How Filthy Pirate got its name?
Just be yourself...steal a ship and burn the port down if you want to!
How Filthy Pirate got its name?
Well…it’s a long and bloody tale, and quite honestly, being drunk for most of it plays a role. However, due to the statute of limitations being in effect, our pirate lawyer mentioned we have to wait another 5 years before we can divulge the true origins of Filthy Pirate.
“Where did you get the name Filthy Pirate?” This is the most asked question we get when we meet new skallywags who are in search of great coffee treasure.
My reply to that question is, It is also the quest to do our own thing with coffee and break away from the mainstream norms of the politically correct coffee industry.
Here’s an excerpt from someone who traveled on my ship:
“You’re Blackbeard and we are your random Filthy Pirate Crew. You found us all over this department in random spots. And here we are, ready to follow you. And they will too.”
I laughed. “Blackbeard, huh?”
“Well it helps that you’re crazy, intense, and a person people want to follow”.
It’s true. There isn’t a person around that doesn’t have a Dan story. In true folklore fashion, each had its own take on the mythical creature that is Dan Spencer.
And the name Filthy Pirate stuck.
Filthy Pirate has evolved into a Tucson coffee business, and we still try and hold true to the Pirate lore of arriving at port, burning the city, and stealing another ship to leave. This is metaphorically speaking, of course, as there is not a whole lot of ocean in Arizona. Danimal is just an average dude who is bringing the pirate life to the coffee business. Stay Caffeinated!!

Maya Tea
Our Local Partner
Maya Tea Company first sprouted roots in the mind of our founder, Manish Shah, who noted the rising popularity of chai tea. Born in India, Manish sipped chai throughout his childhood and into his adult life. To meet the demand for an authentic chai product, Manish and his brother Yash developed a chai blend reminiscent of the chai prepared by their mother in youth. Packaged in teabags for convenience and freshness, the new product was labeled “MY Chai” after the first initials of the two brothers’ first names. Later they developed the first chai tea that could be brewed using commercial coffee brewers for cafes and restaurants. As business grew they received requests from customers and retail clients for more traditional teas as well. The Maya Tea Company was born.
