Coffee bean selection is based on knowledge and a seasoned palate. Harvesting, sorting, processing, altitude, climate, geography, season; each plays a part in determining the quality of coffee. In selecting a coffee from a country, we cup dozens of coffees from specific estates for their richness and flavor. We primarily roast estate grown coffee, because plantation or estate farmers have a passion that we follow to the cup. These coffees are grown without the use of pesticides and are cultivated and cared for by hand so that each crop represents the very best of its kind.

Because of our exacting standards, we won't always have the large selection of varietals that you may see other places. We would rather recommend a different coffee to a customer instead of supplying them with a coffee that we know is inferior. If you don't see a coffee you are looking for, let us know. We may be able to suggest an alternative or let you know when we will be able to get it.

Please Note: Unlike many other vendors all of our pricing is based on 16 oz. (one full pound) of product.

We now offer 8oz. packaging.

Colombia Three Sisters Grown above 5,600 ft, this coffee is a special selection of the best coffee produced by over three hundred small coffee growers from the municipality of Tambo, Cajibio and Santander in the Department of Cauca. Its character truly reflects the Andean profile: sweet, fruity, balanced, with a bright acidity and hints of flowers.

Costa Rica El Indio El Indio is a profoundly balanced cup, with a slightly winey character that typifies Tarrazu from the central Tarrazu Valley area. The brightness has a ripe, mature lemon quality, not what I would normally call a citrus acidity (such as some Kenyas). (Have you ever had a lemon that ripens on the tree to the point it becomes quite sweet?) It has moderate milk chocolate and hazelnut in the cup, offset with sweetness that intensifies in the finish - what a great finish this cup has! The body is medium, and has a silky mouthfeel. The aftertaste is chocolate-caramel, clean and mild.

La Minita Costa Rican Can a coffee be this perfect? Milder in acidity compared to some other Costa Rican coffees from the Tarrazú region. This coffee has a refined sweetness and balance in the cup. It's a very mild, bright coffee, with some spice, hints of cinnamon and anise, and with our lighter roasts an almondy roast taste with vanilla hints. The aromatics are sweet and clean. It's always an elegant, refined, clean cup.

The farm itself is a model of perfection in terms of technical standards and beauty. The coffee is milled and prepared meticulously and is not brokered by an indifferent third party, but by Hacienda La Minita themselves. It's also a model for how quality can sustain super-premium prices in a very unstable coffee market. The La Minita model is so successful that they begin to apply the same exacting standards to other coffees, and yielding premium prices.

Guatemala Huehuetenango This is an elegant cup: The fragrance very sweet! It is floral and fruited shifting to a mildly chocolate aromatic base with sugar cane sweetness. Cup flavors are very mild and the aftertaste is rather lingering, the appeal of this cup is its fine aromatics, and delicate, clean personality. The body is light but has a creamy texture. This is the classic, clean, Central American cup, refined, fragile, and seductive. Don't expect flavors to leap out, rather, this is a coffee you can savor.

Extra Fancy Kona Quite possibly the BMW of coffees, Kona has a mystique and romance associated with it that is sometimes undeserved. As the demand for this coffee grew, the prices went up and the quality went down. After much cupping, we have decided on the 100% Royal. Grown on the dark, volcanic rock slopes of Mauna Loa by Captain Cook Coffee, this coffee is deliciously rich, medium bodied, and slightly acidic with a heady aroma and a complex, winy, spicy taste.

Zimbabwe AA+ The best estate Zimbabwe coffees are prized for their balance in the cup. A really good Zimbabwe has moderate acidity, rich flavors, good body and aftertaste. This Salimba coffee, graded for bean size at AA+, and with all the good character expected of this origin. The aroma is both sweet and sharp, with a hint of the East African "wild" note in the coffee.

Excellent complexity/depth and a unique origin flavors that shift greatly depending on roast... Very much an East African cup profile...
