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: 50% Brazil Sitio Santo Antonio, 40% Guatemala Aprocafé el Grano, 10% Ethiopia Guji Uraga Natural

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

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 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.

Ethiopia Mustefa Natural
$ 21.00
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.
