Funky, fun and fresh! Hold on to your seat, this is about as bizarre as it gets for coffee! This bean reveals leather, tobacco and some slight bittersweet tones. There are subtle spices like cardamom, cinnamon and nutmeg that creep in the finish, especially as it cools. In addition to a distinct pungent aroma, the roasted beans smell like peanut butter.

A surprisingly fickle bean that challenges the roaster! When handled properly and with a delicate touch, fabulous nutty flavors emerge – with almond being predominant. Hints of milk chocolate, citrus, caramel. A balanced and bright cup. This is our House Coffee and we are very proud of it indeed. It is a great, not-demanding, first-cup-in-the-morning coffee.

The key to good decaf is starting with a superior bean! This Colombian is of the highest quality and managed expertly through the German, strictly-controlled MC decaf process. The result is phenomenal. Chocolate, coffee, deep flavors. Luxuriously silky in your mouth. Better than every non-decaf on shelves today.

A gorgeous bean that opens up like a fine wine in the cup. Layers of fruit come through: black currant and raspberries are clearest. Hints of chocolate and a bit of grapefruit. As the bean ages, the grapefruit moves to center stage. Some spice flavors, like nutmeg and cinnamon, emerge on the finish. Very sophisticated, bright and balanced. A personal favorite of the Roaster!

This cup starts off with a deep, dark, fruity aroma that says “sweet.” The dominant flavors that stand out are milk chocolate with a touch of hazelnuts and brown sugar. The body is exceptionally smooth and silky, with a rich, buttery mouthfeel. There is a cocoa powder dryness on the finish with a real coffee taste mixed with a light citrusy tartness. This is a very elegant cup of coffee. Single Estate.
