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 Fazenda Cachoera da Grama, 40% Peru Aldea Laurel, 10% Uganda Sipi Falls 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 Fazenda Cachoeira de Grama and a washed Peruvian coffee grown by farmers in Laurel village.

Coffee of the Month: Ethiopia Abdi Jebril
$ 19.50 $ 21.00
Ethiopia Abdi Jebril is our Coffee of the Month for June, popping with summery flavors!
Florals, citrus candy, and tropical fruit - it's fresh crop Ethiopia season! We’re stoked to kick off our 2019 Ethiopias with this stellar coffee from Abdi Jebril, and excited to keep it in the family.
Huckleberry has roasted at least one coffee from Ethiopia’s South Guji zone for the past several years, and last year’s Yabitu Koba came from the Hana Asrat Washing Station, owned and operated by Feku Jebril.
This year we’re starting our Ethiopian offerings from one village over, and from Feku’s brother, Abdi. Independent farmers from the village of Larcho Torka deliver their coffee to Abdi Jebril’s washing station, where the coffee is washed, dried, and sorted with the attention detail that must just run in the family. The combination of great growing conditions, high altitude, Ethiopian varieties, and meticulous processing yields another gem from South Guji.
Larcho Torka is fairly remote, so we didn't have time to visit Abdi's washing station during our trip to Ethiopia this winter, but we were lucky enough to meet Abdi in Addis Adaba. His coffee is sparkling, clean, and sweet - the perfect start to Ethiopia season. This coffee has enticing floral aromatics,and we’re tasting a bright fruit cocktail of kiwi, melon, and citrus candy.

Colombia Matambo
$ 18.00
The landscape of Huila, Colombia is dominated by one giant mountain. Legend has it that long ago, a giant named Matambo lay to rest in Huila, forming the massive mountain that dominates the region's landscape. The nearby town is now known as Gigante, and the coffee from this area - that we’re calling Matambo - has been a giant part of our coffee lineup for the past 3 years.
The best Colombias - and particularly the best Huilas, like Matambo - pull off a balance between approachability and exciting flavors that few other origins can match. This latest crop is a perfect example of that balance, popping with green grape and plum fruitiness, but rounding out the pop with dark honey and buttery pie crust sweetness.
Matambo comes from the 82 farmer Asociación de Cafeteros el Desarollo, and association based in the town of Gigante. We had the pleasure of visiting these growers in August of 2017 with Caravela, one of our favorite sourcing partners who we work with throughout Latin America. Read more about that visit here to see why we're stoked not only for this crop of Matambo, but also the long game with these growers and Caravela in Colombia.
We think Matambo has something for everyone. Plenty of traditional coffee flavors and sweetness for those who prefer a more approachable or milk-friendly mug, but also packing juicy, fruity flavors and high-end brightness to please folks who prefer more adventurous coffees. Year 3 of the giant from Gigante, and we’re looking forward to brewing it for the next few months!
