    • ARC

      We originally crafted the ARC Blend as a perfect choice for wholesale customers with super-automatic espresso machines in their cafes, but the feedback we’ve received has been so amazing that we wanted to give everyone the chance to enjoy it! The ARC Blend has the perfect traditional espresso flavor profile, dark chocolate, caramel & hazelnut. We roast this coffee slightly heavier than our other coffees, but don’t worry…. no oily beans here. Only perfectly roasted, full-bodied flavor that tastes just as great as a drip coffee as it does on an espresso machine. Give it a shot today, it might just be your new favorite! This coffee is part of our ARC SERIES. These coffees feature a slightly heavier roast profile, perfect for fans of traditional dark roasts.
      $16.00
    • Conduit

      From the Latin word “conducere” meaning “bring together,” Conduit combines seasonal coffees to produce a medium-bodied, clean, and balanced flavor profile. An exceptionally versatile blend, this coffee is vibrant and complex with just a touch of fruit. You’ll often find Conduit available as a drip coffee option in many of our partner cafes, which is a testament to the approachable and delicious flavor profile of the coffee. Conduit is our best-selling blend, so don’t be surprised if it ends up being your new favorite coffee!
      $16.00
    • Zing

      Named in honor of our old friend Sam and his trailblazing cold brew company Uel Zing, our Zing blend is the prefect combo of two of the flavors we love most in a cold brew and espresso: rich chocolate and dark fruit. Whether you brew the Zing Blend as an espresso, cold brew, or in your classic drip coffee machine, you can count on a rich and sweet complexity with a focus on balance. This one won’t ever let you down. This coffee is part of our ARC SERIES. These coffees feature a slightly heavier roast profile, perfect for fans of traditional dark roasts. Zing Blend was awarded two Bronze medals at the 2019 Golden Bean Competition in Nashville, TN in both the Espresso (short black) and Milk-Based (latte) categories!
      $16.00
    • Lumen

      Expect a bright, fruit-driven experience with lots of personality. The acidity is crisp and refreshing (in a good way), and you'll find layers of fruited sweetness and floral notes that keep things interesting from the first sip to the last. Whether you're brewing it as a pour-over to really geek out on the details or just making a quick cup before you run out
      $21.00
    • Decaf

      This Colombian decaf employs the sugarcane process, a natural decaffeination method that sets it apart from conventional approaches. The process utilizes ethyl acetate, a compound derived from fermented sugarcane molasses, to gently remove caffeine while preserving the coffee's inherent characteristics.
      $17.00
    • Honduras - Santa Lucia

      Santa Lucia, perfectly planted in Montaña de La Choca atop a national mountain reserve, is surrounded by a cloud forest full of exotic wildlife. The well-defined seasons in this region contribute to the high quality of specialty coffees. The rainy season results in beautiful cherries, and the clear, dry season allows the producers to sun-dry their coffee once it is washed. The high altitude, richness of the clay, soil, and warmth of the sun ensure that the integrity and quality of the beans are preserved from beginning to end. This coffee is part of our ARC SERIES. These coffees feature a slightly heavier roast profile, perfect for fans of traditional dark roasts.

      $16.00
    • Ethiopia - Chelbesa

      We’re tasting lots of exciting floral notes in this coffee; bergamot, rose, and lime all shine through deliciously. While this coffee will work great in all brewing methods, we think you’ll have a lot of fun experimenting with this coffee in a pourover or Aeropress application. Try a slightly coarser grind and increase brew agitation to really let this coffee sing!
      $20.00
    • Costa Rica - El Cocobolo

      $21.00
    • Nicaragua - Bayardo Reyes Maragogype Natural

      This marks our eighth year of collaboration with Bayardo Reyes, a period during which he has gradually expanded his cultivation to include more prestigious coffee varieties. Among these is the Maragogype, transplanted from his family's original farm, which was lost during the Nicaraguan Revolution.
      $19.00
    • Ethiopia - Suke Quto

      This coffee opens with floral aromatics and a lively, fruit-forward sweetness. Notes of dried fruit and blueberry carry through a silky body, balanced by a delicate green tea finish that adds structure and clarity to the cup.
      $19.00
    • Guatemala - Primavera

      This coffee showcases the classic profile that has made Huehuetenango one of Guatemala’s most celebrated coffee-growing regions. Expect a balanced and approachable cup with layered sweetness, gentle acidity, and a comforting structure that highlights the region’s hallmark clarity and versatility. Built from carefully selected producer lots, Primavera Family is a reflection of both community and craftsmanship—bringing together multiple farms, shared expertise, and a commitment to creating a coffee that is welcoming, dependable, and distinctly Huehuetenango.
