sip. With hints of burgundy wine and sun-dried raisins woven throughout, it’s a cup that invites you to slow down life and savor the moments.

Complex yet beautifully balanced, Kenya AA is a constant go-to.

Maple Walnut- Meet your new morning favorite: our  Maple Walnut  beans. Rich, warm, and just a bit nostalgic, these beans wrap you in the comforting flavors of sweet maple syrup and toasted walnuts.

With every sip, indulge in the sweet notes that feel like golden pancakes and deep autumn mornings full of kaleidoscope leaves. Whether you’re starting your day or taking a quiet moment for yourself, this roast is designed to warm you from the inside out. 

Gift Boxes Are For Everyone 

The school year is a marathon, which means giving lasting gifts is the goal. With the right fuel, gear, and a little help from us, you’ll be ready for all the early mornings, midday pick-me-ups, and late nights.

So grab a gift box, and make this year one for the books (literally).
