Current Coffee Selections
Ripe berry aroma. Flavors of star fruit, watermelon and caramelized sugar.
On the volcanic slopes of Lake Atitlán, this coffee is washed and sun dried employing the traditional method. Grown at 1600 meters above sea level these bourbon, caturra, and catuai varietals benefit greatly from the magma collapse that occurred there 80,000 years ago and formed Lake Atitlán. The soil left by this collapse is nutrient rich and highly fertile, ripe for growing coffee.

From the Central Highlands, 1750 meters above sea level comes our new Kenyan coffee. The Fairview Estate is a very well established farm growing coffee for over 80 years. On this 300 acre farm overseen by Mr. Kimata, our lot, of the SL-28 variety, is a very specific portion; only the peaberries! After being washed and de-pulped our lot is collected over three individual sortings two mechanically and one by hand. A fourth sorting also happens on the drying beds to remove any defects while the coffee is still in parchment. The Fairview Estate pays attention to every detail of the process from irrigation and fertilization to the well being of the employees.
Utz Certified.

Virmax Relationship coffee. Washed and dried in the traditional method, the coffee is then gathered from different farms working collectively as Las Serranias and taken to Descafecol, in Manizales, to undergo the decaffeination process. The coffee is treated using the Ethyl acetate method. Ethyl acetate is a naturally occurring sugar in fruits and is naturally found in coffee. The Ethyl acetate used for our coffee is derived from cane sugar.

History of the Heartbreaker: Cheryl once described a macchiato as a “heartbreaker”…as in it was so delicious, it melted or broke her heart. When we had our espresso-naming contest, Liam remembered this and shouted out “heartbreaker.” He won a Chemex, and we won the name.

The nice folk at Café Grumpy let me look over their shoulders for the full journey of their latest coffee—the Paso Ancho from Carmen Estate farm, Panama—from delivery to them, to delivery to you.”
