The Brewed Awakening: One Dad Bod, One Witch, and the Caffeinated Magic of Sightseer Coffee

There are some things in life you don’t expect to go together: socks and sandals, pineapple and pizza, your ex, and literally any form of personal growth. But then, every once in a while, the universe throws you a curveball. Like the perfect combo of a medium-bodied Dad Bod and a Dark(ish) seasonal spell—both brewed to absolute perfection by the coffee conjurors over at Sightseer Coffee.

This is not just a story about two killer coffee blends.

This is a story about what happens when feminism, queer joy, and deep-roasted caffeinated love collide on your kitchen counter. It’s about breaking stereotypes, building empires with beans, and realizing that your morning coffee might just be the most revolutionary thing you do all day.

Buckle up, buttercup. We’re diving deep into the delicious underworld of Dad Bod and Season of the Witch, where every sip tells a story, and every bean is brewed with purpose.

The Rise of the Dad Bod (and Why It’s Perfectly Roasted)

Let’s talk about Dad Bod. Not your dad’s dad bod, although we salute his dedication toflip-flops and cargo shorts. No, we’re talking about this beauty: the medium roast blend that’s as warm and comforting as a Sunday afternoon nap, but way more productive.

At first glance, the name might throw you off. “Dad Bod?” you say, lifting one eyebrow, suddenly very aware of your post-pandemic squish. But here’s the twist: Dad Bod is not about body image. It’s about vibes.

Picture it: You’re up early on a crisp Saturday. You’ve got a flannel shirt on, no plans, and an existential need for caffeine. Enter Dad Bod. This is the blend that says, “Hey, you’re doing great. Let’s crush the day with low-stakes competence and high-quality beans.”

It’s smooth. It’s balanced. It’s got that soft, approachable flavor that makes it universally likable, kind of like the emotionally intelligent dad who’s always first to volunteer for school pickup and knows the difference between serum and moisturizer. Dad Bod is sweet, caramelly, a little nutty—but never overpowering. Think of it as the coffee version of a bear hug.

And here’s the real kicker: Dad Bod is made from beans sourced exclusively from women producers. That’s not just some cute tagline. That’s the heartbeat of everything Sightseer does. Owners Kimberly Helms and Sara Gibson built this whole thing because they looked around and realized the industry was full of women doing the hardest labor—but men getting all the credit (and all the money).

So, they said, “Nope. Let’s change the system by changing where we buy our beans.”

And thus, Dad Bod was born: soft in the middle, strong on principle.

Drink it black for the full experience, or add a splash of oat milk and pretend you’re the main character in a cozy indie film set in Austin (because you are).

Season of the Witch — Dark(ish), Delicious, and Not Here to Hex You (Unless You Deserve It)

On the opposite end of the roast spectrum, we have Season of the Witch—a dark(ish) roast that will seduce your taste buds while setting your soul on fire.

This is the kind of coffee that doesn’t just wake you up. It summons you. It beckons from the shadows of your pantry like some caffeinated oracle whispering, “Come hither, sleepy one. Let us rewrite your morning destiny.”

The vibe? Witchy, warm, unapologetically bold. If Dad Bod is the coffee you’d bring to meet your parents, Season of the Witch is the one you flirt with at a dive bar, fall in love with by accident, and then co-sign a lease with two months later because “it just feels right.”

It’s got notes of deep cocoa, a touch of molasses, and this smoky depth that lingers just long enough to make you question your life choices—in the best possible way.

And don’t let the “dark(ish)” fool you. This roast is still surprisingly gentle, with a velvety finish that glides across your taste buds like Stevie Nicks twirling in a cloud of incense.

You could drink it while journaling in your moonlight garden, or just pair it with a microwaved croissant and your inbox of unread emails. Either way, Season of the Witch brings that midnight magic to your morning madness.

Why These Coffees Are Basically Feminist Icons

Let’s get serious for a second (but not too serious—this is coffee, not a Senate hearing).

You know what’s cool? Tasty coffee. Do you know what’s cooler? Tasty coffee that fights gender inequity at the source.

Sightseer don’t just talk a big game—they walk it. They source 100% of their beans from women producers, and they pay them more-than-fair-trade prices. That means these women aren’t just surviving in the coffee industry—they’re thriving.

And we’re not talking tokenism. We’re talking about real, tangible shifts in economic power, environmental stewardship, and generational wealth. Every bag of Dad Bod and Season of the Witch you brew is like a little act of caffeinated revolution.

Because when women are supported in coffee production, entire communities benefit. Health improves. Education rises. The planet breathes a little easier. You? You just wanted a solid cup of coffee. But look at you now, being a hero before 9 a.m.

You didn’t choose the brewing life. The brew life chose you.

What to Do with These Blends (Besides Mainline Them)

Sure, you can throw these bad boys in your French press or espresso machine and call it a day. But if you’re feeling extra, here are a few weirdly specific, emotionally charged ways to enjoy your Dad Bod and Witch seasons:

Dad Bod Pairing Ideas:

•          Sip it while building IKEA furniture and not losing your cool.

•          Pair it with pancakes and a moral pep talk from Ted Lasso.

•          Drink it while scrolling Zillow listings you definitely can’t afford, but like to imagine you can.

•          Brew it during your “I’m starting therapy again” era.

•          Season of the Witch Pairing Ideas:

•          Drink it in the bath with candles and a Spotify playlist titled “Villain Origin Story.”

•          Serve it in a vintage mug you bought at a flea market because you felt a vibe.

•          Brew it during your late-night tarot card sessions (no judgment if it’s just Uno cards you renamed).

•          Sip while plotting your next move—life, love, or career. This blend doesn’t care, it just believes in you.

Let’s Talk About Sightseer (And Why You Should Love Them)

If you haven’t figured it out yet, Sightseer Coffee is not your average roaster.

They’re queer- and women-owned, proudly based in Austin, and completely obsessed with roasting coffee that’s both delicious and meaningful. Kimberly and Sara didn’t start this thing for clout. They started it because they believed in the power of coffee to shift economies, narratives, and morning routines.

Their whole business model is built on the idea that great coffee doesn’t have to come at the expense of people or the planet. And they prove it—every single bag, every single brew.

They’ve worked hundreds of pop-ups, growing a community of loyal drinkers, and even opened their own dreamy little coffee bar on South 1st Street in Austin. It’s not just a coffee company. It’s a movement—with a killer logo and even better blends.

Just Buy the Coffee

You don’t need to overthink this.

If you’re into a sweet, smooth, crowd-pleasing medium roast that gives “supportive dad energy” and ethical sourcing, go grab the Dad Bod Medium Roast Blend.

If you’re feeling moody, mysterious, magical, or mildly unhinged in a delightful way, go with Season of the Witch Dark(ish) Roast.

Or get both and mix your vibes. You contain multitudes. So does your coffee cabinet.

Final Sip

Let’s be real: the world is kind of a mess. But your morning cup doesn’t have to be.

Thanks to Sightseer, your daily coffee ritual can be more than just a buzz. It can be a vote for equity. A small act of rebellion. A deep, delicious breath of “I’ve got this.” With the Dad Bod in one hand and a Witch’s brew in the other, you’re not just caffeinating—you’re participating in something bigger.

You’re starting your day with boldness, intention, and enough flavor to make even the sleepiest Tuesdays feel like a revolution.

So go on. Brew up your magic. Your morning just got a whole lot more meaningful.
