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.

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.

Costa Rica El Cedral Natural
$ 23.00
Our other CoopeDota coffee, Santa Maria, is grown on multiple smallholder farms, and is a more traditional, though equally delicious cup. In contrast, El Cedral is a single plot, collectively owned by all of CoopeDota, that operates as an experimental model farm to help individual farmers learn better growing and processing practices. It's among the higher plots of land in the area, and the naturally-processed coffees have been clean, sweet, and jammy year after year.
Ethiopia Aramo
$ 20.00
It’s been a couple years, but Aramo is back at Huck! We’ve been looking forward to coffee from the Yirgacheffe Coffee Famers Cooperative Union. This washed coffee is deliciously floral and refreshing, and we’re also looking forward to using Aramo Natural in Phantom Limb and a single farmer natural from the cooperative union this year!
Aramo is one of the 22 cooperatives that make up the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union, a longstanding leader in organic farming and sustainable agriculture in the region. While Huck roasts coffees from both private washing stations and cooperatives, we’re always happy to support YCFCU, and incorporate their coffees into our single origin lineup or Phantom Limb whenever we can. Last year at YCFCU was tough, and we weren’t able to buy any of their coffee, largely due to leadership changes at the Union. But with Erkehun Woldegiorgis taking over as managing director, YCFCU seems to be climbing back from its challenges, the coffee is delicious, and we’re excited to support and showcase cooperative-produced coffee in our lineup.
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 yellow peach, assorted florals, sweet tea, and tangerine in this gem from Aramo, and are looking forward to showcasing this coffee on its own for a few months, and using it as the backbone for Phantom Limb for a bit longer. Aramo is the second of several washed Ethiopias we’ll roast up this year, it’s tasty af, and we’re excited that Aramo cooperative and YCFCU are on the come-up again!

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.

GESHA Two Pack: Guatemala + Colombia
Sold Out
Each year, around the holidays, we love to roast, brew & serve up a bit of Gesha, a special variety of coffee that bursts with floral & fruity goodness. Here's your chance to try two at the same time!
Gesha (or sometimes Geisha, depending on who you ask) is a coffee variety native to Western Ethiopia, but it’s become famous in Latin America. Starting with the 2004 Panama Cup of Excellence, Gesha has been winning national coffee and international barista competitions ever since, thanks to its intense floral and citrus flavors.
While there’s no shortage of established farms producing great examples of this variety, and we certainly could have gone Gesha hunting, it’s important for us to seek out special coffees from within existing partnerships, and Gesha is no exception to that goal.
We're onto our 4th delicious year of Israel Hernandez's award-winning Gesha from Rioblanco, Tolima, Colombia, and this is the first Gesha harvest from longtime partners AProCafé, based around the shores of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala.
Your window is limited - we have significantly less Aprocafé than Izzy - but here's your chance to try them both at the same time. As long as we have both coffees, this two pack will save you $5 off of buying the coffees separately.
This two pack includes 1 x 8 oz bag of Colombia Israel Hernandez Gesha and 1 x 8 oz bag of Guatemala AProCafé Gesha. If you're feeling fancy, why not double up?

GESHA: Colombia Israel Hernandez
$ 28.00
The award-winning Israel Hernandez Gesha is back!
Each year, around the holidays, we love to roast, brew & serve up something a little extra-special that bursts with floral & fruity goodness. And, this is our fifth year roasting up this beautiful Colombian coffee from Israel Hernandez. We feel like a broken record sometimes, but each year seems to get better than the last.
Gesha (or sometimes Geisha, depending on who you ask) is a coffee variety native to Western Ethiopia, but it’s become famous in Latin America. Starting with the 2004 Panama Cup of Excellence, Gesha has been winning national coffee and international barista competitions ever since, thanks to its intense floral and citrus flavors.
While there’s no shortage of established farms producing great examples of this variety, and we certainly could have gone Gesha hunting, this Gesha speaks to something foundational to HUCK’s larger mission -- it’s important for us to seek out special coffees from within existing partnerships, and Gesha is no exception to that goal.
Israel Hernandez grows coffee & farms near the remote town of Rioblanco, and is a member of the ASCAFUR Association, which is one of two groups behind HUCK’s long-running favorite, Colombia Las Brisas. When HUCK visited Colombia in 2017, we had the chance to taste Israel’s first ever harvest of Gesha -- it was so tasty that we committed to purchase it on the spot. That harvest was just a few previous pounds of coffee, but we’ve sourced and roasted both Israel’s Gesha and Colombia Las Brisas every season since!
Last year brought some affirmation of that deliciousness, when Israel won 4th place in Colombia’s Cup of Excellence! This is a huge accomplishment for any coffee farmer, and we feel lucky that we can continue to work with Israel, even after that success and the international acclaim. This year we’re tasting jasmine and lavender-esque florals, honeydew melon, a touch of berries, and citrus candy.
It’s arguably our best coffee of 2021, from any origin. What a way to celebrate the holidays and ring in another year of delicious coffee!
Extras!
- We're also roasting a Gesha from longterm partners at AProCafé in Guatemala, and while their time together is limited (there's much less of the Guatemala), we're offering the two coffees together as a two-pack right here, as long as we have both coffees to roast.
- And this fancy coffee is part of a bigger sourcing picture: Israel is one of the farmers behind Las Brisas. We think tasting multiple coffees from the same folks is a good time, so we'll give you 15% off any size bag of Colombia Las Brisas you pick up at the same time as Israel's Gesha! Just use code IZZYBRISAS at checkout.
GESHA: Guatemala AProCafé
Sold Out
Each year, around the holidays, we love to roast, brew & serve up something a little extra-special that bursts with floral & fruity goodness. And, this year, our partners from the AProCafé el Grano Growers Association on Lake Atitlán in Guatemala are joining the party!
AProCafé, the association behind familiar HUCK coffees like Atitlán el Grano, Don Zabala & Doña Lucinda, is one of Huck’s longest, most hands-on sourcing relationships. We got the smallest, sneak peek taste of their Gesha from the group last year -- it was so tasty that we have been waiting patiently ever since! 2021 is the first harvest that’s big enough to share with you.
Most of the coffees from AProCafé skew towards sweet chocolate with pops of subtle fruit -- this Gesha is a bit of a curveball. The first few sips taste of delicious yellow plum and lemon cream, with subtle florals and pastry-like sweetness rounding out the rest of the cup.

Starting with the 2004 Panama Cup of Excellence, Gesha has been winning national coffee and international barista competitions ever since, thanks to its intense floral and citrus flavors.
While there’s no shortage of established farms producing great examples of this variety, and we certainly could have gone Gesha hunting, this Gesha speaks to something foundational to HUCK’s larger mission -- it’s important for us to seek out special coffees from within existing partnerships. Each year a portion of our Sister Winter Blend sales goes back directly to AProCafé, and a few years ago, some of those dollars helped the group purchase its first Gesha seeds. Four years later, we’re tasting the fruits of those seeds, plus plenty of dedicated work from Aprocafé and some careful roasting here in Denver, CO.
Each year we’re excited for growth with AProCafé, and this Gesha makes that relationship even sweeter, and significantly more floral. Invest in people!
Extras!
- This Aprocafé Gesha won't be around for long, but while it is, we're offering it as a two-pack with Israel Hernandez's same variety from Colombia right here.
- And since this fancy coffee is part of a larger sourcing relationship with AProCafé, and we think tasting multiple coffees from the same folks is a good time, we'll give you 15% off any size bag of Atitlán el Grano or Don Pedro you pick up at the same time as AProCafé Gesha! Use code APROGESHA at checkout for the deal.

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 Washed, Ethiopia Chelbesa 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.

Sister Winter Seasonal Blend
$ 20.00
November 1 is our first roast of Sister Winter!
Each year when the temperatures start to dip and we see snow in the mountains, Huckleberry celebrates with our Sister Winter blend. Among other things, winter is a time for gathering with friends and family - maybe over Zoom this year? - sharing good food and warm drinks.
Fittingly, this year's blend is all Aprocafé. We paired washed and natural coffees from the group, forming like Voltron to create a full, bodied, rich, and crowd-pleasing blend. We're tasting dark chocolate, mixed berries and sweet baked goods in this year's Sister.

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.

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 Chelbesa Natural
