The Upsetter
The Upsetter beat out 170 other coffees in a double-blind taste test to win the 2019 Good Food Award. The award highlights both the superior flavor of this blend while honoring our social and environmental responsibility. This one-of-a-kind blend includes sweet, nutty tastes of Nicaragua, spicy notes from Sumatra, and the beautiful fruit-forward qualities of Ethiopian beans. Now it was awarded the Bronze Medal in the 2025 Golden Bean Awards as an Espresso.
We named our Upsetter Espresso after Lee “Scratch” Perry, known as “The Upsetter”, a Jamaican record producer famous for his unusual remixes, using 8-track analog recording to produce strange, unique, and beautiful sounds. Read more here.
Although we originally created this blend to be an espresso coffee, this blend won the 2019 Good Food Award as an outstanding drip coffee - try it both ways! It has now won awards as both.

Shipping
We make every attempt to ship orders out in a timely manner. In most cases, we will get your order out in 1-2 business days.
Once your package is in the hands of the shipper, it is out of our hands. If you have provided an email address, you will receive tracking updates. We only have access to the same tracking information as you.
If there is a problem with your delivery, the most expedient way to resolve it is to contact your local US Post Office or other shipper (UPS, Fedex, etc), to inquire as to the whereabouts of your package.
We do ship internationally to select countries. There are import and export restrictions that prohibit certain items, so we cannot ship to all countries.
In addition to shipping costs, please be aware that taxes and fees vary by country and can be quite substantial. There are taxes, duties, and even customs "brokerage fees" charged by certain shippers, such as UPS and FedEx.
When you complete an international purchase from Shungite Queen, you will be able to see the expected charges for taxes, duties, customs, and brokerage fees before completing your purchase, so there will be no unexpected surprises upon delivery.

Please inspect your order upon receiving it. Contact us immediately if the item is damaged or defective, or if you received the wrong item. This happens rarely, but we will always strive to make it right!

To be eligible for a return or exchange, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, and in its original packaging.
To discuss a return or exchange, please contact us at the email below and we will respond within 24 hours about what to do next.

Certain types of items cannot be refunded such as custom products or special orders. If you wish to return a custom item, it may be eligible for a partial refund, so please get in touch with us with your specific questions or concerns.
When ordering custom jewelry, make sure to measure carefully per the instructions provided so we will get it right the first time. Necklace lengths, wrist sizes, etc. We always welcome questions about size and fit prior to ordering!
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items, apothecary products, or gift cards.
Refunds
A refund will be issued once we have received and inspected your return. If approved, we will notify you and issue the refund on your original payment method. Please keep in mind it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process the refund - typically a few days.
