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 Worka Chelbessa Washed, Uganda Sipi Falls Natural

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.

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 Vereda, 40% Guatemala Aprocafé Atitlán, 10% Ethiopia Riripa Natural

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.
