Phantom Limb Blend
$ 17.00
Phantom Limb is the wilder of Huckleberry’s two blends. We designed the 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 jammy, fruity sweetness, tangy brightness, and a syrupy body.
Current Blend: Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Aramo Washed, Ethiopia Danse Mormora 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 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 Pocos de Caldas and a washed coffee from smallholder farmers in the La Coipa area of Peru's San Ignacio province.

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.

COTM: Ethiopia Wolichu Wachu
$ 18.50 $ 20.00
Wolichu Wachu is our second coffee from the Uraga area of Ethiopia's sky-high Guji Zone, and was one of our favorite washing stations from our visit to Ethiopia this past winter. Wolichu is our coffee of the month for November!
This area of Guji is a relatively new player in the specialty coffee scene. The area has amazing growing conditions, and has had the potential for great coffee for a while now, but is exceedingly remote and difficult to reach. Coffee buyers weren't visiting, there was a lack of infrastructure and investment due to lack of name recognition. So, a good amount of coffee from Guji was moved over to Yirgacheffe and sold under the name of Ethiopia's most famous coffee region.
Luckily, thanks in part to some changes in Ethiopia's regulatory structure and the way coffees are sold, washing stations from Guji are now seeking a name for themselves and the coffees have been among our favorites for the past few years.
Wolichu Wachu is a beautiful station, and was among our favorite places we visited in Ethiopia. The coffee is beautiful, too - complex and delicate. We're tasting melon, nectarine, and earl grey tea with a bit more bergamot than usual in our third washed Ethiopia of 2019.
