Tasting Profile
Light Roast
A lively light roast defined by fresh fruit and bright citrus notes, creating an energetic and refreshing cup. Ethiopian beans lead with fruit-forward vibrancy, while Mexican and Brazilian coffees add balance and depth, resulting in a light-bodied brew with impressive clarity and complexity.
Origin & Region
Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil
Sourced from Ethiopian smallholder farms in Guji’s high-altitude regions, this blend reflects traditional intercropping practices. Mexican beans come from cooperatives in Chiapas focused on environmental stewardship, while Brazilian coffees from the Cerrado contribute consistency and structure. Together, these origins represent time-honored coffee-growing regions with distinct traditions.
Altitude & Processing
900–2,100 MASL (meters above sea level)
This light roast blends naturally processed Ethiopian beans grown at high elevations (1,850–2,100m) for juicy fruit character, washed Mexican beans (1,300–1,750m) for clean structure and balance, and pulped natural Brazilian beans (900–1,400m) to enhance sweetness and body. The diverse processing methods work together to create a bright, layered cup with refined nuance.
Blend Composition
Ethiopian Heirloom Varietals, Bourbon, Typica, Catuai, Catucaí, Mundo Novo
This blend highlights Ethiopian heirloom varietals known for floral and tea-like brightness, paired with Mexican Bourbon and Typica for clean sweetness and balance. Brazilian Catuai, Catucaí, and Mundo Novo add body and a subtle nutty-chocolate foundation, grounding the blend while allowing its vibrant character to shine.
