First time buying from us, eh?
Making your first purchase from any company involves a bit of questioning and wondering like, "Will I enjoy their products?" and "How will I know which offering is right for me?" This blog will help you answer some of those questions!
When you visit our current offerings page, you'll see eight different bags of coffee. A range of blends, single origins, and even a decaf option! All of our offerings are what we call "specialty coffee"; which is considered the highest grade of coffee available from farm to cup.
We've created a coffee quiz that is designed to help you make a more informed decision based on your likes and dislikes. Feel free to go there whenever!
Now, let's take a deeper dive into our offering and what makes each so special.
My favorite thing about coffee is that there isn’t a one size fits all way to go about it. Some people prefer Starbucks because they like their sugar with coffee and cream, some people are dedicated to their local coffee shop and nothing you say will convince you that any other coffee is better, and some people (like me) enjoy the entire process from farm to roast to cup.
Being a new company, I’d like to introduce you to what we currently have on our roster:
Blends
House Blend
Our House Blend is a great starting point for any coffee drinker! Here you’ll find a medium roast blend of select coffees from Central and South America that has a smooth, clean and consistent flavor cup every time. Our House Blend Features a medium body with tasting notes that include nutty, sweet chocolate, mild citrus, and a clean bright finish. These blended coffees are both natural/dry processed and wet mill washed/sun dried and generally come from high elevation mountains where these coffees are grown.
Explorer Blend
Our motto is to “fuel your adventures” and this blend is the representation of that promise. Our Explorer Blend is a medium-dark roast of select Latin American coffees perfectly blended for full flavor, offering nutty hints with mild fruity tones, and a gentle cocoa aftertaste. Shade grown in the Central American rainforests and in volcanic soil near the Amazon rainforest, these blended coffees make a rich and delicious cup. All beans go through a washed process and are fully sun dried for up to 7 days. This offering is a perfect option to take with you camping, overlanding, or on any adventure.
Cold Brew Blend
If you’re one for perfect cups of Cold Brew coffee every time, look no further. This unique blend makes the perfect, most satisfying cup, specifically blended for cold brew coffee. There are no additives, nothing artificial, just 100% coffee.
Single Origins

This offering is eco-pulped and dried in the sun.

Just in time for the holidays, you’ll find notes of chocolate, cinnamon, and green apple in this single origin from Mexico. This offering is from the region of Chiapas and Oaxaca, grown at an altitude of 900-1000M in a clay minerals soil. This process is fully washed and sun dried.
Peruvian Decaf
Like taste but not the kick? That’s cool. No judgment here... (maybe a little). This decaf hails from Peru with tasting notes of caramel and citrus.
