Roaster's Choice - Classic Coffee - 6 Month Subscription
$ 126.90
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!

Colombia El Desarollo
$ 21.00
El Desarollo is back - one of our favorite coffees for the last 6 years. While we called this coffee Matambo for a few years, it's always come from the El Desarollo Growers Association, and this group of farmers has produced a coffee that's deeply sweet and subtly complex, year-after-year!
The best Colombias - and particularly the best Huilas - 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 red berry and green apple fruitiness, but rounding out the pop with dark honey and buttery pie crust sweetness.
This past December our head roaster, Shelby, visited El Desarollo with Caravela, one of our favorite sourcing partners in Latin America. This was Huck's second visit to Gigante de Huila, and we're continually impressed with the coffees, and the people behind the coffees. Plus, this year we're also gonna have something special from one of the growers within the El Desarollo association, Dario Rodriguez. So keep your eyes peeled for a limited release in the lineup this summer!
Dario's coffee's gonna be dope, but so is El Desarollo in its own right. We think it 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 6 of this gem from Gigante, and we’re looking forward to brewing it for the next few months!

Guatemala Monte de Oro
$ 21.00
Mario focuses on honey-processed and natural coffees, and for the first 3 years, we were stoked to roast his honey process on its own. But, on a visit to Guatemala just before covid, it was hard to ignore the goodness of his naturals, too. When some other buyers backed out of commitments at the start of this pandemic, it created an opportunity to try something different.
With Mario's blessing, this is the second harvest blending his two processes together. Mario’s creamy and sweet black honey pairs with his jammy and berry-forward natural to create a blend that we think is the best of both worlds. Big body, big sweetness, and fruit that’s plenty present, but not quite as overpowering as it can be in a full natural.
