The Ethiopian beans drive the fruit-forward character, while the Mexican and Brazilian components provide a harmonious balance, resulting in a light-bodied coffee with exceptional complexity and brightness.

Origin & Region: Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil

This blend sources its beans from Ethiopian smallholder farms in the high-altitude regions of Guji, where traditional intercropping methods are practiced. It also includes Mexican beans from cooperatives in Chiapas, emphasizing environmental stewardship, and Brazilian beans from estates in Cerrado, known for their systematic cultivation approaches. Together, these origins represent diverse farming traditions from established coffee-producing regions.

Altitude & Processing: 900-2,100 MASL (meters above sea level)

Our light roast blend combines naturally processed Ethiopian beans (1,850-2,100 MASL) for juicy fruit characteristics. Mexican beans (1,300-1,750 MASL) are fully washed to ensure a clean structure and balance, while Brazilian beans (900-1,400 MASL) utilize pulped natural processing for added body and sweetness. The diverse processing methods preserve the delicate origin characteristics while creating a complex, layered cup with exceptional brightness and nuanced flavors.

Blend Composition: Ethiopian Heirloom Varietals, Bourbon, Typica, Catuaí, Catucaí, Mundo Novo

This blend features Ethiopian heirloom varietals prized for their bright floral and tea-like qualities. Complementing these are Mexican Bourbon and Typica for clean sweetness and balanced acidity, alongside Brazilian Catuaí, Catucaí, and Mundo Novo for body and a chocolate foundation. The Ethiopian heirlooms deliver exceptional brightness and complexity, while the Mexican varietals provide structural elegance. The Brazilian cultivars contribute a rich body and nutty chocolate base, grounding this delightful light roast blend.
