Blends

  • Banner: Proclamation
  • Blend: 75% Brazil Serra Negra, 25% Ethiopia Limu
  • Process: Natural and Washed
  • Roast: Medium
  • Flavor notes: Pecan, lemon, molasses 
  • Roaster notes: Proclamation is our flagship blend, an easy-drinking coffee that bridges the gap between bright, acidic light roasts and robust, nutty darker roasts. I call this one our "breakfast blend" -- it's smooth and approachable, and it pairs wonderfully with any meal.

 

  • Banner: Signalman
  • Blend: 75% Colombia Cauca, 25% Ethiopia Limu
  • Process: Washed
  • Roast: Dark
  • Flavor notes: Caramel, toffee, woodsmoke
  • Roaster notes: My goal with Signalman was to create a dark roast for people who love dark roasts and for people who don't typically go darker than medium. The Colombia takes heat really well, which gives the bean a woodsmoke flavor rather than a typical "burned" char. The Ethiopia serves to brighten up the baseline roast a bit and add a bit of citrus and just a touch of acidity.

  • Banner: Crossover Cold Brew Blend
  • Blend: 50% Guatemala Huehuetenango, 50% Ethiopia Limu
  • Process: Washed
  • Roast: Medium-dark
  • Flavor notes: Bittersweet chocolate, lime
  • Roaster notes: We recommend a 1:8 ratio of coffee to water, which makes a wonderful concentrate after 18 hours! After that, cut the concentrate however you'd like. Try starting with a 1:1 concentrate-to-water ratio and see what you think!
