  • Medium Body, Low Acidity 
Farmer: Perla de Inza Cooperative
Region: Inza
Elevation: 1800-2100 meters
Varietal: Castillo, Caturra, Colombia

The municipality of Inzá is nestled in the middle of the great Colombian Massif. A mountainous region where most of the mayor rivers of the country are born, including the Magdalena, the Cauca and the Patia river. Inza is surrounded by volcanoes, plus the altitude and climate of this region make it perfect for growing specialty coffee. Very small producers tend to their land and hold on to their traditions. Many of them have produced coffee with little or no chemicals for generations. The Pillimue Family, crucial members of the community, led a program to certify 80 producers in organic practices. This small group of producers have become leaders in innovative organic practices, leading workshops in the community in order to re-use a lot of the waste created by the farm and to make bio fertilizers that are cheap and useful.

Ethiopia | Light Roast | Ardi Natural

  • White Peach, Clementine, Mulberry
  • Light Body, Medium Acidity 
Region: Sidamo Durato Bombe
Elevation: 6726 ft
Process: Natural

This coffee is naturally processed. This style of processing consists of picking only ripe cherries and laying them out to dry intact. The coffee must be turned consistently for it to dry evenly and to prevent mold growth. It shined on the cupping table at longer roasting times. Its high density translates to very high acidity in the cup, but lowering the heat application before first crack allows more time for sugars to caramelize and balance its inherent brightness.

This coffee makes a lovely, light and fruity cup.

Holiday | Blend

  • Cranberry, Roasted Chestnut, Gingerbread
  • Medium Acidity, Full Body

This full bodied coffee reminded us of some other well known right jolly old elf. The warming tingles right down to the toes to make every cold, frosty morning seem bright and comfortable. 

Our Light Roast Brazil coffee is combined with the magnificent French Roast Costa Rica to make a satisfying blend suitable for roasting chestnuts, dipping gingerbread, or just trying to clear your head from too much wassil.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
