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 de Grama and a washed Peruvian coffee grown by farmers in Laurel village.

Coffee of the Month: Colombia Matambo
$ 16.20 $ 18.00
The landscape of Huila, Colombia is dominated by one giant mountain. Legend has it that long ago, a giant named Matambo lay to rest in Huila, forming the massive mountain that dominates the region's landscape. The nearby town is now known as Gigante, and the coffee from this area - that we’re calling Matambo - has been a giant part of our coffee lineup for the past 3 years.
The best Colombias - and particularly the best Huilas, like Matambo - pull off a balance between approachability and exciting flavors that few other origins can match. This latest crop is a perfect example of that balance, popping with green grape and plum fruitiness, but rounding out the pop with dark honey and buttery pie crust sweetness.
Matambo comes from the 82 farmer Asociación de Cafeteros el Desarollo, and association based in the town of Gigante. We had the pleasure of visiting these growers in August of 2017 with Caravela, one of our favorite sourcing partners who we work with throughout Latin America. Read more about that visit here to see why we're stoked not only for this crop of Matambo, but also the long game with these growers and Caravela in Colombia.
We think Matambo has something for everyone. Plenty of traditional coffee flavors and sweetness for those who prefer a more approachable or milk-friendly mug, but also packing juicy, fruity flavors and high-end brightness to please folks who prefer more adventurous coffees. Year 3 of the giant from Gigante, and we’re looking forward to brewing it for the next few months!

East Timor Renumata
$ 17.00
The Far East is back in Huck’s lineup, and we’re excited for our first coffee from East Timor. This tiny country, on one half of an island split with West Timor, Indonesia, has been on the coffee comeup for the past few years, focusing on fully washed coffees to set it apart from the wet-hulled offerings from Indonesia. Renumata has the rustic spice and heavy body that lovers of coffee from Java will embrace, but also the clean sweetness that we love here at Huck.
Coffees from the Pacific islands can be big, bold, and in better cases, a good kind of earthy. But the wet hulled process that’s common in the region - in which the coffee’s protective parchment layer is removed before drying - lends itself to premature fade and vegetal, funky flavors. So, we specifically seek out washed coffees from the islands, dried in their parchment to preserve the goodness and keep out the funk. That’s where Renumata and upcoming offerings from Papua New Guinea and Sulawesi come in: good earthy spice and body, but clean sweet goodness, too.
Renumata is a tiny community in East Timor’s Letefoho district, and Cafe Brisa Serena has been working with farmers since 2010. Brisa Serena is a social enterprise that works with farmers to improve growing and processing practices, obtain organic certification, and access the specialty market. This particular coffee comes from organic-certified family farms in Renumata, and is all washed on-farm, rather than at a centralized mill.
If you like your coffees robust and bold, this is the ticket. It’s not a dark roast, but we do develop this coffee just a touch further than most of our single origins to accentuate its body, its clove and cinnamon spice, and its bittersweet chocolate flavors. Beyond the big and the bold, chocolate-covered raisin and pastry sweetness round out a cup that’s nuanced, but at the same time traditional, approachable, and pleasing with (cow or alternate) dairy or on its own.

Ecuador Bosque de Marfil
$ 20.00
Ethiopia Abdi Jebril
$ 21.00
Florals! citrus candy, and tropical fruit - it's fresh crop Ethiopia season! We’re stoked to kick off our 2019 Ethiopias with this stellar coffee from Abdi Jebril, and excited to keep it in the family.
Huckleberry has roasted at least one coffee from Ethiopia’s South Guji zone for the past several years, and last year’s Yabitu Koba came from the Hana Asrat Washing Station, owned and operated by Feku Jebril.
This year we’re starting our Ethiopian offerings from one village over, and from Feku’s brother, Abdi. Independent farmers from the village of Larcho Torka deliver their coffee to Abdi Jebril’s washing station, where the coffee is washed, dried, and sorted with the attention detail that must just run in the family. The combination of great growing conditions, high altitude, Ethiopian varieties, and meticulous processing yields another gem from South Guji.
Larcho Torka is fairly remote, so we didn't have time to visit Abdi's washing station during our trip to Ethiopia this winter, but we were lucky enough to meet Abdi in Addis Adaba. His coffee is sparkling, clean, and sweet - the perfect start to Ethiopia season. This coffee has enticing floral aromatics,and we’re tasting a bright fruit cocktail of kiwi, melon, and citrus candy.

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, with chocolatey and nutty sweetness and a round body. It works well as espresso or drip, with or without milk, and we only use Swiss Water Processed or Mountain Water Processed beans.
The current version of Skeleton Key is a Mountain Water Processed coffee from Peru.

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 Ethiopian 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 Cachoera da Grama, 40% Guatemala AProCafé El Grano, 10% Ethiopia Ardi

Uganda Sipi Falls (Washed)
$ 19.00
Last year we made the leap and bought our first ever Ugandan coffee. This year, we took it a step further, going all in with offerings from the Sipi Falls region of Uganda.
Like last year, we’re calling this coffee Sipi Falls. It’s a washed coffee, processed at the Chema washing station following a special preparation, similar to most of our washed coffees from Central America: cherries are depulped, coffee is (dry) fermented to allow the sticky layer of honey or mucilage to break down, the mucilage is washed, and the coffee is dried on raised beds. Chema Station usually uses an eco-pulper to wash the coffees without fermentation, then dries in a mechanical dryer. So in many ways, this special prep washed Sipi Falls is very similar to the coffee we roasted last year.
But, even though we didn’t change the name (we thought about calling it Gamatui, but figured we ought to leave it easy-to-pronounce), this coffee represents a step up from last year. This year’s coffee (all of Huck’s Sipi Falls lots) comes specifically from growers in the village of Gamatui. Amongst all of the communities delivering coffee to the Chema station, Gamatui is the highest, and this altitude brings the complexity we’d expect.
This year’s washed Sipi Falls has crisp tangerine brightness and a fruity sweetness reminiscent of canteloupe or Peach-O candy, rounded out by a creamy, buttery mouthfeel. We loved last year’s Sipi Falls, and think this year’s is a touch more refined.
Beyond this delcious washed lot, we’ll also be roasting a natural from the Chema station and Gamatui growers, and a tiny amount of honey-processed coffee (only available on our website and at our two cafes). Last year Sipi Falls was very good, and to be honest, that was enough to change our perception of Ugandan coffees. This year the coffee took it up a notch - we’re looking forward to roasting and brewing some delicious Ugandan coffee this year, and looking forward to long term excellence from exporter KAWACOM, the Chema washing station, and the farmers in Gamatui village.

Uganda Sipi Falls Honey
$ 19.00
Last year Huck bought and roasted it’s first-ever Ugandan coffee. This year, we took it a step further, going all in with offerings from the Sipi Falls region of Uganda. In addition to stellar washed and natural lots, we only have a tiny bit of this honey-processed lot from the same producers.
Like our washed Sipi Falls lot this year and last, this coffee comes from the greater Sipi Falls region, and is processed at the Chema Washing Station. But, this coffee is a bit more specific, coming exclusively from growers in the village of Gamatui. Amongst all of the communities delivering coffee to the Chema station, Gamatui is the highest, and this altitude brings complexity and deliciousness in all of Huck's Sipi offerings.
In the most basic terms, honey is the middle process. Natural coffees are picked, then dried in their fruit. Washed coffees have both the coffee cherry skin and all the fruity pectin material (mucilage or honey) cleaned off before drying. For the honey process, the cherry skin is depulped, but the coffee is dried with the honey-like inner fruit still on the bean. There are plenty of variations on any of these processes, but them's the basics.
Sipi Honey strikes a nice balance between the intense fruit of the natural and the super clean, slightly brighter washed coffee. We're tasting sweet peach cobbler, amaretto liqueur, and dried fruit, with a touch of orange zest and an appropriately honey-like body.
We only have a few roasts of this, so get it while you can!
