This is the Beginning of Bay Area Beard Co. The first scent. Tampa is sometimes called "Cigar City", and its industrial roots began with Cuban rolled tobacco. During the Spanish occupation, many Cubans fled to Tampa. They may have left Cuba...but Cuba never left them. Not wavering from their loyalty, Cubans would donate a day’s pay each week to support Cuba’s war effort. Cuba gained its independence from Spain in 1898. Tampa's cultural and historical significance still has connections to this time. Using only the finest coffee essential oil....the fragance of Cuban tobacco and sweet vanilla is revealed in this scent.

Just have to say that Matt knocked it out of the park again. The scent alone is amazing, but the texture of the whipped butter is second to none. It goes in the beard so easily and it's not greasy or heavy. Keep doing your thing. You've got a customer for life.
This is a cracking example of a coffee based scent, as real coffee essential oil has been used you really get a freshly ground coffee aroma. It works so well with the Cuban tobacco and slight vanilla sweetness. A*
Fantastic scent profile! The blend of coffee, tobacco and vanilla is amazing. First level coffee mellows into a warm humidor hug. Then the vanilla elevates everything to another level. All three products - butter, oil and balm, make my beard happy - even with the harshest of winter weather. Genesis is truly an origin story that every beard should experience.
I love a coffee scented product and most companies have a goldilocks effect - too heavy and dark almost sickly, others too watery and thin.
Genesis however is just right, striking the balance well, a nice roasted coffee bean with a gentle underpinning of Cuban tobacco, rounded out by sumptuous vanilla!
The oil is a simple - using the word balanced again, blend,with efficacious carriers, not too thick, not too splashy like some
The whipped butter is light, fluffy and pops and crackles ever so gently upon scooping out
