We ship our green coffee inside hermetic Ecotact liner bags (not included!) and secure them in these drawstring bags before shipping. They're pretty sturdy and stack up well! Our warehouse staff loves how versatile these bags are, whether for hauling a bunch of laundry around, pinning it up as a decoration, or for the next potato sack race. (Your mileage may vary on that last one.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sweet Maria's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46205117333654,"sku":"BAGS-SHRB-0503","price":7.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1518\/0182\/files\/sweet-marias-coffee-shrub-jute-drawstring-bag-blue-1_1.jpg?v=1769171442"},{"product_id":"sweet-maria-s-blue-jute-tote-bag","title":"Sweet Maria's Blue Jute Tote Bag","description":"\u003cstyle\u003e#html-body [data-pb-style=UVMYQRD]{justify-content:flex-start;display:flex;flex-direction:column;background-position:left top;background-size:cover;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-attachment:scroll}\u003c\/style\u003e\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"row\" data-appearance=\"contained\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\u003cdiv data-enable-parallax=\"0\" data-parallax-speed=\"0.5\" data-background-images=\"{}\" data-background-type=\"image\" data-video-loop=\"true\" data-video-play-only-visible=\"true\" data-video-lazy-load=\"true\" data-video-fallback-src=\"\" data-element=\"inner\" data-pb-style=\"UVMYQRD\"\u003e\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"text\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFunctional, reusable, sustainably-produced, and not bad-looking!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe designed this tote in unison with the launch of our new 20 Lb.
