Origin Coffees-

Bali Kintamani   (Roast Level=Full City Plus [Dark]) – Our master roaster’s tasting notes for this dark roasted coffee describe it as having ” a sweet aroma, with cedar,  spicebox and chocolate malt. The chocolate carries into the cup and is balanced by lovely toasted notes. It displays a tongue-coating body, lingering on the finish with a very light, mild fruit acidity developing as the cup cools.”   The beans are grown on the island of Bali (part of Indonesia)  by multiple village co-ops consisting of small farmers in the Kintamani Highlands at an altitude of 1200 to 1600 meters.  The processing method involves washing, pulping and fermentation and then drying.

Brazil Fazenda Sitio Prada (Roast Level=Full City  [Dark]) – This coffee is grown on the Sitio Prado Farm in the Sul De Minas Region of the country of Brazil.  The grower uses a natural processing method and the tasting notes describe the coffee as a “very clean, round coffee, especially for a full natural. It is a low acidity coffee with a pleasant, medium body. There are lots of mellow toasted notes complimenting a pronounced nuttiness with a clean finish and a hint of sweetness with no bitterness.”

Flores Bajawa Ngura   (Roast Level = Full City Plus [Dark]) – This coffee is grown off the coast of Sumatra on the island of Flores by twelve partnering co-ops near Bajawa. The harvested cherry beans are semi-washed,  sun-dried in parchment to 40-50% moisture and then wet-hulled (parchment is removed).  Finally, the beans are then sun-dried. While this coffee is grown organically, we are not yet certified as an organic roaster.  Our master roaster describes the coffee having  “sweet and roasty aromas, with licorice and cedar, reminiscent of campfires. Nice roast notes in the cup, smooth and pleasant, showing good depth. A hint of balancing acidity gives way to a lingering finish.

Peru Chanchamayo la Florida (Roast Level=Full City Plus [French) - It is a rare coffee that holds up well to a french roast, but this one certainly does.  Grown in the Chanchamayo area of Peru by the "Cooperativa Agraria Cafetalera la Florida",  the coffee beans are washed with patio drying. This is a Fair Trade certified coffee.  The master roaster's cupping notes reference  "sweet and roasty on the dry aroma, with milk chocolate and toasted vanilla. Water brings out more bittersweet chocolate and a hint of citrus.  A solid dark roast in the cup, showing more bittersweet chocolate...surprising body, but still a smooth, clean finish."

Costa Rica Helzar de Zarcero   (Roast Level= Full City [Medium])- Described by our master roaster as “a perfect coffee to enjoy daily,” we currently use this coffee as our house roast at River Road. It is grown in the West Valley Region (Naranjo, Llano Bonito) of Costa Rica by the Helsar de Zarcero processing mill and is a “washed” coffee. The tasting notes include “an immediate sweetness, set off by a honey-like acidity…and balanced by delicate roast notes. This coffee shows a beautiful butter-like body with subtle caramel notes. Overall, a nice round, clean coffee.”

Ethiopia Konga Yirgacheffe (Roast Level= City [Light]) – This product is Fair Trade Certified and is grown in the Yirgacheffe Region of Ethiopia… a country widely considered as the birth-place of coffee. Growers belong to the Konga Cooperative and the coffee is processed with a wash method. Cupping notes compiled by our roaster describe the coffee as “an exercise in candied citrus. Abundant lemon notes are balanced by a pleasant vanilla and honey sweetness. The coffee shows a muscular, but restrained acidity, which fades into a perfect finish. Truly a fine example of a classic yirgacheffe.”

Congo Kivu (Roast Level=City [Light]) – This coffee originates from multiple small farms in the Kivu Region of the eastern area of the Congo.  It is a washed coffee and tasting notes describe it as having a “sweet apple and apricot aroma, with an almost chantrelle-like scent. Very clean in the cup, with a nice green apple/grapefruit acidity. A surprising body leaves you with a very pleasant aftertaste…reminiscent of a rustic Kenya.”  Due to political turmoil, it’s very difficult to trace Congo coffees to specific farms or even processing stations.   We hopw in the future to learn more about these coffees, and decided to contribute in a small way to the Congo Coffee Industry by bring this coffee to you.

Flores Bajawa Ngura (Roast Level = Full City Plus [Dark]) – This coffee is grown off the coast of Sumatra on the island of Flores by twelve partnering co-ops near Bajawa. The harvested cherry beans are semi-washed,  sun-dried in parchment to 40-50% moisture and then wet-hulled (parchment is removed).  Finally, the beans are then sun-dried. While this coffee is grown organically, we are not yet certified as an organic roaster.  Our master roaster describes the coffee having  “sweet and roasty aromas, with licorice and cedar, reminiscent of campfires. Nice roast notes in the cup, smooth and pleasant, showing good depth. A hint of balancing acidity gives way to a lingering finish.
