This lively blend brings together coffees from three renowned growing regions, creating a cup that feels fresh, expressive, and beautifully layered.

          At the heart of the blend are Ethiopian heirloom coffees grown at high elevations in the Guji region.

Naturally processed Ethiopian cherries develop lush berry and citrus notes that give the blend its signature brightness and lively personality.

          Mexican coffees from the highlands of Chiapas provide structure and clarity to the cup. Cultivars such as Bourbon and Typica introduce gentle sweetness and balanced acidity, helping to refine the fruit-forward character while keeping the profile smooth and elegant.

          Brazilian beans from the Cerrado region round out the blend with body and warmth. Varietals including Catuaí, Catucaí, and Mundo Novo contribute subtle chocolate undertones and a soft nutty sweetness that anchor the brighter fruit flavors without overwhelming them.

          Roasted lightly to preserve the delicate characteristics of each origin, Beach Sunrise™ delivers a cup that is bright, aromatic, and full of life.

Canopy Sunrise NEW!

  • Type: Single Origin (Ethiopia – Sidama)
  • Flavor Profile: Berry, Stone Fruit, Floral
    • Canopy Sunrise™ captures the vibrant character that has made Ethiopian coffees legendary among specialty coffee lovers. Grown at high elevations in the Sidama region — widely considered one of Ethiopia’s most expressive coffee landscapes — this single-origin coffee delivers a beautifully aromatic cup layered with fruit, florals, and delicate tea-like elegance.

      The fragrance opens with bright citrus oils and soft jasmine-like florals. In the cup, vibrant berry and stone-fruit notes emerge first, followed by gentle tea-like herbal tones and a clean citrus finish.

      Tasting Notes: Light body with delicate green tea, lemon verbena, and bright berry notes
      • This coffee is naturally processed, meaning the entire coffee cherry is dried slowly on raised beds before the beans are removed. During this careful drying period, fruit sugars from the cherry interact with the seed, contributing to the lush berry sweetness and wine-like depth that Ethiopian natural coffees are known for.

        What makes Sidama coffee especially remarkable is the extraordinary diversity of Ethiopian heirloom varieties, producing distinctive aromatic complexity and refined fruit character. The result is a cup that feels bright, expressive, and beautifully layered, finishing clean with lingering citrus and floral notes.

Sourced from the mountainous regions of Huila and Cauca, this single-origin coffee delivers a beautifully balanced cup where bright fruit notes meet rich chocolate sweetness.

    High elevations between 1,200 and 1,800 meters allow the coffee cherries to ripen slowly, concentrating natural sugars and developing the dense bean structure prized in Specialty Grade coffee. The volcanic soils and dramatic mountain terrain of these regions create the ideal environment for producing coffees with lively acidity, clean sweetness, and refined complexity.

    In the cup, Jade Coast™ opens with aromas of cocoa and ripe fruit. The flavor unfolds with vibrant cherry and red grape notes, followed by hints of plum that add depth to the profile.

  • Tasting Notes: Chocolate, maple, plum, apple sweetness, black tea complexity
  • Mermaid’s Song™ captures the elegance and balance that make Guatemalan coffees some of the most admired in the world. Grown high in the volcanic mountains of Huehuetenango and Antigua, this single-origin coffee delivers a beautifully layered cup where sweetness, fruit complexity, and refined acidity come together in harmony.

    At elevations reaching up to 2,000 meters, the cooler mountain climate allows coffee cherries to mature slowly, concentrating their natural sugars and developing dense, flavorful beans. The volcanic soils surrounding Antigua and the limestone-rich terrain of Huehuetenango contribute distinct mineral richness that gives Guatemalan coffees their signature depth and clarity.

    In the cup, Mermaid’s Song™ opens with aromas of cocoa and warm maple sweetness. The flavor unfolds with rich chocolate and caramel tones layered with notes of ripe plum and red apple.

  • Tasting Notes: Rich earthy body, herbal tones, dark chocolate depth, savory smooth finish
    • Calm Island Decaf™ offers the rich character of Indonesian coffee without the caffeine, delivering a full-bodied cup that feels deep, smooth, and grounding. Sourced from highland farms in Indonesia, this coffee reflects the bold personality that Mandheling coffees are known for — earthy complexity, herbal depth, and chocolate richness.

      Indonesian coffees grow in volcanic soils at high elevations where warm days and misty mountain nights slow the development of the coffee cherry. This environment allows the beans to build remarkable body and density, producing the heavy, velvety texture that defines classic Indonesian coffee.

      In the cup, Calm Island Decaf™ opens with warm aromas of dark cocoa and toasted spice. The flavor reveals layers of bittersweet chocolate, earthy undertones, and subtle herbal notes reminiscent of cedar and sweet pipe tobacco. The body is full and satisfying, while the acidity remains soft and gentle, creating a calm and balanced drinking experience.

      The beans are processed using Indonesia’s traditional semi-washed method, which contributes to the coffee’s signature weighty mouthfeel and deep flavor profile. After roasting, the coffee is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process, a chemical-free method that removes nearly all caffeine while preserving the bean’s natural oils and flavor compounds.

      The result is a cup that feels comforting, smooth, and richly complex, proving that decaffeinated coffee can still deliver the depth and satisfaction serious coffee drinkers expect.

    The Cerrado Mineiro plateau provides ideal growing conditions for coffee: high elevation plains, nutrient-rich soils, and a stable climate that allows cherries to ripen evenly. These conditions produce beans with exceptional balance and the classic flavor profile Brazil is famous for — rich cocoa tones, soft nutty sweetness, and a rounded body.

    In the cup, Cocoa Palms™ opens with aromas of roasted nuts and warm cocoa. The flavor unfolds with smooth milk chocolate and honeyed sweetness, followed by notes of roasted peanut and caramelized sugar that give the coffee its comforting depth. The body is full and creamy, while the acidity remains mild and gentle, making the coffee exceptionally smooth and approachable.

    The pulped-natural processing method enhances the bean’s natural sweetness and body. By leaving a small amount of fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, the coffee develops the signature chocolate richness and velvety mouthfeel that define premium Brazilian coffees.

    The result is a cup that feels warm, balanced, and deeply satisfying — the kind of coffee that works beautifully as an everyday brew while still offering the quality and flavor clarity expected from Specialty Grade beans.
