Brazil | Blend 56 | Medium Roast

  • Chocolate, Nutty, Floral
  • Medium Body, Low Acidity
Region: Cerrado
Elevation: 3,000 – 4,000 feet
Varietals: Catui, Mondo Novo, Caturra
Process: Natural and Semi-Washed


Though great as a drip coffee, Blend 56 was developed especially for use as espresso or a base in espresso blends. La Minita combines natural and semi-washed coffees from select fazendas in the Cerrado region to make up the desired profile. The end result is a blend that is balanced and sweet, with fresh noticeable acidity, flavor nuances of clean berries and fruits, and a thick creamy body. Blend 56 shines in espresso preparation; it exhibits a flavor balance between punchy fruit and chewy nut, produces great crema, and has super long, lingering sweetness.

Decaf Espresso | Water Process

  • Full Body, High Acidity
Producer: Worku Buche
Region: Oromia, Ethiopia
Elevation: 5700-6400 ft
Process: Swiss Water Process, Natural

We’ve blended two roast levels of this excellent Sidama coffee to create a decaffeinated espresso blend that doesn’t need any caffeine to wake you up. Bold, winey flavor and a grapefruit mouth feel. 

Swiss Water Process is a chemical free process. The green coffee is pre-soaked in pure, hot water to create a solution, which is passed through activated charcoal filters that extract the caffeine without extracting the coffee’s particular flavor.
