$2.00Colombia La Mina Caturra SS Brewed to Order 12oz
La Mina may look just like many of the other small farms scattered across the rolling hills of the celebrated Colombian coffee community of Buesaco, but it is hardly common. The López family's selective cherry harvesting, obsessive sorting, and meticulous processing have made La Mina one of the country's most decorated coffee farms, securing an impressive number of wins at the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition. Showcasing the Caturra variety, this washed lot delivers concentrated fruit notes, juicy acidity, and aromatic spice.$11.75Kenya Kamwangi AB Brewed to Order 12oz
In the southern foothills of towering Mount Kenya lies Kirinyaga County, where smallholder growers who form the New Ngariama Cooperative Society deliver their cherries to the Kamwangi Factory washing station. The region's high elevation and volcanic soils are well suited for growing highly regarded local varieties like SL-28 and SL-34. Members meticulously pick their ripe cherries and deliver each day's harvest to the washing station, where cherries are carefully classified, with only the best making it into the final lot. A double fermentation and thorough rinse in fresh water from the Nyamindi River yield a complex, sparkling clean cup that lets the terroir shine. The profile is further refined at the dry mill, where the coffee is sorted to AB standards, one of Kenya's most premium quality grades.$10.75

WHOLE BEAN COFFEE
Single Origin
Ethiopia Alaka Natural (10oz Wholebean)
This lot was grown by members of the Alaka Farmers Association and processed by our longtime partners, METAD, at their Hambela washing station in the West Guji Zone of Oromia. Led by the Adinew family, METAD consistently produces some of our favorite coffees from Ethiopia. Farmers delivered their daily harvest of ripe coffee cherries to the station, where they were meticulously sorted and dried on raised beds with the fruit fully intact. METAD’s expertise and attention to detail are especially evident in natural coffees like this one, where careful processing allows the heirloom varieties and terroir to shine, preserving the distinctive expression that makes Ethiopian coffee unlike any other.$26.00Ethiopia Kirite Washed (Wholebean 10oz)
This lot was grown by smallholder farmers who are part of METAD's Kirite network in the Guji region of Oromia. It is an elegant coffee with floral aromatics and notes of fresh peach, sweet meyer lemon, and hibiscus.$25.00Guatemala Milder Velasquez (10oz Wholebean)
This exceptional lot was grown by cooperative member Milder Velásquez, whose farm is situated in Huehuetenango within the expansive Cuchumatanes mountain range. It is appearing on our single-origin menu for the first time.$24.00Nicaragua Los Delirios Pacamara (10oz Wholebean)
Daniel Canales made history in 2004 as the first grower to win a Cup of Excellence competition with an organically grown coffee. We purchased some of that winning lot and have continued working with the Canales family ever since. Today, the Canales family's commitment to thoughtful farming and exceptional quality continues through Daniel's three sons, Milton, Norman, and Donal, who represent the third generation at the family's farm in Pueblo Nuevo, Estelí, where they have transformed former pastureland into a diverse coffee ecosystem. This year's washed Pacamara lot was produced by Norman Canales, whose careful stewardship carries forward a legacy six decades in the making. A variety known for its remarkably large beans and distinctive flavor, the Pacamara has become one of our favorite coffees from the Canales family.$23.00

This syrupy sweet espresso blend has been the staple of our lineup since the very beginning. Supreme balance and a wonderful sweetness make this a classic.$17.50Ethiopia Ayla Bombe SOE (12oz Wholebean)
This lot comes from the Ayla washing station in Bombe, a high elevation coffee growing community in Ethiopia’s Sidama region. Established in 2010 by family-owned Testi Coffee, Ayla receives freshly picked coffee cherries from neighboring smallholder farmers. Farmers in Bombe cultivate coffee on small plots of land that reach as high as 2,150 meters above sea level, with coffee growing alongside other crops and beneath the shade of native trees. At the washing station, careful sorting begins the moment the cherries arrive and continues throughout processing. The coffee is washed in fresh water from the Bonora River before being dried and sorted on raised beds. As espresso, the sweetness and complexity of coffees from this region really shine. Expect notes of ripe stone fruit and fresh lime zest.$24.00Sublunar Espresso (12oz Wholebean)
A sweet, full-bodied espresso that balances flavors of roasted nuts and chocolate with cherry and dark fruit. Look for: roasted hazelnut, cherry, nougat.$17.50Black Cat Espresso Capsules (10pk)
