This signature espresso was developed in our roastery and is the same as we use in our cafe. Carefully blended to achieve a unique flavor profile. Normally when we here the term "espresso roast", there is a tendency to think "dark and oily beans". The beans used in this blend are Central and South American and are chosen from specific growing altitudes so that when medium roasted, the cup is not bitter, rather it is sweet. Best roasted to City ++ (before 2nd crack). For those that do like dark roasts, it works fine however you might want to consider our Gold Nugget Espresso, which is designed with beans that hold up well to Full City roasts, or well into 2nd crack, while maintaining full body.

This is a Mountain Water Processed decaf in which no chemical solvents were used in the decaffeinated process. The bean roast very evenly and retain the distinctiveness of non-decaf Colombians. Vibrant and pleasing to the taste.
An excellent choice for all brewing methods, including espresso. For wonderful experience, Try some in a double or even triple shot cappuccino or latte.
Cupping Notes: Caramel aroma and flavor, silky smooth and more fruity ness than one would expect from a decaf beans, in which a lot of acidity tends to become muted as a function of the decaffeination process. Well-rounded body,balanced, and uniform.
Roasting Notes: These beans roast nicely and can be roasted darker than most decaffeinated beans before they exhibit oily ness on the bean exterior. They are very easy to roast.
Please note: These are Un-Roasted coffee beans that need to be roasted before brewing. Decaffeinated beans look dark and have been known to trick people into grinding and brewing them without roasting them (seriously)!

La Minita is perhaps the best known of all the coffees from the Tarrazu growing region. It has received considerable press exposure and public acclaim.
Simply put, this coffee is terrific and thoroughly enjoyable. La Minita prides itself on being amongst the most meticulously grown and prepared coffees in the world. The La Minita plantation lies on 700 acres in the steeply graded, mountainous Tarrazu region with elevations between 4,000 to 7,000 feet. The estate farm produces several qualities of coffee but their signature coffee, La Minita Tarrazu, has very limited production; approximately 1700 bags per year . The attention to detail is extreme, beginning with what can be described as ordinary gardening techniques, but on a large scale, as all the work is done by hand.
Cupping notes: Intense dry aroma, bright acidity, grapefruit, exceptionally clean cup and very well balanced. Full body. Fruitiness turns to smooth vanilla as it cools. Well balanced, Pleasant lingering aftertaste. Elegant.
Roasting Note: City to City++. Roast this coffee lighter than normal. If you roast to the same temperature (assuming you have a bean temperature probe) as you would for most other bean's typical temperature, the beans will appear very dark. They really like to be roasted lightly, which produces the best flavors and aromatics this coffee has to offer. Roasting a little darker produces dark chocolaty notes, but the brightness diminishes .

"Batak" is term used to identify groups, or tribes, predominately found in Northern Sumatra. "Mutu" is a short name of one of these groups that grows coffee near Mt. Kelimutu, hence, "Mutu Batak". The coffee from here is excellent and is similar in characteristics to "Blue Batak". Both are clean tasting for Sumatrans. One could say the two coffees are indistinguishable except for normal differences that can occur from lot to lot, and season to season. Cupping Notes: Silky dry fragrance, becoming intense during the wet break. very clean cup, low acidity, malt, cherry pipe tobacco, coco, sweet lingering aftertaste. Well processed coffee with few brokens. Roasting Notes: Medium to dark roast. Low amount of quakers compared to a lot of other Sumatrans, so it roasts relatively even for coffee from this region.

From .the Reis Brothers' Farm, this is an impressive, beautiful coffee farm and their spirit in farming is infectious. They have been producing some of Carmo de Minas' best coffee for years and their is nothing like a farmers pride! And they have a brick factory on their property going way back. And cows, naturally.This is a microlot coffee with a limited number of bags produced.
Cupping Notes: Medium intense dry aroma. Breaking the crust reminds us of being inside a chocolate shop. Pine nuts. Apricot, cocoa, fine malt. Mild acidity. Clean cup. The lingering pleasant cocoa aftertaste is a strong hint that this coffee will work well in an espresso.
Roasting Notes: Natural processed beans, so they don't appear to be anything special in their green form. However once roasted they morph into a beautiful uniform color. The coffee is clean - no brokens, foreign matter, quakers, etc. It is truly a specialty grade coffee.

This tasty Supremo comes to us in Grain-pro lined jute bags to help preserve moisture content and prevent contamination of the beans. It is a co-op coffee with not many defects. It roasts up nicely and is what one would expect from an all-around nice Colombian coffee.
Cupping Notes: Moderate-to-Intense dry aroma; becoming less intense during wet and break. Ripe citrus top notes, medium body. At a light roast grains such as rice or wheat are noticed (typical for a Colombian coffee). Malty at a darker roast. Pleasant sweet finish as the cup cools.
Roasting Notes: Being a fairly hard and dense bean, this coffee holds up well to darker roasts. Roast it no lighter than City+. Medium roast seems to bring out the best characteristics including aroma and body.
