Intensely personal, small batch coffee roasting
Hello, David here.
Back when I was living with my family, my parents would invite what seemed like the whole neighborhood over to the house every other day. We’d always serve them great coffee, pulled by yours truly! The number of guests grew and grew until I realized that the only way we could continue to serve good coffee was to either win the lottery or roast our own.
Winning a lottery?
Thankfully I didn’t win the lottery. 2 years later I was roasting coffee for friends, family and my entire office when a good friend offered to pay for my roast and the rest is history.
Of roasting
I roast because I fell in love with the smells, sounds, and the artistry of it all. That's why I still only roast 6 ounces at a time, everything by hand. That does mean it takes two full roasts for each order but I’ve decided to keep roasts the same size as when I started out roasting for just my family and friends. My hope is that you enjoy this coffee as much as I’ve enjoyed roasting it!

Where is the coffee from?
This coffee comes from the community of Tierra Blanca. The indigenous Zapotec population in Tierra Blanca have been growing coffee for generations, situated in the highland mountain region of Mexico's Sierra Madre de Oaxaca mountain range.
27 different farmers contributed coffee to this regional blend, all members of the local coffee cooperative UNECAFE. The farmers of Tierra Blanca are growing a mix of mostly older Bourbon and Typica types, and Marsellesa (a disease-resistant hybrid), with altitudes stretching up to about 1,500 meters above sea level.
This lot is certified Fair Trade and Organic.
Mexico FTO Comunidad Tierra Blanca
This coffee from Mexico is undoubtedly one of the best I've ever seen from that region. The dry fragrance is loaded with brown sugar type sweetness, accented by honey and spiced apple. Lots of honey and dried fruit; just enough sour to bring out the sweetness especially in the lighter roasts. Unless requested otherwise, however, I plan to take this bean all the way to full city which starts to transform the sweetness into big chocolate taste. There is a nuttiness throughout that I like too - a very good coffee to give to someone who thinks coffee is mostly bitter!
recommended method: pour over, aero press.

Guatemala Cafeteros Decaf (12oz)
This is a very solid Guatemala whose strong origin flavors help the decaf to be tasty even after the SWP process. This process is the gentlest of all the decaf processes and the bean retains much of the flavor- which is, of course, why I got it!Each bag is 12 ounces, heat sealed in CO-venting bag with a zip-lock top.
