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.

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 da Grama and a washed coffee from longterm partners Aprocafé el Grano in Guatemala.

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 favorites for the past few years running.
2020 marks Huck's sixth harvest roasting Las Brisas, and each winter we can look forward to a great combination of zippy brightness and deep, balanced sweetness. It's been a few years since we've had the chance to visit the farmers behind this coffee, and to be honest, who knows when travel will be a possibility again, but in the meantime, we're excited for another delicious crop from the town of Rioblanco and the ASOQUEBRADON and ASCAFUR associations.
We've come to have pretty high expectations for this coffee, and 2020'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 pops with green grape and candied citrus flavors 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 Nano Challa
$ 20.00
We're heading west for our third and final washed Ethiopia of the 2020 harvest. While most of our Ethiopian coffees come from Yirgacheffe and Guji in the southern part of the country, coffees from Nano Challa - alongside its sister cooperatives in the Kata Muduga Cooperative Union, Yukro, Biftu Gudina, and Duromina - have become some of the most sought-after coffees in Ethiopia over the past few years.
Our friends at Osito Coffee Importers - who we also work with for coffees from Burundi and Mexico - sent us a set of samples from Kata Muduga earlier this year, and this particular lot from Nano Challa was lights out. Alongside Mustefa Natural, this was one of two great reasons to branch westward in our Ethiopian offerings this year.
The Kata Muduga is one of the newest cooperative unions (a cooperative of cooperatives) in Ethiopia, born out of a joint development project from USAID and Technoserve in the early 2000s. With coffee fairly well-developed (or at least well-known) in Southern Ethiopia. USAID and Technoserve built several washing stations in Western Ethiopia, with the hopes of building up the coffee industry in different parts of the country.
Cooperatives, including Nano Challa, Yukro, and Duromina, among others, formed around these washing stations, and quickly began producing coffees that rivaled the best from Yirgacheffe. While these co-ops started as part of the Oromia Union, a few years ago a handful of them branched out to form Kata Muduga. We've featured lots from Yukro in Phantom Limb the past few years, but this our first time offering one of the Kata Muduga coffees on its own.
This lot from Nano Challa pops. We're tasting juicy clementine and bright red berries, balanced with delicate florals and sweet honey. A great endcap to our 2020 washed Ethiopias, and a great reason to roast up some delicious coffee from Jimma.
