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 Sakaro and Benti Nenka Washed, Kenya Njuriga Washed, Ethiopia Guji Uraga 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.

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 Sitio Santo Antonio and a washed coffee from longterm partners Aprocafé el Grano in Guatemala.

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.

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.

We're closing out 2020 and kicking off 2021 with our first two single origins from Western Ethiopia. While we've traditionally found most of our Ethiopian coffees from Guji and Yirgacheffe, the coffees we've tasted from the west have been increasingly hard to ignore, and Mustefa Natural joins Nano Challa as the fruitier of our first two single origins from Jimma!
Mustefa Abalulessa might have one of the most unique coffee origin stories in Ethiopia, with farm roots in revolution. Abalulessa, Mustefa's father, spent the 1970s as a guerilla leader, fighting against the Derg, Ethiopia's brutal dictatorship at the time, and hid out in the mountains and forests around Jimma. When the Derg finally fell, the family was granted some of the forest Abalulessa called home, as a form of reparations and reconciliation.
Mustefa first made a name for himself as a seed producer, selecting and preparing new seed stock for farmers in the area. He only recently began processing his own coffee for sale, but the meticulous detail required for seed preparation has clearly paid off in the coffee we get to roast.
Mustefa Natural is big-bodied, fruit-forward, and subtly boozy, with notes of blackberry, raspberry, orange liqueur, and brown sugar.
