Origin & process
This carefully crafted blend combines premium Latin American and East African coffees, featuring both wet (washed) and honey-processed beans grown at 1,200–1,600 meters. The wet process brings clarity and brightness, while honey processing adds sweetness and body. All beans are sun-dried on patios or raised beds for optimal flavor development.
Brew guide
Drip/Pourover recipe: For optimal extraction, use 25g coffee to 400g water, bloom for 30 seconds with 50g water, then complete your pour by 2:30 to 3:00 for balanced sweetness and clarity.
Espresso: Pull at 1:2 ratio (18g in, 36g out) in 28–33 seconds for intensely aromatic shots with tangy dark chocolate and citrus bite—exceptional as a base for milk drinks.
Freshness & storage
We air roast your coffee to order for unparalleled freshness. Allow 24–72 hours for CO₂ degassing after roasting, then enjoy at peak flavor between days 3–14. Store in an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture. For storage beyond two weeks, keep sealed bags in the freezer and thaw completely before opening.

FAQs
What does House Blend taste like?
House Blend offers a beautifully balanced cup with rich bittersweet chocolate as the foundation, bright citrus notes for liveliness, and raw sugar sweetness throughout. You'll discover subtle fruit and warm spice notes wrapped in a smooth, syrupy body with a satiny mouthfeel that makes every sip satisfying.
Is House Blend better for espresso or drip?
That's the beauty of this blend—it truly excels at both! As drip coffee, it's bright and lively with clear chocolate and citrus notes. As espresso, it transforms into an intensely aromatic shot with concentrated tangy dark chocolate and a lingering bittersweet finish. Many customers keep it on hand because it adapts perfectly to any brewing mood.
How fresh is my order?
We air roast your coffee the same day we ship it. Your beans arrive within 2–3 days of roasting, perfectly timed for peak flavor. The roast date is printed on every bag, and we recommend letting the coffee rest 24–72 hours before brewing for optimal taste.
What grind should I choose?
Choose Whole Bean if you have a burr grinder—you'll get maximum freshness and can dial in your perfect grind. Select Drip Grind for auto-drip machines, pour-overs, or standard coffee makers. Pick Espresso Grind for home espresso machines, though you may need slight adjustments based on your specific machine.
Is this coffee ethically sourced?
Yes, we're committed to farm-gate purchasing that ensures farmers receive fair compensation. Our Latin American and East African partners use sustainable growing practices with wet and honey processing methods. We work with reputable suppliers who maintain direct relationships with coffee-growing communities.
How should I store my beans?
Keep your coffee in an airtight container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Avoid the fridge—temperature fluctuations cause condensation. For storage beyond two weeks, seal the original bag tightly and freeze it, then thaw completely before opening to preserve peak freshness.
Why air roasting instead of traditional drum roasting?
Air roasting uses fluid bed technology that suspends beans in hot air, creating incredibly even roasting with zero scorching. This clean method highlights natural flavors, eliminates burnt notes, and produces a remarkably smooth cup. The result is exceptional clarity that lets the true character of our premium Bourbon, Caturra, and Typica beans shine through.
