Product Details


Tasting Profile — Light Roast


Bright, lively, and unapologetically energetic.


This light roast fires off fresh fruit and citrus sparkle right from the first sip. The Ethiopian beans lead the charge with their fruit-forward punch, while the Mexican and Brazilian components keep everything grounded with a clean, balanced core. The result? A light-bodied, high-brightness cup with layers of complexity that wake up your taste buds even if the rest of you hasn’t caught up yet.


Origin & Region — Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil


A global trio with serious credentials.


This blend pulls from Ethiopian smallholder farms in the high-altitude Guji region, where traditional intercropping keeps the soil — and the flavor — thriving. It pairs with Mexican cooperative-grown coffee from Chiapas, known for environmental stewardship, and Brazilian estates in Cerrado, where systematic cultivation delivers consistency and depth. Three distinct traditions, one seriously vibrant cup.


Altitude & Processing — 900–2,100 MASL


Crafted by altitude and method — literally.


We combine naturally processed Ethiopian beans (1,850–2,100m) for juicy fruit intensity, washed Mexican beans (1,300–1,750m) for crisp structure and balance, and pulped-natural Brazilians (900–1,400m) for sweetness and smooth body. Each process highlights the delicate origin characteristics, stacking together into a layered, complex, exceptionally bright light roast that keeps things interesting from start to finish.


Blend Composition — Ethiopian Heirloom, Bourbon, Typica, Catuaí, Catucaí, Mundo Novo


A blend built to shine.


This roast features Ethiopian heirloom varietals for their floral, tea-like brilliance; Mexican Bourbon and Typica for clean sweetness and balanced acidity; and Brazilian Catuaí, Catucaí, and Mundo Novo for that subtle body-and-chocolate base that keeps the cup grounded. The heirlooms bring the sparkle, the Mexican varietals bring the refinement, and the Brazilian cultivars bring the smooth finish — all working together for one bright, uplifting brew.
