In your September shipment you’ll find one blend and one single origin. Living in the Northwest, and getting to enjoy some amazing mountain views we decided to name a blend after these extreme places, so I present to you our Alpine Blend. This blend has 3 unique coffees combined to create a taste that is rich, full in body, with chocolate and spice.

Our second offering this month comes from the Huehuetanago region of Guatemala, more specifically from the Leonarda estate. This coffee is a medium roast and presents with some nice fruit and chocolate flavors. A portion of the proceeds from our purchase of this green coffee is also returned to Guatemala thought the work of Potter’s Field Kids. You can read more about their work in our section of what your purchase supports here.
