SWEETHEART – LIGHT ROAST
A Valentine’s Day love story in a bright, beautiful cup. Sweetheart is a lively light roast blend crafted from washed Ethiopian and Guatemalan coffees with a smooth Brazilian base. Expect a vibrant berry sparkle up front—think blackberry-like acidity—balanced by caramel sweetness and soft hints of plum and black tea. Light, romantic, and irresistibly shareable.
Tasting Profile
Light Roast
Bright and sweet with a smooth, elegant finish. Sweetheart opens with juicy berry notes and gentle tea-like florals, followed by caramel sweetness and a chewy, satisfying middle. Subtle plum and black tea accents add depth, making every sip feel playful, cozy, and refined—perfect for Valentine mornings and sunset moments together.
Origin & Region
Ethiopia, Guatemala, Brazil
This three-origin blend brings together some of the world’s most beloved coffee regions: Ethiopian smallholder farms in Guji for vibrant floral and fruit character, Guatemalan producers in Antigua and Huehuetenango for balanced sweetness and complexity, and Brazilian estates in Cerrado for a smooth, comforting foundation.
Altitude & Processing
900–2,100 MASL (meters above sea level)
Designed for clarity, brightness, and romance in every sip. Ethiopian beans (1,850–2,100m) are fully washed to highlight luminous florals and berry sparkle. Guatemalan beans (1,500–2,000m) are washed for clean sweetness and layered complexity, while Brazilian beans (900–1,400m) use pulped natural processing to add body, balance, and a soft cocoa-like warmth. Together they create a light roast that feels vibrant yet perfectly smooth.
Blend Composition
Ethiopian Heirloom Varietals, Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, Catuaí, Mundo Novo
Ethiopian heirloom varietals bring bright berry and tea-like notes, while Guatemalan Bourbon and Typica add structure, sweetness, and depth. Brazilian Catuaí and Mundo Novo round out the cup with a silky body and a warm, subtle richness—creating a well-balanced light roast that’s both uplifting and gift-worthy.
