Streamline Espresso (world famous) (Blend) |
|
|
|
There is the crema, brick red-brown and thick. Its pillowy viscosity clings to the sides of the warm demitasse. In a swirl around the cup, it offers fleeting notes of fresh pine that plump into a full, soft caramel aroma. Streamline's fruit---juicy blueberry and blackberry--carries it accross the palate in no rush: toasted hazelnuts, bittersweet chocolate, and brown sugar each take their time on the tongue before melting into a butter frosting mouthfeel. The six coffees working together here are a linear, tight knit bunch. They have dinner together and laugh until their bellies hurt, kind of like us. |

Deco Decaf (Blend) |
|
Organic/Fair Trade/Water Processed |
|
Okay. So it's decaf. But listen: dried cherries and prunes in the dry aroma become black cherries and soft plums in the cup. Indonesian beans are the base here, they lay down the heavy bodied , fruit focused structure for the Central and South American coffees to show their cinnamon graham cracker and baking chocolate softness. Grown and processed without chemicals and decaffeinate for your guilt free (coffee) drinking pleasure. |

Empire Blend (Blend) |
|
|
|
In homage to the art deco masterpiece that popular opinion believed was impossible, our Empire blend was thoughtfully created to carry the distinction of "the only blend that is not espresso". We chose three Latin American coffees that would compliment each other well in body, acidity and mouthfeel and the results are delightful: tobacco, dried fruit and toasted marshmallow followed by a clean, balanced cup full of sweet chocolate and linear acidity. Perfect if you can't decide on a single origin, perfect with toast in the morning or cookies in the afternoon. |

Triborough Espresso (Blend) |
|
Organic |
|
The complex, intense Streamline Espresso now has a laidback country cousin: the Triborough Organic Espresso blend. This well balanced, heavy bodied espresso first hits your nose with a delicate floral sweetness, followed by a buttery caramel mouthfeel. Take the time to savor the marzipan, clover honey, and bittersweet chocolate as they lounge around on your tongue. Add steamed milk, and it turns into a smooth as silk chocolaty dessert, perfect for sipping on those days when you just want to escape from the hustle and bustle. |

Sumatra Mandheling (Single Origin) |
|
Grade 1, Aceh Region |
|
This coffee comes to us from the Aceh region at the northern tip of the island of Sumatra, which is world renowned for its ability to produce rich, heavy coffees. You’ll find that this bean is every bit the Classic Indonesian: thick, cedary, silky, and almost savory. And we swear you’ll be able to detect the subtle flavor of roasted sweet bell pepper. It’s exactly what one expects from a Sumatra, especially if their expectations are high! |

Brasil Carmo de Minas (Single Origin) |
|
Rancho São Benedito |
|
Coming from the small Brasilian estate of Mariana de Carvalho Junqueira, this amazing pulped natural coffee has us reeling with its light, fermenty sweetness. The juicy, yet gentle acidity opens up to a tea-like flavor – leaving notes of sweet basil, almond, and fragrant rosewater. Its characteristics are so enchanting and ethereal, it leaves us to wonder about the magical properties of the Rancho São Benedito. |

Guatemala Huehuetenango - Finca Vista Hermosa (Single Origin) |
|
Direct Trade/Relationship Coffee |
|
The Martinez family has grown coffee on their farm in the mountains of Huehuetenango for three generations. When we meet with Edwin to discuss the new crop or the new medical building on his farm, we breathe easy because the love and care that goes into his coffee is not only obvious in the cup, but in the way that he talks about his coffee, and even in the way he loads a 150 pound bag of it on his back. He has good reason to be proud: the blackberries, almonds and coffee blossom in the aroma alone are enough to break your heart. That they are followed by sweet milk chocolate, stone fruit and a remarkable, crisp acidity means that we’re in love. THIS COFFEE IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE UNTIL WE RECEIVE THE NEW CROP, HOPEFULLY SOMETIME IN JULY. |

Ethiopia Harar - "Boldgrain" (Single Origin) |
|
|
|
This year’s new crop of Harars has been highly anticipated, so we had high hopes ourselves for this particular coffee. Branded as “Boldgrain” by its shipping company, this high-end coffee is double handpicked to ensure fewer defective beans (and thus, more consistent cup quality). We appreciate the extra work, as every cup we’ve sampled so far has featured blueberry muffins in the fragrance, hints of apricot and vanilla flavor, and a thick, syrupy body. Fruity, with low acidity − we’re certain you’ll enjoy this classic Harar! |

Kenya Nyeri - Ichamara, Grade AA (Single Origin) |
|
|
|
Straight from the southwestern slopes of Mt. Kenya in the Nyeri District, this coffee is carefully tended by the Gikaru Coffee Farmers Cooperative Society. Sharing the Ichamara washing station, this co-op produces and processes their crop with astonishing results: a pleasantly high acidity; yet, the smooth heaviness sinks this coffee from the roof of your mouth to the base of your tongue. There, you find unmistakable black currant, with a parting hint of exotic citrus in the lingering finish. Complex, bold, and mouthwatering… this is a Kenya you’ll be sure to remember! |

Colombia Huila Monserrate Excelso (Single Origin) |
|
|
|
The 42 families growing this coffee in the idyllic high altitude community of Monserrate take great pride in constantly improving the quality of their beans… and we’re proud to report that it shows. When you take the first sweet, floral whiff of this amazing coffee, you can’t help but wonder if the taste will deliver as the aroma advertises: and it does! This Colombian manages a delicate mingling of juicy cherries, pipe tobacco, sandalwood, and, dare we say, chocolate chip cookies? |

Costa Rica Las Lajas (Single Origin) |
|
Organic |
|
This single estate, micro-mill organic comes from the Chacón Solano family, whose farm lies on the slopes of the Poás volcano. Grown at 4200 - 5000ft above sea level, these caturra and catuai are eco-mill wet-processed and dried on African beds and patios only. We’ve taken this roast a tad darker than usual to add some body; yet the powerful acidity and floral notes maintain the balance of this bold cup of coffee. |
