Glen Rose 'Paluxy River Turtle' Medium Roast Coffee

The Legend of the Paluxy River Turtle

Long before the cowboys arrived in Glen Rose, Texas, the banks of the Paluxy River were home to giants. While the massive Acrocanthosaurus left its famous three-toed tracks in the mud, legend tells of a much smaller, much sweeter prehistoric inhabitant: the Giant Paluxy River Turtle.

As the story goes, these ancient turtles didn't just bask in the sun—they were the "gourmets of the Cretaceous." They spent their days gathering wild hazelnuts from the riverbanks and dragging them into sun-warmed pockets of caramel-colored clay and wild cacao pods that had drifted down from the hills.

A Discovery in the Stone

Fast forward 113 million years. A local explorer, wandering the riverbed near Dinosaur Valley, noticed a peculiar set of tracks. They weren't the sharp claws of a T-Rex or the heavy thuds of a Sauropod. They were smooth, swirling patterns that smelled faintly of chocolate and toasted nuts.

Deep within a limestone crevice, protected by the very same Earth that preserved the dinosaur tracks, he found the "fossilized" recipe for the ultimate morning treat.

The Modern Brew

We’ve captured that prehistoric magic in every bag of Paluxy River Turtle coffee. We took the spirit of Glen Rose—the adventure, the history, and a touch of Texas grit—and blended it with the classic "Turtle" trio:

Rich Chocolate (for the deep river mud)

Buttery Caramel (for the golden Texas sunset)

Toasted Hazelnut (for the crunch of the riverbed)

It’s a dessert-inspired medium roast that’s so good, it’s worth sticking around for another era. No fossils were harmed in the making of this coffee—just 100% prehistoric flavor!
