Blue Orchid is Huckleberry’s house espresso blend. We serve this coffee every day in our cafes, and it is designed to be approachable, both as espresso and as a brewed coffee, with and without milk. If you’ve ever had a great latte experience at one of Huckleberry’s cafes, Blue Orchid was the base.
While the Blue Orchid blend does change frequently, we try to maintain a sweet, full-bodied, chocolate and caramel flavor profile by using Central and South American coffees specifically chosen for those qualities. This is great tasting comfort coffee, and is a well-rounded crowd pleaser, especially if some of that crowd likes cream in their cup, or is still making the transition from darker roast profiles into specialty coffee. We love intense floral aromatics, but some mornings we just want the chocolate, toffee, and a bit of milk in our mug, and for those days, Blue Orchid is our go-to.
The current version of Blue Orchid is a blend of Brazil Pocos de Caldas and Peru Aldea Laurel.

Who doesn’t like David Bowie? We like David Bowie.
Bowie's pretty much always the right choice. And while there are plenty of moments when we reach for that Misfits record and a cup of bright Kenyan coffee or some NSFW early 90's gangsta rap and a cup of slightly savory coffee from Sulawesi, we also value both music and coffee that's always the right choice, no matter the audience. Something that'll please both the classic rock fans and the hipsterest hipsters. In our blend lineup, that’s where Sound & Vision comes in. It’s not quite as poppy and in-your-face as Phantom Limb or many of our single origins, but we also wanted to give folks a bit more intrigue than tried-and-true Blue Orchid.
So, we’ve started out with a chocolatey, full-bodied Latin American base very similar to Blue Orchid, and kicked it up just a tiny bit with a small amount of natural-processed East African goodness. A tiny bit of fruit and brightness to keep the more discerning palates satisfied, but also plenty of comforting, traditional flavors for folks who want their coffee to taste “bold” or “like coffee, damnit.” Confident on its own, but also plays very well with milk.
Do you like cold brew, too? This also happens to be the blend that we use in our kegged cold brew, so if you’re too far away for us to deliver a keg, don’t have a tap system, or just want to do it yourself for any other reason, Sound & Vision is our go-to cold brew suggestion. What about espresso? We're pulling shots of S+V as our house espresso at our Dairy Block café in downtown Denver. Whether it's a shot, a cup full of ice, or a filter brew for a crowd, Sound and Vision is an easy choice.
Current Blend: 50% Brazil Fazenda Pocos de Caldas, 40% Peru Aldea Laurel, 10% Ethiopia Aramo Natural

Phantom Limb is a 2021 Good Food Awards Winner!
Phantom Limb is the wildest of Huckleberry’s blends. We conceived Phantom Limb to focus on fruit-forward flavors that one might not expect from a traditional espresso or drip blend.
Phantom Limb is an East African showcase, highlighting both natural and washed coffees. Phantom Limb will taste great as espresso and drip, but is intended to showcase the unexpected, unique flavors of its components - jam and berries from the natural process and the lemonade, clean, floral goodness we love in washed Africans - rather than adhere to anyone’s idea of a “traditional” espresso. If you want to think about it in terms of candy, Blue Orchid is your Tootsie Roll or Milky Way, Phantom is your bag of Jolly Ranchers or pack of Starbursts.
Even though we tend to use Phantom Limb as espresso in the two Huckleberry cafes, most often for straight shots and the smaller milk beverages, it’ll still taste great as a brewed coffee at home. Expect floral undertones, tangy brightness, and jammy, fruity sweetness, .
Current Blend: All Ethiopia Aramo Cooperative: Washed + Natural Blend
Current Tasting Notes: red grape and blackberry, lemon brightness, floral aromatics, cocoa.
Many people suffer from phantom pain, limb loss or limb difference (including customers of ours) and therefore with every purchase of this blend we try to raise awareness and money by donating a portion of proceeds to local amputee support organizations. All of our coffee blends are named after songs that have significance for our company's history. Phantom Limb is a song by The Shins that was one of the first conversations that Koan and Mark ever had.
Here's a link to one of the three organizations that this blend supports.

Don't call it a dark roast! Okay, okay...we won't.
How about we call it Civitas and say it's "a slightly darker roast with slightly longer development"? Yea, that sounds cool!
In either case, we're excited about this one! Huck has long believed that we should (or could) be just as proud of our darker & more developed coffees, as we are of our lighter offerings.
It just took us a while to find a roast profile that still checked all the boxes for us!
Our Civitas blend is meant for the fan of a full bodied coffee with notes of dark sugars, chocolate, toffee, and a great nuttiness -- not unlike our Blue Orchid Blend, but a hair darker than that.
Civitas is currently a community blend from Nueva Segovia, Nicaragua.

Sergio Enamorado is back at Huck, and this might just be the best harvest we’ve had the pleasure to roast. Last year’s coffee was very good, but had its sparkle dulled by covid-related shipping delays. This year we’re back to full sparkle.
Last winter we had the pleasure of visiting Sergio, and beyond strengthening what had been a WhatsApp texting friendship, it was great to see just how dedicated he and his family are to quality. Sergio's son, Sergio Jr., is just as passionate and almost as knowledgeable as his dad, and the extended Enamorado family works together to make all of their coffees better.
Most of the extended family - grandfather Pedro Moreno, father Encarnación Enamorado, cousin Evin Moreno - live and farm in the village of El Cedral on Santa Barbara mountain. Each family member processes their coffee separately, but they all share the same processing compound and equipment, including a depulper, washing tanks, and parabolic drying beds. Pedro and Encarnación oversee drying and a small nursery for the extended family, and when it comes time to harvest one family member's farm or another, Sergio's able to lean on Evin for help, and vice versa.
There's plenty to love in this coffee, whether you flock to the fruity and bright or prefer more traditional Latin American flavors that pair well with milk. This year’s harvest has plenty of molasses-like sweetness with just a touch of spice, but this year Sergio also further honed his processing techniques, and combined with a quicker arrival to our roastery, that helps his coffee dip its toes into more adventurous waters. Like many producers, Sergio has started to keep his coffee in-cherry between picking and depulping, and over the years he’s fine-tuned this method to bring out some delicious fruity acidity that reminds us of pomegranate and green grape.
Sergio is our final Central American release from the 2022 harvest, and this year might be his most delicious yet. Sergio's harvest was relatively small, too, so it'll be here for a good time, not a long time.

We love coffee for a lot of reasons. We love the flavors of a cup that's been sourced, roasted, and brewed with care, and we love sitting down with friends and a few mugs. Most of the time, we love that subtle kick of caffeine, too.
Sometimes though, we like to have a bit of coffee when we're already way too wide awake, so offering a great decaffeinated coffee is important to us at Huckleberry. Skeleton Key is the same decaf coffee that we serve in both of our Huckleberry's cafes, and we're finally bagging it for you to bring home and enjoy after dinner, or whenever you're craving coffee without the jitters.
Skeleton Key is a seasonally-rotating coffee chosen for versatility, roasted to work with or without milk, as espresso or brewed coffee.
In the past we’ve always roastedSwiss Water Processed or Mountain Water Processed beans for Skeleton Key, but over the past few years a new process, using sugarcane-derived ethyl acetate, has become an increasingly prevalent and chemically-safe alternative. And while water process can only occur at two plants in the world, in large batches, Colombian producers can produce sugarcane decafs in-country, in smaller batches.
The current version of Skeleton Key is a sugarcane-processed decaf from Cauca, Colombia, with a touch of fruit and all the chocolate, caramel, and sweet nuttiness we always highlight in Skeleton Key.

Peru is one of the most promising coffee producing countries in the world right now, with both loads of quality and tons of untapped potential. With the world’s second highest mountain range running North-South through the country, Peru has the altitude to continue producing great coffee in the face of global warming, the country has largely embraced organic farming practices, and as the coffee industry works to single out small farmers from the country’s tradition for large, regional lots, we’re tasting some true gems. This is year 3 for us showcasing Mavila Peralta's delicious coffee.
Each year, Huckleberry purchases a relatively large (for us, at least) amount of coffee from smallholder farmers in the village (or aldea) of Laurel, outside of Jaen. Aldea Laurel is a great coffee in its own right, and forms the backbone of Blue Orchid and Sound and Vision, but we also have the chance to taste coffee from some of the group’s best individual farmers.
Mavila's coffee is a dependable balance of approachable, milk-friendly flavors and subtle fruit. For this third year at Huck, we’re tasting milk chocolate, dried berries, and golden delicious apple in our mugs. The fruit’s there, but it’s the backseat driver to the chocolate.
We’re excited to work towards to the future with Mavila, the other farmers in Laurel, and Origin Coffee Lab, an exporter dedicated to transparency, farmer assistance, fair pricing, and full traceability. While great farm location, varieties, and farm practices are undeniably a huge factor, there’s always some level of chance when it comes to microlot-quality coffee. So it’s important to us to not just cherry-pick from the top, but also support growers at a level that’s a bit more attainable without the fortune of good luck. This is our ideal purchase model, and close to what we strive for in other origins like Guatemala: commit to buying coffee from a group of farmers at a level they can consistently attain, and showcase the gems.
Mavila's coffee is just sweet and approachable, but complex enough to keep things interesting, and it's great to have this everyday drinker back for year 3.

We hope you're excited for one of the more wild offerings we have put on our menu, sourced through our friends at La Reb (La Real Botánica Expedición, the folks behind our Skeleton Key decaf and several Colombian coffees)!
Many of the flavors in coffee come from the fermentation step in its processing, when sugars and other compounds in the cherry break down and impact the flavors in the seed we roast. Changes to the fermentation environment can create some major changes in the cup.
In this fed-batch washed process, half of the coffee is fermented in cherry then pulped and placed in the fermentation tank to begin their fermentation process. The second half of the coffee undergoes the same process and is added later for extended fuel (i.e. sugar) for the biome that has begun to grow in the already-fermenting first half of coffee’s sugars.
All this leads to a super bright and fruity cup. When done well, washed coffees with extended (and in this case, atypical) fermentation processes can be some of the most unique coffees on the market, and we think Javier and Arlisson Cortés have created quite an interesting coffee in Colina del Viento (The Windy Hill). Between the syrupy sweet grape candy notes and the mulled wine, this coffee will expand your horizon in what you thought coffee’s supposed to taste like.
This one’s a complex ride for sure, and one of the funkier coffees we’ll carry this year. If you expect Colombia to mean straightforward and approachable (or if that’s what you’re looking for), this one will defy those expectations a bit. Expect intense fruit, a bit of booziness, and a unique experience here. It’s a small lot that we think will go pretty quickly, so hop on soon if you want to try something different!

Last year, Mapendo was our first coffee from the Democratic Republic of Congo in over five years, and it's back for round two with a combination of spicy sweetness and dried fruit flavors. It’s a great coffee for warming up in the winter, but with a balanced dose of the brightness we love in washed African coffees.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is notorious for being one of the world’s most resource-rich, but poverty-stricken and politically-turbulent countries in the world, and Mighty Peace Coffee is a new venture of passionate coffee folks in DRC and the United States who aim to use coffee as a small engine for progress in Congo's coffeelands. Mighty Peace is a woman- and minority-owned social enterprise, and their team in DRC is headed by Linda Mugaruka, an agronomist and Congo’s first Q-Grader, dedicated to elevating coffee quality and coffee prices for farmers in Congo.
Mapendo is a quality-focused subgroup of the larger Muungano Cooperative, organized in conjunction with Linda and the team at Mighty Peace. Mighty Peace works with the Mapendo group to improve yields, improve quality, and connect the group to roasters who will pay better prices for tasty coffee. This year, the Mapendo group separated out coffee from farms higher than 1700 meters above sea level, which further boosts the tastiness.
This harvest from Mapendo, combined with some careful roasting by the team at Huck, has some serious cozy-up-by-the-fireplace vibes. It’s bright, like our favorite washed African coffees, but that orange-like acidity is a bit mellower, and the subtle citrus is mellowed out with notes of sweet dried fruit and spicy-sweet molasses.

Bright, floral, complex and full of stone fruit flavors, the Aramo Cooperative delivers another dope washed Ethiopia to the Huck roastery!
Aramo is one of the 22 cooperatives that make up the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union, and we’ve been roasting up their coffee since 2019. YCFCU is a longstanding leader in organic farming and sustainable agriculture in Ethiopia, and while Huck roasts coffees from both private washing stations and cooperatives, we’re always happy to support YCFCU. For the second year in a row, we’re featuring coffees from Aramo in both our Phantom Limb blend and our single origin lineup. All of the coffees we sourced this year are delicious, but this single origin lot got a touch of extra sorting, and is the creme of our Aramo creme this year.
The Aramo Cooperative sits in the kebele (village) of the same name, above the famous Yirgacheffe woreda. Over 2000 farmers deliver cherry to the cooperative, where the coffee is depulped, washed, dried, stored, and sorted under the watchful eye of cooperative manager Negusse Hordfa. In addition to Negusse and cooperative members’ attention, Aramo is one of the highest cooperatives in the region, with farms ranging from 1800-2000+ meters above sea level. Altitude is far from the only factor, but it certainly contributes to the amazing flavors in the cup
We’re tasting ripe nectarine, rose-dominated florals, lemondrop candy in this gem from Aramo, and are stoked to showcase this coffee as our second washed Ethiopia of 2022!

Raro Nansebo is our final natural Ethiopia of the the 2022 harvest, and despite a temporary change in name and some specific details, the Raro Nansebo Washing Station and Sookoo Coffee have been mainstays at Huck for the past 3 years.
Over the past several years, Sookoo Coffee has gained well-earned notoriety for producing some of Ethiopia's best naturals. Sookoo means gold in the Guji region's Afaan Oromo language, and Sookoo Coffee focuses exclusively on naturals in the Guji region - no washed coffees, just coffee dried in its fruit. And that focus pays off.
Raro Nansebo is Sookoo's second station, and we've been roasting its coffee since the 2019-2020 harvest. After making a name for themselves with the Odo Shakisso station a bit further west in Guji, Sookoo expanded into the Guji Uraga area, building the Raro Nensebo station and working with smallholder farmers in the surrounding area. Last year, we roasted a Raro Nansebo lot specifically from Doodissi community, and named it accordingly, but in a small harvest where those smaller separations didn't make sense, we're happily back to a coffee from the full group of farmers who deliver to Raro Nansebo.
Big fruit is the big draw in most naturals, and the florality we love in washed Ethiopias often gets masked by the berries. In the best cases though - which seems to be the norm for Raro Nansebo - floral aromatics get to join the fruit punch. This year we're tasting tropical fruit, lavender-like florals, a touch of almond or amaretto, and of course, mixed berries.
