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 Ethiopian 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 Cachoera da Grama, 40% Guatemala AProCafé El Grano, 10% Ethiopia Ardi

* VERY LIMITED * Colombia Israel Hernandez GESHA
Sold Out
A bit more about Israel Hernandez. He has been farming since 2005, and purchased his first Gesha trees in 2016. When we tasted his coffee at Caravela's Rioblanco warehouse on our visit two summers ago, we were floored by the coffee's florality and clean tropical flavors. It stood out not just among the more traditional varieties (which were clean and delicious, too!), but also stood head and shoulders over a few other Geshas -- some of which, speaking truthfully, were less delicious than the traditional varieties.
Now that we finally have this crop here in Denver, we're still equally impressed. This coffee is delicate, with notes of elderflower, clementine, and tropical fruit. It's a unique coffee that won't last too long (for this season), and we're stoked that it's not just delicious, but also builds on a longterm partnership with growers in Rioblanco.
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 de Grama and a washed Peruvian coffee grown by farmers in Laurel village.

Coffee of the Month: East Timor Renumata
$ 15.50 $ 17.00
Renumata is brand new to us, and is our March Coffee of the Month
The Far East is back in Huck’s lineup, and we’re excited for our first coffee from East Timor. This tiny country, on one half of an island split with West Timor, Indonesia, has been on the coffee comeup for the past few years, focusing on fully washed coffees to set it apart from the wet-hulled offerings from Indonesia. Renumata has the rustic spice and heavy body that lovers of coffee from Java will embrace, but also the clean sweetness that we love here at Huck.
Coffees from the Pacific islands can be big, bold, and in better cases, a good kind of earthy. But the wet hulled process that’s common in the region - in which the coffee’s protective parchment layer is removed before drying - lends itself to premature fade and vegetal, funky flavors. So, we specifically seek out washed coffees from the islands, dried in their parchment to preserve the goodness and keep out the funk. That’s where Renumata and upcoming offerings from Papua New Guinea and Sulawesi come in: good earthy spice and body, but clean sweet goodness, too.
Renumata is a tiny community in East Timor’s Letefoho district, and Cafe Brisa Serena has been working with farmers since 2010. Brisa Serena is a social enterprise that works with farmers to improve growing and processing practices, obtain organic certification, and access the specialty market. This particular coffee comes from organic-certified family farms in Renumata, and is all washed on-farm, rather than at a centralized mill.
If you like your coffees robust and bold, this is the ticket. It’s not a dark roast, but we do develop this coffee just a touch further than most of our single origins to accentuate its body, its clove and cinnamon spice, and its bittersweet chocolate flavors. Beyond the big and the bold, chocolate-covered raisin and pastry sweetness round out a cup that’s nuanced, but at the same time traditional, approachable, and pleasing with (cow or alternate) dairy or on its own.
