Abstract

OK, so you need a quick burst of energy, but your bedtime is in three hours. You, my friend, need a POWER NAP. You already love our floral washed Worka from Ethiopia. Well, we blended it with a natural sugar cane process Colombia creating Power Nap. We created this "half-caf" blend just for you, a pre-roast blend of 50% of our beloved Ethiopia Worka and 50% of our Decaf Colombia Huila. The resulting cup is silky sweet and reminiscent of ripe peach and cocoa, with a sweet finish of brown sugar. It's so tasty; you might just have two cups and stay up past your bedtime...

Origin

Colombia

Colombia uniquely offers a diverse array of coffee varieties and processing methods. Known for innovation and resilience, Colombia's coffee history dates back to the early 19th century, with smallholder farmers being key contributors. Despite challenges like weather and conflict, Colombia consistently produces high-quality specialty coffee. For over a decade years, we've partnered with both large and small-scale producers from all five main growing zones, fostering close relationships and friendships.

Ethiopia

Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee, has a rich history dating back to the 9th century. From its origins in Kaffa, coffee spread to the Arabian Peninsula and Europe, becoming a cultural mainstay. Ethiopia remains a top coffee producer, known for its diverse terroirs and quality. We partner with both large and small-scale producers, offering a range of profiles from classic washed to fruit-forward anaerobic naturals. Visiting Ethiopia for over a decade, we continue to be amazed by its beauty.

Elevation

1950 MASL

Elevation influences coffee cultivation, impacting flavor and quality. Higher elevations offer cooler temperatures, slowing the growth of coffee cherries, allowing more time for complex sugar and flavor development. This results in coffee with brighter acidity and a nuanced flavor profile. Additionally, cooler conditions at high altitudes reduce pests and diseases, making these coffees highly prized for their superior quality and distinct taste.

Variety

Harvest

Colombia

Colombia has a unique harvest schedule, thanks to the varied topography and proximity to the equator. Between those two variables, Colombia harvests nearly year round across the five main coffee growing regions. Each region has fairly reliable harvest times that conveniently stagger, providing fresh crop coffee all year round.

Ethiopia

The specialty harvest within East Africa takes place from early October through December and sometimes into January. As with all agriculture, the harvest times can vary due to factors like rainfall, average sunlight, and general temperature swings. We purchase from our relationships in East Africa once a year around January through February. The freshness season is extended well beyond most especially in Ethiopia. We source and land containers year round, thanks to the long voyage these coffees go on.

Process

Drying

Raised-Bed Dried

Raised-beds are scaffold like structures that elevate perforated trays that hold coffee parchment or cherries. The holes in the structure allow for airflow on a near 360 degree level, ensuring that the coffee dries evenly when proper bed turning is practices. Some even go as far as covering the beds with a partial block from the sun, which extends drying and ensures the cell structure of the coffee goes largely undamaged from the UV.

Roasting

Diedrich CR-35

Prior to production, each roast goes through a rigorous dial-in process, where we fine-tune our temperature curves. We roast to tight tolerances, with no more than 1° deviation from target temperatures, ensuring quality and consistency in each batch.

Agtron

#68.5 Moderate

Referring to medium as moderate is an intentional choice to highlight the roasting process, which is also referred to as development. Coffees within the moderate range exhibit notes in line with terroir, with a hint of sugar-browning. These characteristics are backed by a medium to high perceived acidity with a balanced tactile and sweetness, and they adapt easily from espresso to filter preparation.

Inventory

Evergreen

Our year-round rigorous sourcing allows us to have an evergreen blend with a flavor profile of high quality while retaining our commitment to seasonal coffees. This amount of cupping and blending takes a considerable amount of time, but we think it makes the difference and is a system we use for all our blends.

Extraction

Filter

Filter extraction offers a clean, nuanced flavor with distinct layers, ideal for appreciating subtle notes. Espresso extraction is intense and concentrated, highlighting bold, rich flavors with crema. It's usually suited for milk-based drinks, providing a robust foundation.
