Tasting Profile

Light

A bright light roast with vibrant fresh fruit and citrus flavors creating a lively, energetic cup. The Ethiopian beans drive the fruit-forward character while the Mexican and Brazilian components provide a balanced center, resulting in a light-bodied coffee with exceptional complexity and brightness.

Altitude & Processing

900-2,100 MASL (meters above sea level)

This light roast blend combines naturally processed Ethiopian beans (1,850-2,100m) for juicy fruit characteristics, Mexican beans (1,300-1,750m) washed for clean structure and balance, and Brazilian beans (900-1,400m) using pulped natural processing for body and sweetness. The varied processing methods preserve the delicate origin characteristics while creating a complex, layered cup with exceptional brightness and nuanced flavors.

Blend Composition

Ethiopian Heirloom Varietals, Bourbon, Typica, Catuaí, Catucaí, Mundo Novo

This blend features Ethiopian heirloom varietals prized for their bright floral and tea-like qualities, Mexican Bourbon and Typica for clean sweetness and balanced acidity, and Brazilian Catuaí, Catucaí, and Mundo Novo for body and chocolate foundation. The Ethiopian heirlooms drive the exceptional brightness and complexity, while the Mexican varietals provide structural elegance, and the Brazilian cultivars contribute the rich body and nutty-chocolate base that grounds this light roast blend.

Origin & Region

Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil

This blend sources from Ethiopian smallholder farms in Guji's high-altitude growing areas where traditional intercropping methods are practiced, Mexican cooperatives in Chiapas emphasizing environmental stewardship, and Brazilian estates in Cerrado with their systematic cultivation approaches. These three origins represent diverse farming traditions from established coffee-producing regions.

Eric Gore

I thoroughly enjoyed this coffee. It is not often that you find such a unique light roast. This coffee works well as an espresso shot on its own and as a milk drink. I would highly recommend it. I can't wait to order my next bag.
