Specialty Grade Ratings: Bzl: 83, Mex: 86, Guat: 85
Tasting Profile: Dark
A bold dark roast with deep body featuring rich bakers chocolate and caramelized sugar notes. The smooth, velvety texture creates a perfectly balanced cup where sweetness and depth harmonize in this satisfying brew.
Origin & Region: Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala
This blend sources from Brazilian farms in Cerrado's mechanized agricultural systems, Mexican cooperatives in Chiapas focused on organic and sustainable practices, and Guatemalan producers in the volcanic soil regions of Antigua and Huehuetenango. These three origins provide reliable sourcing from well-established coffee-growing areas with strong farmer networks.
Blend Composition: Bourbon, Typica, Caturra, Catuaí, Catucaí, Mundo Novo
This dark roast blend combines Guatemalan Bourbon, Typica, and Caturra for complexity and sweetness that holds up to darker roasting, Mexican Bourbon and Typica for clean structure and balance, and Brazilian Catuaí, Catucaí, and Mundo Novo for rich body and chocolate foundation. These varietals are specifically chosen for their ability to maintain origin character while developing the bold, roasted flavors and full body expected from a premium dark roast blend.
Altitude & Processing: 900-2,000 MASL (meters above sea level)
This dark roast blend combines Brazilian beans (900-1,400m) using pulped natural processing for chocolate richness and body, Mexican beans (1,300-1,750m) washed for structural balance, and Guatemalan beans (1,500-2,000m) washed for complexity. The varied processing methods develop into a bold, full-bodied dark roast that maintains origin character while delivering the robust intensity expected from this roast level.
