Starlight
Blend

Description

The DNA Blend just changed to Starlight Blend, which remains the same great blend, just a different name. This blend consists of a combination of Colombian and Ethiopian coffees. The Colombian part of the coffee blend offers a rich, chocolatey body, while the Ethiopian component cuts through the richness with its bright, apple fruit notes. This blend provides a velvety body and great balance between acidity and sweetness, making the Starlight Blend great for house drip coffee, espresso, or cold brew.

Colombia Nariño (Washed Process):

This delicious coffee comes from a group of farmers from Nariño! These farmers, hailing from the charming regions of Sandona and Chachauy, joined forces to create something truly special. They start with a simple 24-hour fermentation process that each farmer carries out on their own turf. Next, a thorough wash eliminates any residue. On the drying patio, the beans then bask in the sun, forging a consistent profile through mingling and exchanging flavors. This communal drying session ensures a consistent and top-notch profile for each batch. They then let those beans chill in grain pro bags for 125 days before milling — all aspects of the production process create a delightfully sweet Colombian coffee for the Starlight Blend.

Ethiopia Guji Shakiso (Natural Process):

Guji, a unique coffee region that sets itself apart from neighboring areas like Yirgacheffe and Sidama, produces distinct coffee varieties native to the landscape with a balanced, complex flavor profile that comes with them. Although it’s a rural location with accessibility challenges, woredas (districts) in Guji like Shakiso have still made names for themselves in the global market with a reputation for fantastic coffees.

The Sawana Washing Station, at 1,800 to 2,200m, is a prominent hub for processing Shakiso green coffee, whether it’s with the natural or washed process. The coffee cherries for this lot were sourced from smallholders in the community.
