Its a blend of three coffee found between Yemen and Ethiopia that makes a great fruity compex versatile cup. Blending is usually an opportunity to bring different continents together, rather than mix coffees from the same area. But in this case, the three beans turn into an extremely winey and complex cup.
…The chocolate taste hidden in the Harrar, the fruitiness of the Yemen Mocca, the wild nature of all three coffees…. Just great! Very versatile; it’s good in a drip, press, or vac pot, and it also does well as espresso. As low as $8/ lb

• El Salvador Ahuachapán Santa Rita Peaberry 
El Salvador Ahuachapán Santa Rita Peaberry, bag marks 09/401/73
Being peaberry, your roast will tend to be nice an uniform. In the cup you’ll find a strong aromatics, some tart berry, and cocoa. Imagine tart cherry with a drop of nutella. It’s a clean balanced cup, not too heavy, with a fleeting aftertaste of chocolate. (Imagine a cherry hi-hat in conversation with a cocoa stringless bass.) Even better as it cools. We suggest a medium roast. Reach a good second crack and stop.
It’s a clean balanced cup, not too heavy, with a fleeting aftertaste of chocolate. This is an aromatic cup with complex fruit acidity, balanced overall, with a sweet chocolaty finish.
Santa Rita Farm is located near the Ilamatepec cinder cone Volcano in the Apaneca Ilamatepec region of Northern El Salvador. When they say coffee grows in volcanic soil, they’re not kidding. The volcano erupted within the last ten years or so. In the community, Santa Rita contributes to local social and environmental consciousness, including community health services and infrastructure for education.
• Honduras Evangelina Matute 
Honduras Evangelina Matute is another one of those coffees that have recently benefited greatly from organized and dedicated attention to quality.
You will find a nicely balanced cup, medium body with a brown sugar sweetness to it that plays well with the subtle florals that emerge as it cools.
This is a very smooth, comfortable coffee. Over a few days, it develops a gorgeous thick body and some deep toned chocolate flavors. Honduran coffees are generally not bright coffees, but instead known more for their sweetness and stand up well in a darker roast.
Exported in GrainPro bags. This is another on of those coffees that have benefited greatly from organized and dedicated attention to quality through greater attention in processing, organization, and education.
This coffee is produced by Evangelina Matute, her farm is located in the North West of Honduras and processed as a micro-lot at the Cooperativa Regional de Agricultores Orgánicos de la Sierra (RAOS) where Evangelina is a member.
Leaf rust has caused considerable damage to Evangelina’s farm but she has started a nursery to replace damaged coffee trees and add additional shade trees before the 2014-2015 coffee harvest.
