All The Coffee
Blue Orchid Blend
$ 16.00
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 Fazenda Cachoeira and Guatemala Aprocafé el Grano.

Civitas Blend
$ 16.00
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.

Good Food Awards Winner! Phantom Limb Blend
$ 17.00
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: Ethiopia Aramo Cooperative Washed, Ethiopia Aramo Cooperative Natural
Current Tasting Notes: raspberry and blackberry, lemon brightness, floral aromatics, subtle 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.
Sound and Vision Blend
$ 17.00
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: 40% Brazil Fazenda Cachoeira, 50% Guatemala Aprocafé, 10% Ethiopia Aramo Natural

Skeleton Key Decaf
$ 17.00
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.

Colombia Las Brisas
$ 19.00
We love the balance of approachability and jaw-dropping flavors that great Colombian coffees can exhibit, and Las Brisas has been one of our favorite Colombians for the past several years running.
Las Brisas is grown by growers in ASOQUEBRADON and ASCAFUR associations, based around the town of Rioblanco, Tolima. This area sits near the juncture of Colombia's three mountain ranges, or cordilleras, and the name Las Brisas refers to the strong winds blowing through the region.
We roast quite a bit of coffee grown by small producers, and in most cases, farmers deliver their coffee in-cherry to to a centralized washing station, where it is processed collectively. Las Brisas and our other Colombian coffees are unique in that smallholder farmers mill, wash, and dry their coffee individually, at their farms.
Individual processing can create challenges for consistency and quality, but luckily our export partner Caravela's regional teams of agronomists and cuppers work together with the growers to improve farming and washing practices, to help ensure that the coffee is delicious. All of the farmers who make up Las Brisas are well-practiced in proper fermentation and washing, and dry their coffees on raised and covered beds for slow, even drying and protection from Colombia's rains.
We've come to have pretty high expectations for this coffee, and 2021's crop delivers in spades. Las Brisas packs plenty of approachable caramel sweetness if you want to put a bit of cream in your cup, but also packs some pear and dried cranberry fruitiness for those of us who seek out a brighter, more exotic cup. Truly a crowd-pleaser!
And, if you're looking for something extra-special, keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming Gesha release from Israel Hernandez, one of the farmers behind Las Brisas.

Ethiopia Mulu Jego Natural
$ 20.00
This one’s big, fruit-forward and juicy! Mulu Jego is a new farmer to the Huck lineup, and she produced our second Ethiopian natural of the 2021 harvest. We’re sipping on jammy berries, fruit punch, and brown sugar sweetness, and are stoked for this coffee to stand alongside Aramo washed, our other delicious coffee from the Yirgacheffe Cooperative Union.
Ethiopia Yabitu Koba
$ 20.00
The Jebril family strikes again! Over the past few years, coffees from the Uraga area in Ethiopia's South Guji Zone - and particularly coffees processed by brothers Feku, Abdi, and Kadir Jebril - have been recurring stars in our lineup. These brothers each own washing stations in South Guji zone, and we've featured a coffee from either Feku or Abdi for each of the past few years. This year, Feku and his washing station in the village of Yabitu Koba won out, and we're stoked to feature this coffee as our third washed Ethiopia of 2021!
Feku Jebril first got involved in coffee as a trader, in a time when coffees from the Uraga area were frequently smuggled into nearby Yirgacheffe to fetch higher prices. After years working as a trader, then working at other washing stations, Feku set out on his own, building the Hana Asrat Washing Station (named after his wife), in the sky-high village of Yabitu Koba. This area has some of the highest growing altitudes in the world, topping out above 2300 meters above sea level, and the complex, bright coffees have become perennial favorites of ours.
We’re stoked on this coffee for its delicate complexity and refreshing sweetness. And while we're generally big believer in you-do-you, this coffee's delicate flavors might be washed out by milk. Brew it how you like, but our top recommendation is to drink it black, and brew it with a paper filter to highlight its clean flavors. We’re tasting peach and cantaloupe, white tea, clean refined sugar, and meyer lemon in this year's crop - refreshing, bright, and delicious!

Guatemala Don Pedro Microlot
$ 21.00
Guatemala Monte de Oro
$ 21.00
Mario focuses on honey-processed and natural coffees, and for the first 3 years, we were stoked to roast his honey process on its own. But, on a visit to Guatemala just before covid, it was hard to ignore the goodness of his naturals, too. When some other buyers backed out of commitments at the start of this pandemic, it created an opportunity to try something different.
With Mario's blessing, this is the second harvest blending his two processes together. Mario’s creamy and sweet black honey pairs with his jammy and berry-forward natural to create a blend that we think is the best of both worlds. Big body, big sweetness, and fruit that’s plenty present, but not quite as overpowering as it can be in a full natural.

Nicaragua Entre Rios
$ 21.00
This is year five for Huck and Alberto Ramos, but just our second year serving his coffee on its own. For several years we happily roasted Nicaragua Las Colinas, from Alberto and his neighbor Alba López, but last year we decided to ask Alberto and the team at Caravela if we could source an even-better, single farm lot. And it’s back for its second turn in our roastery.
Alberto named his farm Finca Entre Rios, because it sits between the San Francisco, San Isidro, and Margaritozo rivers. He's been farming his father's farm since his teens, but purchased his own land in 2007.
Nicaragua is kinda a weird origin, where it's common practice to wash coffee on-farm, then deliver wet coffee to a central drying facility. In most other countries, it's more common to deliver coffee in cherry on the day of picking, or fully washed and dried. Cherry or dried parchment tends to be a bit easier to control, and in many Nicaraguan drying facilities/purchasing stations, there's a big risk that coffee will sit wet too long before drying, developing defects.
We rely on Caravela to connect us with many of our Latin American coffees, and we can depend on them for transparent pricing and consistent quality. In Nicaragua, Caravela has gone all-in to make the most of the country's atypical wet parchment situation, building two drying stations, including Beneficio La Estrella. While the norm in Nicaragua is to dry coffee as quickly as feasible and blend coffees from multiple farms, La Estrella has a huge system of raised, covered drying beds. This makes it easier to both keep small lots of coffee separate, and slows down the drying process, which helps the coffee keep tasting good, for longer.
Alberto's coffee packs plenty of traditional flavors, but also pops a bit more in the cup. We're tasting milk-friendly almond and milk chocolate, with just enough black cherry and apple to make this everyday drinker a bit more interesting.
