Ember

Roast Story: 

Oh Ember—our darkest of dark roasts with such a great story! The idea for Ember actually came about from you, our amazing Alma Familia: Last year, we started receiving feedback from dark roast fanatics that our Enchanted was good, but not strong enough for some taste buds. Having a little more preference towards light roasts ourselves, we were taken aback. A roast darker than Enchanted? Challenge accepted!  

With your feedback we went to work with the goal of roasting our darkest dark roast without compromising quality and taste. The result? Imagine going camping and waking up to some fresh coffee brewed over that handmade campfire: smooth and bold with a little hint of smokiness. 

We can’t end this story without mentioning that this is the only coffee we have with oils on it. The well-developed dark roast does produce noticeable oils that pack a bunch of flavors into your morning cup. Our only warning will be to watch your grinding equipment and purge it/clean it often when enjoying Ember. Any residue left uncleaned for months can change the taste of any other coffees you may want to put through the same equipment, especially if not cleaned properly.  

Origin Story: 

Grown at 1,700 meters above sea level, Belen Gaulcho is one of our more high-altitude coffee offerings. With denser and more complex beans, we experimented with a range of different light roasts until we landed on one that beautifully accentuated the delicious tasting notes of this coffee. Belen Gualcho is a coffee for you If you love acidity and complexity of natural flavor in your coffee.
