The name Njuriga has a cultural meaning for the Kikuyu tribe. It is the place where the men from the tribe were initiated into adulthood, and now the wetmill, or processing area, where this coffee is washed, fermented, and dried, bears this name. It seems appropriate, because this is where the ripe coffee cherries are transformed into the green coffee beans that can then be roasted and enjoyed. This new cooperative is made up of farmers whose holdings average about one acre each. The...

This particular washed lot comes from a longstanding relationship between Royal Coffee Importers and the Barokah Cooperative, which has 140 members who cultivate on small family owned plots of land located around Mount Kerinci, the highest volcano in Indonesia. The cooperative works closely with producers to decrease forest encroachment. Their farm management practices create a protective buffer for the Kerinci Seblat national park, which encircles the entire Kerinci...

Anteneh germinates and plants his own heirloom variety coffees, growing them under native shade trees. The favorable high-altitude farm location, along with the particular heirloom varieties combines to create a very complex coffee. The coffee cherries are dried using the natural process on raised beds, leaving the farm only when the dried coffee is ready to be shipped directly to us. We've been partnering with Anteneh since 2018. We're excited to keep building this fabulous relationship!...

Our house espresso blend is a mixture of a direct trade Guatemala (57%), a natural Ethiopia (30%), and a direct trade Kenya (13%). Delicious and complex on its own but bold enough for people who prefer their coffee the Milky Way. A washed Guatemala forms the sweet chocolate backbone of this blend while the natural Ethiopia lends berry notes. A touch of Kenyan coffee rounds it off with just the right amount of body and acidity. This versatile blend also tastes great when brewed as drip coffee...

Molly, our first roaster, helped us start roasting in 2008. This medium roasted blend is an ode to that machine. It marries one of our direct trade coffees from Guatemala with the best of our current rotation of Central and South American coffees. A halfway point between the light and bright Sunrise and the bold Emerald City. Roast Level: Medium (Agtron: 64) ...

Our best decaf has garnered a few awards. It’s unlikely you’ll know it’s decaf because it is so delicious. The reason for this is that we only use coffee decaffeinated with the Swiss Water Process. Swiss Water Process is an innovative method of decaffeination that removes 99.9 percent of caffeine without the use of chemical solvents. As a result, the coffee remains delicious and complex – but without caffeine! In the cup you’ll find a syrupy mouthfeel with notes of honey, cocoa, and tangerine...
