Wine-like and fruit forward with notes of tart cherry, dried apricot, and fresh herbs and spices like clove and juniper. Known for its traditional Giling Basah or wet-hull process, this coffee is a true rarity for Indonesia and Sumatra, in particular. Smallholder producers deliver their cherry to the Koperasi mill where it is sorted and meticulously dried on raised beds. Because of the frequent and unpredictable rainfall common to the area, the coffee is dried under a canopy to protect it from the elements. While coffee can certainly take longer to dry in a humid climate like this, the resulting cup has surprisingly clean fruity notes and intriguing florals.

Altieri Specialty Coffee is an award winning and family-owned group of farms from Boquete, Panama. This elegant coffee is part of their Alessa lot and is produced at their Mima Estate, which sits on the eastern slope of the Baru Volcano. Surrounded by the virgin cloud forests of the Baru National Park, winds from the Pacific and Atlantic oceans collide at this altitude, creating microclimates different from the rest of the country. Papaya sweetness, guava acidity, Fuji apple slices, lemon curd pastry, orange blossom and jasmine aroma.

This Anaerobic Natural coffee is processed with a very specific and strict protocol. The first step is to float the coffee to remove any low density, under-ripe, or damaged cherries. After this initial sorting, cherries are covered in boiling water in a process called "Bourbon Blanching". After one minute, the water is drained and the cherries are transferred to airtight containers to ferment for 6 days, until the pH drops to 4.0. Scroll down for full process description. This labor intensive process provide a cup full of boozy fruits, including sweet, juicy berries, cherry and chocolate.

From the famed coffee region in the mountains above Boquete, we purchased this delightful coffee directly from the farmers at Finca dos Ruedas. This Natural Process coffee is heavily sorted and the whole cherries are fermented in barrels for 125 hours while the temperature is carefully monitored and never allowed to go above 60 degrees. The cherries are then dried slowly with very little direct sun contact for approximately 45 days. Exceptionally sweet with notes of passionfruit, cherry, Pinot Noir and lavender.

This is a traditional washed coffee from Gedeb, Ethiopia, grown by smallholder farmers and processed at the Wuri washing station. The coffee has undergone extensive defect sorting to achieve the mythical designation of Grade Zero. The experimental microlot is fully washed and fermented for 48 hours. Washed again under fresh water, the coffee is dried and treated to extra sorting steps at the dry mill. These steps include multiple passes in the color sorter plus extensive hand sorting to remove any remaining defects. The result is close to perfection. Look for notes of hazelnut, oatmeal raisin cookie, black tea, honey all with a creamy medium body.

Strawberry rhubarb pie, lilac, red currant wine, chocolate covered cherry, exceptionally sweet with a silky smooth body. Oscar and Francisca ChacÃn are third-generation coffee producers. The coffee is more than just in their family heritage, it is in their hearts and souls as well. The couple is committed to quality and innovation, and are among the very first farmers in Costa Rica to produce Honey and Natural process specialty coffee. Since 2018, they've been experimenting with a Honey-style process they are calling Diamond. What makes the Diamonds different is that the drying requires closer attention than the other Honeys, as Oscar and Francisca want the temperature to stay very low throughout. First, the coffee is pre-dried on raised beds for one day, then moved to the drying patio where it is closely monitored for the duration. The Black Diamond takes 15-22 days to dry.

With help from our friends at Catalyst Trade, we've sourced this single farm lot from producer Belayneh Bariso, who lives with his wife and their 4 children in the village of Bombe. On his small farm, red cherries are harvested by hand, a very labor-intensive process that requires over 50 seasonal and day laborers. In Ethiopia, small coffee producers like Belayneh typically deliver their crops to local washing stations, where they're added to other farms' coffee to form larger community lots. This particular coffee was isolated and kept separate from neighboring farms, allowing it to be successfully traced from harvest to your cup.

This naturally processed coffee is selectively harvested and hand sorted at the Wush Wush washing station in Ethiopia's Keffa Zone. Producing natural coffee is relatively new to this washing station. Due to the wet weather, using this method requires careful monitoring and tight process control. The results of their rigorous labor is in the cup.

This fully washed coffee is produced on small holders farms surrounding the village of Wush Wush along the Agama River and is made possible by the hard work of Dinkalem Ademe and his washing station. The coffee delivers a lush ripe fruit acidity and very sweet and soft mouthfeel.

When we started planning our 10-year anniversary several months ago, we had no idea how much our plans would change. We dreamed about throwing an epic party. Tacos and ice cream were discussed. Latte art throwdowns and breakdancing were bandied about. Some suggested fireworks. Clowns were mentioned. We couldn't wait to celebrate with you, our customers, and our hardworking staff. With the rest of the world, we had to pivot. Today we present, Wish You Were Here, a crowd-pleaser of a blend representing both 10 years of Red Rooster and also the sentiments we feel every day as we head in to work to roast coffee and wait for the world to return to some new version of normal. To those drinking our coffee all across the country, and to those ordering from just a few miles away as you try to stay safe, from all of us at Red Rooster, we wish you were here. Like some of the best bands, and Red Rooster itself, this blend has wide appeal with a nod to experimentation. It combines washed and natural processed coffees from Indonesia, Ethiopia, and South America, resulting in notes of chocolate and caramel, with hints of citrus and sweet berry. Thanks for helping us shine on, friends.

We're proud to offer this Red Honey process coffee from producer Felipe Trujillo of Vantola Coffee, a fermentation specialist and exporter from Santa Barbara, Antioquia, Colombia. This lot consists of Yellow Colombia varietals that are picked at precise ripeness and floated for density. The mass is then fermented in a holding tank for 12 hours giving the coffee a notable fruity taste and aroma. The cherries are de-pulped (skin and some flesh removed) and dried on raised sun beds for 2 weeks until they reach 11% moisture, and then kept in grain pro bags an additional two weeks before dry milling. Tasting Notes: Semi-sweet chocolate, honeydew melon and vanilla custard.

Dig unique coffee? Well, this one's for you. Let us introduce you to Fruit Punch Washed. Grown by Jose Giraldo on his farm Finca El Danubio, this coffee consists of Caturra varietal cherries that are picked at peak ripeness then stored in airtight sealed containers until the fermentation process begins. The CO2 released during fermentation aids in macerating the cherry, meaning the bubbling CO2 splits and peels off the cherry skin. Once the desired pH is met, the coffee is pulped and fully washed. Tasting Notes: Dark chocolate, toasted coconut, kiwi, Orangina and lemon meringue.

This coffee comes from a small mill in the Pegasing district of Takengon, in Sumatra's coffee-famous Aceh region. The mill serves several small coffee producers within the Pantan Musara villages; several years ago, these producers were dislocated from their homes and land because of a natural disaster, and they have rebuilt their lives and farms with a new focus on coffee. Unlike the vast majority of other Sumatran coffee receiving and processing centers, this mill is producing Washed coffees, as well as Naturals. Coffee is delivered to the mill by producers in the area, and for Washed coffees, only fresh red cherries can be purchased. The Washed coffees are fermented for 36 hours after being depulped, then washed four times to remove the mucilage. It's then spread into a drying house or on raised tables to dry for 14 days or so.

A Red Rooster exclusive! This Full Natural process coffee is grown by Willington Ultengo at his farm Los Naranjos, in La Argentina, Huila, Colombia. Willington's terroir produces stellar results for natural coffees: High altitude, older variety stock and the farm borders a large nature preserve with old-growth forest and native wildlife crossings. Consisting of Caturra and Colombia varietals, ripe cherries are initially floated in water to select the densest and ripest among them. After this process, the sorted cherries are dried on raised beds for 11-14 days and turned twice a day to provide ample sun. They are then dry milled at 11% moisture. Los Naranjos is only producing a few bags of naturals right now and we are pleased to say that we purchased them all! Learn more about Willington and Los Naranjos below. Tasting Notes: Cherry Jolly Rancher, grape soda, brown and honeycrisp apple.

This coffee is WHOLE BEAN and is packaged in a 10oz bag. This month our very own Grace McCutchan was the featured roaster for May's Matchbook Coffee Project. Every month, they work with a new roaster to produce exciting and highly personal coffees. This month is no different. For this special release she's calling "On the Road", Grace chose a rare, natural processed coffee from Inmaculada Coffee Farms of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. This special and very limited lot is from the legendary coffee variety, Sudan Rume, which originated on the Boma Plateau, in southeastern Sudan near to the Ethiopian border. Scroll down for more information about the farm, varietal and processing. Expect notes of baking spices, raspberry liqueur, dark chocolate, vanilla, and warm honey.

Laurina 260 is one of only a handful of very small lots of this coffee grown in the world. Notable for its long pointy beans and also known as Bourbon Pointu, Laurina appeared in the Reunion Island after a spontaneous mutation of the Bourbon variety.  In 1771 Sieur Leroy discovered that this much loved coffee was actually a mutation from Arabica coffee from Yemen. Tasting notes: Coconut milk, pineapple, papaya and cane sugar. Very sweet.

This fully washed, certified organic coffee comes from the Sidama growing region of Ethiopia. You'll notice right away that this bean is on the small side. Sorted at a screen size of 13, this special prep lot is smaller and denser than most coffee, which is screened at 14 or 15. This petite bean offers an intense perfume like aroma of lavender and jasmine along with sweet notes of pineapple, wildflower honey and apricot. Located in the small farming village of Shantawene, the producers are part of a 667 member strong organization that is spread throughout the Bombe mountains.

This microlot is a Red Rooster exclusive! Owned by lifelong coffee producer, Don Marco Fidel Lopez, Finca Bella Vista is located in the Las Cochitas sub-municipality of Buesaco and covers 2 hectares of land. This lot is washed, with a 36-hour fermentation time before being sun-dried on patios. Granny Smith apple, caramelized grapefruit and balanced honey sweetness. Don Marco is a member of Alianza Cafe, a producers' association in the area that was founded to improve the lives of its members through technical advice in farm management, waste reduction, and environmental protection. Don Marco is happy to be producing coffee and remembers a time when he wasn't able to, due to regional conflict. Up until 10-15 years ago, men were recruited or forced to work on building camps or roads for guerrillas controlling the area. He's been able to return to coffee production and is happy to once again be following his life's passion.

Expect notes of amaretto, raisin and tangerine. Started by Celestin Rumenerangabo, the Gasharu Coffee Company has developed a strong coffee culture and tradition over the past thirty years. Women make up 70% of the company's workforce which includes 6 full time locals and upwards of 150 part-time workers during peak season. Leading up to the Tutsi Genocide in 1994, Gasharu was seeing tremendous growth and much success. After 4 difficult years, Celestin and his family were able to resume business and have worked hard ever since to rebuild their lives. Gasharu Coffee Co. operates two washing stations, Meuhororo and Gasharu. The Gasharu Washing Station is managed by Celestinâ's wife, Gorrette Mukamurenzyi, and includes six fermentation tanks and 100 raised drying beds. Producers from twelve main coffee village farms bring their cherries to the Gasharu Washing Station.

This coffee is produced by Dofan Wilian Patilla, a farmer with 25 years of experience in the community of Corimayo. His farm, Quillipata, is nestled in the Yanatile Valley in the Department of Cusco in the south of Peru.

Jose Luis and Rosario, owners of Finca El Taiwan, have an incredibly floral crop that's grown at some of the highest altitudes in Jinotega, Nicaragua. This washed, enzymatic microlot is mellow and balanced, with notes of Bartlett pear, almond, and honey. We sourced this coffee through Gold Mountain Coffee Growers. Year after year, they are pioneering technologies and methods to reach new levels of consistently-high cup qualities. Using tools such as <span>sugar-measuring refractometers and red-wine-colored wristbands, their partner producers can more easily identity coffee cherries that are at the optimum ripeness level for sweet, complex cupping results.

This fully washed coffee is grown on the eastern slopes of Aberdares mountain ranges in Nyeri County, Kenya by the family owned farms of the Othaya Farmers Co-operative Society Limited (FCS). Established in 1956, FCS has more than 14,000 members who generally have half acre plots averaging 250 coffee trees. Sweet, clean and complex with fruity notes of watermelon and peach, along with dark chocolate.

This fully washed coffee comes from the Ibonia Estate and consists </span><span>entirely of peaberries. This natural mutation occurs when only one of the two beans inside the fruit or "cherry" is fertilized, allowing it more space to grow and develop an oval shape, rather than the usual pair of flat-sided beans. Peaberries are known for their sweetness, complexity and bright acidity. This coffee is no exception. Look for notes of molasses, roma tomato, holy basil, lemon lime and peach. The producers at Ibonia Estate know the importance of preserving the rich ecosystem and indigenous species. Species in the area include snakes, deer, hare, weaver birds, owls and hawks among others.

In the year 2000, 62 Honduran coffee farmers joined together with a common goal to transform their farms from conventional to organic production and formed COMSA (Cafe Organico Marcala, S.A). In 2001, fostered by a foundation called Funder, COMSA earned their organic certification from Bio Latina which has enabled them to market their coffee to more international buyers and realize better selling prices for their coffee. In February 2006, COMSA then applied for and was granted Fair Trade certification status. COMSA uses the Fair Trade price premium to fund many social projects including paying teachers' salaries and purchasing school supplies. Roasted dark, this coffee is sweet and syrupy with notes of rich chocolate and creamy hazelnut. A clean and balanced cup.

This washed coffee is sourced from family owned farms organized around the Edido Cooperative, which was established in 1975 and currently has 1,247 members. In 2002, they joined Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU) which counts over 45,000 farmer members and 24 different cooperatives. Ripe pineapple, sweetly floral, clean and bright acidity. The members of each primary cooperative elect their own executive committee, which makes decisions about investments like new equipment and tree maintenance, and how to structure payments to the coop members. YCFCU also appoints professional managers for each primary cooperative to oversee harvest and processing procedures.

Citrus, jasmine, blueberry crumble, cacao nibs, mellow and smooth. This Dur Feres or "Wild Horse" is a blend of green coffees from several washing stations already famed for their quality - including Bombe, Qonqona, Shantawene, and Damo. This is a true community coffee, built with multiple partners, and created to support farmers and taste great at the same time.

This lovely washed coffee was processed at the Dimtu washing station, located in the Hambela Wamena district in the Guji Zone of Ethiopia. Owned by Aklilu Kassa and operated by his son Biniyam Aklilu, this relatively new washing station sits on two hectares of land and is surrounded by rich Guji forests. Because coffee flourishes as a wild crop, local small holder farmers pick coffee from their backyards with the help of family members before delivering ripe cherries to Dimtu. This coffee has incredible complexity with notes of honeysuckle, Earl Grey, lavender honey, champagne, ginger ale and watermelon candy.

Arsosala is a washing station founded in 2015 that currently serves about 1,200 smallholder producers in the Urga woreda of Guji. Cherries are picked ripe and dried on raised beds, taking anywhere from 8-20 days, depending on the amount of sunshine available. Sweet ripe raspberry, chocolate, juicy red grape, floral. According to the washing station manager, most of the coffee delivered to the factory is Bourbon: While Typica and Bourbon are two varieties better-known in Central and South America, the same terms are used colloquially in Ethiopia to describe certain coffee-berry-disease-resistant cultivars. The Ethiopian "Bourbon" and "Typica" varieties are typically genetically removed from the ones found elsewhere around the world.

Damson plum, peach ice cream, almond cake, medium body. This direct trade offering comes to us from Finca Las Nubes, which is located in the Metapan Alotepec Mountain Range in El Salvador. The farm sits on approximately 25 acres and cultivates three varieties of Arabica coffee, including Pacas, Bourbon and Pacamara. Tierra Bendita, which operates Finca Las Nubes, is a small family business dedicated to agriculture in Western El Salvador. Its focus is to work with nature to improve the soil using microorganisms, compost and natural fertilizers. These agroecological farming practices yield healthy sustainable harvests in the production of coffee, cocoa, honey, plantains, and other basic grains commodities. It began operations in 1998 with sugar cane in the western coastal zone in Ahuachapan, moving in recent years towards crop diversification through agroforestry programs and initiatives aimed at recovering lost forests in the coastal zone.

Fresh fig, raisin, red apple, creamy body. Las Margaritas is a small farm worked by Mrs. Zoila Pineda a retired school teacher and local artisan craft painter who enjoys traditional planting and harvesting methods for the varietals grown at the farm. Her awards include national Cup of Excellence Award (2019), and finalist at 2019 Trifinio event which includes top participant producers from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

This direct trade offering comes to us from Enrique Mena Gutierrez, owner of Finca Las Duanas. Located in the Alotepeca Metapan mountain range, the farm cultivates Pacamara, also referred to as variety due to its dramatically larger size. Mr. Gutierrez has earned two consecutive 1st place awards in 2018 and 2019 at Trifinioa Competition which gathers best of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador’s trinational coffee regions. As part of BioKrop Project, Las Duanas receives technical assistance, tech transfer, organic foliars for maintaining healthy plants and assistance prior and post-harvest to improve and innovate fermentation and drying processes. Sweetly savory with a light body and lively acidity. Floral aroma with notes of dark chocolate, almond and key lime pie.

This distinctively sweet coffee is produced by the Inga indigenous community in the town of Aponte, Colombia. In the late 14th century this community belonged to the northernmost part of the Inca empire. Geological shifting caused by the fault line where the town rests has caused damage to many of the houses. Specialty coffee production in the area offers some relief by providing a higher and more consistent income for residents. Grown between 1900-2200 meters, this honey process coffee is dried on patio and solar dried machines and has notes of cherry, watermelon, strawberry, and candied orange, with a honey sweetness.

Coffee like this only comes around once in a pink moon. In our Day 8 offering, the rare Pink Bourbon genetic mutation is processed in a unique fashion by Cafe 1959 and producer Jose Giraldo. The cherries are picked ripe and then put in sealed containers for 100 hours to promote carbonic maceration (the skins are split open by the fermentation process.) After 100 hours, the cherries are laid on raised beds for 5 days, much like a traditional natural/dry process. Then, in a bit of coffee processing wizardry, the cherries are rehydrated for 24 hours, then pulped and dried as a honey process. Incredibly sweet and floral with baking spices, especially cinnamon.

The Altieri family has garnered something of a cult following for their exquisite Geisha Varietal coffees and we're so excited to offer a small lot of incredible quality. This Natural Processed Geisha (or Gesha) is dried in the Fruit and was cupped at origin at 90+ points on the Q Grader scale (not to be confused with the 100 point Coffee Review scoring. Any coffee scoring 90 or above on the Q scale is in the top 1% of green coffee quality and is considered by the Specialty Coffee Association to be of "Outstanding" quality.) Cultivated at 1800 MASL at Callejan Seco farm on the eastern slope of the Baru Volcano. Picked by experienced hands that select only the ripest cherries, which are then dried on raised beds for 21-25 days. Caramel candy, creamy, sweet, clean, floral, blueberries, jasmine, lemongrass, orange, green tea, fruity &amp; aromatic.

This special and very limited lot is from the legendary coffee variety, Sudan Rume, which originated on the Boma Plateau, in southeastern Sudan near the Ethiopian border. You may remember that we roasted another small lot of this coffee for MatchBook Coffee Project earlier in the year. Since that coffee sold-out so quickly, we figured we'd offer another lot for the holidays. Scroll down for more information about the farm, varietal, and processing. Effervescent with hints of raspberry and strawberry, but not bright, almost bordering on juniper berry.

This microlot of natural processed or "fruit dried" coffee from Finca Guayabales and producer Pedro Villatoro Castillo showcases excellent acidity, a rich hard candy sweetness, and bright fruity through-line. Pedro uses aggressive pruning methods making his yields streamlined, but the profiles consistently standout year to year. Shade is provided partially from the trees, partially from the steep cut of the land itself, the aspect and slope providing cover during the early morning and often fog in the afternoon, slowing growth and developing sugars.

Roasted to the darker side of medium, this versatile blend pulls double duty as a great option for both espresso and filter coffee. When enjoyed as espresso, look for notes of milk chocolate, shortbread, salted lime, and ripe pomegranate with an orange blossom aroma. When brewed as drip coffee, the cup is soft, mellow, silky, and sweet with warm chocolate aromatics and notes of dark chocolate, raspberry, and pistachio.

This lot was secured through Fatoum Muslot, who took over the family coffee business started by her father back in the 1950s. The coffee is hauled up remarkably steep slopes, carried in small amounts, most often by donkey. All the coffee here is grown on terraces, since little land exists that is flat, except for the lowland deserts. Expect a rich aroma of baking spices, raisin, cooked sugar. Tastes like dried apricot, brown sugar, clove, all spice, dark cocoa.

Ibutiti Estate is a private farm owned by the Murathe family, located in the Kiria-ini area of Murang'a County. The Murathe's have roughly 40 hectares of coffee planted, mostly SL bourbon types. This 92 point stunner is the AA screen size and packs a huge flavor punch. Apricot, peach, cardamom, grapefruit, cherry and watermelon with a silky creamy body.

Our FTO Peru Sol Y Cafe is roasted to a generous medium roast to bring out the caramel and butterscotch notes. This coffee has lots of body, sweet cherry notes, and a nice citrus acidity. It's a crowd pleaser for sure! The cooperative is made up of about 1,000 families and the FTO premiums are used to develop health and education resources for the producers.

This organic coffee comes from five small farms owned by the Castillo family in the municipality of Jinotega. Juan de Dios and his wife Miriam Aruaz began buying the land to form the Paraiso farms in the 1980's with money earned from their tailor shop, which is still in operation today. Sweet black cherry, dark cocoa, clean finish. Much of the coffee business has been passed on to Juan and Miriam's five children who formed J&amp;M Family Coffee (for Juan and for Miriam) to export high quality coffee without compromising the environment. Family Coffee operates their own wet and dry mill, which gives them full control of processing the coffee.

Gitutu is one of four factories operated by the Aguthi Farmers Cooperative Society, and is located in a highly productive growing area that is bordered by Mt. Kenya in the west and the Abadare Ranges to the east. Expect cantaloupe, golden raisin, and golden delicious apple.

This washed process organic coffee is sourced from the Zenebe Simbret Washing Station, which is located in the remote village of Tulu Gola. Accessible only during the dry season, the mill is owned and operated by Zenebe Genale, a hard working Sidama man who employs over 200 full time and seasonal workers. Producers supplying coffee to the washing station are directly paid a guaranteed minimum price plus a premium for high quality cherries. Honeysuckle and rose aroma, sweet ripe plum, fresh apricot with pomegranate acidity.

The Koke washing Station is located in the Gedeo zone of Yirgacheffe. Approximately 96 small holder producers deliver cherry to Koke many of whom are multi-generational farming families. They process washed, honey and natural lots and look forward to growing their capacity to continue providing high end specialty coffees. It is a family owned washing station which was built in 2011 and has since made numerous renovations to continue offering top quality coffees. Raspberry aroma, tastes like oranges, honeydew melon and key lime pie.

This naturally processed coffee is from the Gelena and Abaya districts of Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. This washing station is made up of 650 smallholder farmers who share approximately 3,500 acres of land. We think this coffee tastes like peaches and cream, dried blueberries and raspberry jam. After picking, cherries are placed on drying beds where they'll sit in the sun for the next 18-21 days. During the daytime, cherries are raked periodically to ensure consistent drying and they also need protection from the sun during the hottest hours of the day (12pm- 3pm). Beds are covered throughout the afternoon and again at night to protect them from the cool evening moisture.

Hacienda La Papaya is the farm and estate owned and operated by Juan Pena, who is perhaps Ecuador's most famous emerging specialty-coffee farmer. Juan grows several varieties on his land and is actively engaged with new processing experiments. Pineapple sweetness, raspberry acidity, coconut Milk, medium body. Juan is a multi generation farmer, but he's relatively new to coffee: A former long-stem-rose producer, he started experimenting with coffee plants in about 2010, after disastrous weather wiped out his flower fields. Turning his energy entirely to coffee, he has worked to develop as healthy, hardy, and horticulturally intentional a farm as possible, with a very well-nurtured plant nursery. His farming is meticulous, scientific, curious, and giving: He provides neighbors and farm workers space in his nursery, along with seedlings, so that they can develop plots of their own.

This natural process Costa Rican microlot is produced by the Chacon family at Cumbres Del Poas and is then transported for processing at the Las Lajas micro mill, considered one of the best in Central America. Expect vanilla wafer aroma, dark ripe cherry sweetness and pomegranate acidity.

Our Colombia Microlot series continues with a delicious coffee from producer Edmundo Chasoy. This coffee is processed using the honey method, where the sugary layer surrounding the seed, called mucilage, is left intact and allowed to dry. Because of its sticky texture and golden amber color, coffee producers began to refer to this method as the "honey process". Expect dark chocolate and pomegranate in the aroma along with sweet dried cherry, walnut and dark chocolate in the taste.

The next coffee in our Colombia Microlot series comes from Rodrigo Peláez, a producer with almost 2 decades of coffee farming experience. Located in Neira,Caldas, this coffee is grown within the Colombian Coffee Axis (El Eje Cafetero), an area considered by many to be the best coffee in the world. Expect flavors of ripe blackberry, sweet pepper jelly with a creamy body.

Our Colombia Microlot series continues with a wonderful coffee from producer Marco Aurelio Lasso. Marco is one of 6 brothers, who collectively inherited Finca El Trapiche, known as one of the most traditional farms in northern Narino. Expect plum and caramel apple sweetness along with white grape acidity.

Give your coffee farmer a goat! Through a partnership with Greenco and the Kahawatu Foundation, your purchase of Burundi Yandaro will provide goats and agriculture training to members of the Kayanza washing stations. Not only do these goats give nourishment to farming families, but they also provide potential off-season income. This fully washed coffee was grown by small holder producers at the Yandaro washing station in northern Burundi. Tasting notes include orange juice, cinnamon and mulled red wine.

It's that time of the year again! Valentine's Day is approaching and we have a delicious blend to mark the occasion. Our Sweethearts Blend is a balanced and flavorful combination of coffees from the Americas and Africa. Tasting notes include sweet berry, almond, citrus and milk chocolate.

Finca Rio Cofre was purchased by a Norwegian immigrant to Colombia in 1965. After laying dormant for many years, his son, Axel Tveten, an agronomical engineer and avid outdoorsman, saw the untapped potential of this fertile land. Coffee is one of the few crops that can be grown in a way that protects local flora and fauna while also generating income for job creation. Rio Cofre sits on just over 30 acres and now employs 4 full-time workers, which is unheard of for a farm of this size. This microlot delivers a creamy, round body with nutty-dark chocolate flavor, sweet pineapple acidity and a blackberry and jasmine aroma. Scroll down for more info about the farm and bag design.

This offering is produced by Jose Herrera from his farm, El Ciprez. Located in Hubal, Peru, the farm is named for the cypress trees that abound on the property. El Ciprez also grows sugar cane and banana trees which help provide biodiversity and shade coverage for the coffee. Expect a creamy body with cantaloupe sweetness, raspberry acidity and coconut aroma. Northern Peru is legendary for producing coffee with bright, rich flavors. At some of the highest global growing elevations, the “Amazon Andes” yield some of the best developed flavor profiles in the world.

Directly imported from Gold Mountain Coffee in Nicaragua, this nanolot consists of the rare Pacamara varietal which is famed for its large sized bean and the savory, yet sweet flavors held within. Intense, face-melting sweetness and candy-like fruitiness in both aroma and taste. Concord grape, red plum, fresh fig, and Ranier cherry with red grapefruit acidity. Produced as a collaborative effort between farming families in the Jinotega region of northern Nicaragua, this coffee gets its name from the "Brix" scale that measures sugar content of a liquid. Coffee farmers Don Manual and Juan Carlos harvested from the few Pacamara trees on each of their farms then processed them together in the natural, or dry method, to create this delicious and sugar saturated cup.

Blended at origin with the most floral lots of Gesha available, La Tacita Floral, "the floral cup", is an aptly titled blend with perfume-like aroma. Meyer lemon and cranberry-sauce acidity, sweet dark chocolate and perfume-like florals of jasmine, lily and rose water.

We're loving this juicy and tart coffee from the Boma estate. Tasting notes include ruby red grapefruit, pink lady apple, key lime and dark chocolate.

This coffee is sourced from family-owned farms organized around the Ndiaini Factory (wet mill) in Nyeri County, Kenya. The wet mill processes coffee from members who generally cultivate approximately 250 coffee trees on half-acre plots.Tasting notes include Rosehips, Meyer Lemon and Sencha Green Tea.

Finca is a small seven acre farm in the Chinacla area of La Paz and is owned by Nancy Hernandez Contreras. She got her start in coffee at the ripe age of 8 years old, working next to her father picking ripe cherries. It was there that Nancy learned that hard work and discipline are the keys to producing excellent coffee. Her passion and dedication to her craft are evident from seed to cup and we're so proud to offer her coffee! Tasting notes: A sparkling, almost effervescent cup with notes of sweet white grape, butterscotch and cantaloupe.

The Layo Taraga Washing Station serves 500 smallholder farms, each of whom owns about 2.5 acres of land in the Uraga district. This Special Prep lot has gone through an intensive process of hand sorting to insure that only the ripest cherries make it to your cup.
