Roaster's Choice - Classic Coffee - 3 Month Subscription
$ 63.45
We get it, we get you. You have your favorite pair of pants, why change them out? You have your daily routines, why switch them up? You have your great friendships, do you really need more? Life is a mystery and enough of a challenge already, your coffee shouldn't add to that; it just needs to be tasty...day in, day out.
What to expect: The coffee will be light-medium to medium brown in color. The beans will come from a single origin and carefully roasted to highlight amazing, classic flavors from that country, region and farm. These are some of our favorite coffees! They'll have big mouthfeel and strong notes of milk chocolate, caramel, roasted almonds to balance out subtle fruit notes. These coffees will be delicious black, but can also stand up to cream (yum!). They will also make a delightful espresso shot! There's nothing wrong with knowing what you like, so enjoy the creature comforts of tasty coffee.

Burundi Mikuba Honey
$ 23.00
It kinda makes us feel old to say it, but this is the eighth year in a row that Huckleberry has roasted coffees from the Long Miles Coffee Project in Burundi. We’ve been with Long Miles since their first harvest in 2013, and look forward to new and innovative coffee from the group every year - this our second harvest roasting a delicious Long Miles honey.
Honey-processed coffees lie somewhere between a washed- and natural-process coffee. The outer layer of the coffee is removed (depulped), but rather than washing off the sticky fruit on the outside of the bean, the coffee is dried with this sticky layer, often called either mucilage or honey, still on the seed. In this case, Long Miles added a couple days of oxygen-reduced fermentation between depulping and drying, and the result is one of the most complex honeys we’ve tasted from any origin, and one of the best coffees of any process we've tasted from Long Miles.
The Long Miles Coffee Project was founded by Ben and Kristy Carlson, an American couple living in Burundi. Upon seeing the difficulties farmers faced while Ben was working as a coffee trader, the Carlsons built two washing stations in the region, and have worked with area farmers to help them fetch better prices. By working with the farmers to develop stringent quality practices at the farm level, then washing and milling the coffee with meticulous care, Long Miles is able to ensure that the coffee is of the highest quality possible. By working with Huckleberry and other roasters who commit to coffees before they've shipped from Burundi, the Long Miles Coffee Project is able to pay the farmers a higher price for their coffee than they would receive on the open market and from other washing stations.
Mikuba is a specific hill near Long Miles' Heza washing station, and this coffee comes exclusively from the Long Miles farmers living on that hill. This is our first year roasting coffee from Mikuba, but we’re stoked to let another hill shine here at Huck.
Mikuba Honey is bright, sweet, fruity, and complex - we're tasting apricot, date, tangerine, and sweet, subtly-floral honey in our mugs!

Ecuador Bosque de Marfil
$ 22.00
Bosque de Marfil is back for its fourth year in the Huck lineup, and we’re excited to brew this one up over the next few months. Black cherry, nougat, macadamia nut and fudge flavors dominate a complex, but sweet and comforting cup.
Bosque de Marfil is the name of a forest in the center of Ecuador’s southernmost Loja province, and the 44 farmers who produce this coffee call this forest home. Sitting high in the Limo mountain range, the bosque provides great shade for coffee production, and abundant natural resources that help these farmers earn secondary income in the months between one coffee harvest and the next.
As is the case with many of our Latin American coffees, we’re excited to source Bosque de Marfil through Caravela Coffee. Caravela helps ensure us dependably great coffees, and provides farmers with access to on-farm assistance plus fair, transparent pricing structures. It’s a win-win, and it makes them one of our favorite partners in Latin America.
As far as the cup goes, it’s a sweet, delicious ride. Cherry cola sweetness, chocolate-molasses sweet-spice, creamy nut notes, and a touch of green apple brightness, with a syrupy body. It’ll hold up to milk just great, and we’ll be brewing it plenty as a single origin espresso, but we’re also jazzed to drink this black - it’s a lively and juicy everyday drinker.

Ethiopia Dooddisi Natural
$ 22.00
The Dood abides...
Dooddisi is our final natural Ethiopia of the the 2021 harvest, and we're closing the season with some serious good-ness! This coffee is juicy, fruity, and just hella delicious, with big flavors of blackberry and chocolate cream, with a hibiscus-like florality that only peaks through the fruit in the best of naturals.
The Dood is a new name in the Huck lineup, but not an entirely new coffee. Think of this as an evolution of last year’s Raro Nansebo, with a bit more fine-tuning.
Ture Waji has become a pretty big name in the world of Ethiopian coffee, gaining well-earned notoriety for producing some of the country's best naturals for the last several harvests. Ture and his family - primarily cousins Eegata and Fedhesa - own and operate Sookoo Coffee. Sookoo means gold in the Guji region's Afaan Oromo language, and Sookoo Coffee focuses exclusively on naturals - no washed coffees, just coffee dried in its fruit. And that focus pays off.
Raro Nansebo is Sookoo's second station, and last year we were lucky enough to roast a phenomenal first harvest. After making a name for themselves with the Odo Shakisso station a bit further west in Guji, Sookoo expanded into the Guji Uraga area, building the Raro Nensebo station and working with smallholder farmers in the surrounding area. This past year, Ture and the team at Raro Nansebo took the extra step of separating coffees from individual communities, and after tasting through several of these community-specific lots, this coffee from farmers in Dooddisi village won us over. We tasted and chose Dooddisi blind (without looking at the name, and tasting it alongside a bunch of other coffees), but after the fact, we certainly enjoy the possibility for Lebowski references.
Big fruit is the big draw in most naturals, and the florality we love in washed Ethiopias often gets masked by the berries. In the best cases though - like this gem from Dooddisi and Raro Nansebo - floral aromatics get to join the fruit punch. It’s just, like, our opinion, man, but we think Dooddisi’s a pretty darn good coffee to round out the 2021 harvest.
