smooth, jammy, and playfully complex

"This coffee is all about smoothness and complexity, with a little bit of everything going on in the cup. Right away, there’s a sweet milk chocolate note that gives the coffee a creamy, balanced feel, with just enough bitterness to keep things interesting. As you keep sipping, jam-like sweetness comes through, bringing a thicker, fruitier quality with a subtle tartness that adds some depth. There’s also a tonic-like bitterness that pops up in the finish, giving the cup a little more energy and making it feel dynamic from start to finish. Depending on how you brew it, different parts of the coffee really come forward, which makes this one especially fun to play around with."

-Jonathan, Head Roaster

we haven’t met Emmanuel Solís face to face, but here’s how we’re connected to them

Sometimes coffee relationships start in unique ways. In 2024 we started one in Costa Rica and I was really excited about where it was going. Then the market changed, our producer got cold feet, and he sold the coffees out from under us late in the process. I don't blame him. Perry from Selva Coffee found Emmanuel Solis at Las Margaritas Veintiséis in Santa María de Dota. Emmanuel Solis Porras took first in Costa Rica's 2026 Cup of Excellence Experimental category with a Geisha that scored 91.06. This is one of our brown label coffees. I haven't met him face to face yet. We plan to get to Costa Rica next year or the year after, and I can't wait to walk that farm.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica knows what it takes to produce high-quality beans and has been doing so for over 200 years. Rich volcanic soil and diverse terrain create bright, clean cups ranging from Tarrazú's bold aromas to Occidental's fruity peach notes. But it's their cutting-edge research in coffee that really sets Costa Rica apart from the rest.
