Best at a light to medium roast. This is a very showy, bright and fruit forward coffee that is just slightly milder than the natural processed. Light roast themselves have a crisp lemony brightness that quickly fades into sweet and winy fruit notes (somewhere between red fruit & blueberry), balancing with a little hint of the spiced chocolate darker tones seen across the board on the Yunnan coffees. A bit sharp but very sweet and fruity. Turns a bit oaky/boozy as the cup cools. Medium roasts build good body and mouthfeel, muting most of the citric tones but not the fruitiness, it cuts right through the more noticeable chocolate and spice tones. Darker roasts are not highly recommended, gets a bit roasty, sweet, with strong spice tones but leaves the cup a bit swampy tasting with the comingled fruit tones.

Regular Price $7.65/Lb
Beautiful prep on the beans & a good cup from light to dark. Our favorite was right in the middle, a nice medium roast won everyone over. A good daily drinker with an exotic spin. Lighter roasts will show some crisp lemony acidity, a sweet edge and will pull a little balance with an herbal/spice chocolate note. Medium roasts (our favorite) were smooth and rich, a bit fuller bodied, just a spec of that sweet citrus upfront, low acidity with predominantly chocolate/malt like tastes, a little spice pokes out in the aftertaste. Dark roasts cut out all the citric but will still taste sweet, a bit roasty, but it compliments the dark chocolate and spice in the cup nicely.Price: $7.65/lb - 6.45/lbPrice: $7.65 -

New Crop!
Best from the lighter side of a medium roast to as dark as you want to go. A bit cleaner tasting but slightly less fruity than previous seasons. Lighter roasting presents some nice honey processed features: citric, floral, soft fruit with an almost oak/peat like finish, sweet & complex but does risk some underdeveloped tones if you nail it a little too light. Medium roasts were our favorite, still balanced and complex but will develop the traditional chocolate and smoky tones for which Dominican coffees are known for – to balance out those more exotic fruity and citric tones. Darker roasts are a little more complex than on the washed processed version, but not as smooth and rich.Price: $8.69/lb - 7.49/lbPrice: $8.69 -

A fun tasty bean from light to dark. Clean enough for lighter roasting, a little jazzy acidity upfront, a bit nutty/caramel and floral. A sweet edged and a smooth cup. Turns into a very robust coffee at the fuller roasts. Fuller bodied with low acidity and very complex semi-sweet darker tones; chocolate, tobacco earthiness, molasses and smoky.

Much cleaner processing this season which is a perk, a point higher rated, but a little less fruity/wild of a cup. Hints of a red fruit at lighter roasts, especially as the cup cools. A bit fuller bodied and on the sweeter side, balanced with the bakers chocolate like earthiness (a good contrast) found in the other Haitian coffees. Lighter roasts will let the exotic profile shine but be a bit punchy with floral and citric tones, risks a grassy tones if you get too close to first crack. Medium roasts were our favorite, better balance with a pronounced chocolaty darker tone along with the more exotic floral and fruit. Darker roasts touching 2nd crack are far less fruity and hold more true to the Haitian profile, a little floral acidity still comes through the cup but strong and smoky with almost no hint of being a slow dry honey processed.

New 2023/24 Crop!
Awesome cup this season, good from light to dark. Darker roasts which are more traditional for Haitian coffee, come off robust and strong with a floral islandy sweet edge and a smoky aftertaste. Bigger bodied and on the chocolaty spicy side of things. Being so clean this cup is great at light to medium roasts as well; hints of lemony floral, crisp, sweet with a more nutty/caramel tone. A little acidity but not enough to push folks away. A lovely daily drinking cup.Price: $9.99/lb - 8.89/lbPrice: $9.99 -

A great medium to dark roast coffee. Full bodied, low acidity, great mouthfeel, robust and strong coffee with hints of a exotic spice. Lighter roasts get a cool semi-floral sweet tone upfront but will pull more towards grassy caramel with a slight hint of herbal spice. As one progresses towards the darker roasts it gets much fuller bodied and creamy with clean chocolate/malt like tastes, a little hint of floral acidity at the full city roast level. Into 2nd crack adds some complimenting roasty/smoky tones that with the fuller body and malty profile, will be quite the tasty treat.Price:Price: $8.99$9.99/lb$8.99/lb -

New Crop!
A great cup! Super clean in its cup characters. Very bright and somewhat fruity at the lighter roasts; citrus, floral and red fruit balanced with just hint of a herbal nutty/caramel factor. Medium roasts get more balanced, not as citric, building a bigger bodied darker tone. The citric turns a little grapefruit like and the nuttiness turns a bit more chocolaty, maintains a lot of depth between the acidity and herbal chocolate/nutty floral notes . Darker roasts get very strong and semi-sweet, think bakers chocolate with herbal accents. A little smoky and roasty but presents nicely for a more exotic dark roast.Price: $8.39/lb - 7.19/lbPrice: $8.39 -

Wonderful light to dark roast beans. Too see it shine, we do recommend a light to medium but there are reasons we can think of to take it darker. A bit thicker and lower acidity for a prime Kenya offering. Lighter roasts are sweet and clean, medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. A pinch of citric accompanied with bolder chocolate notes, a hint of spice in the aftertaste. Medium roasts are full bodied and very rich tasting, lots of complexity to the darker tones, starts picking up some complimenting roasty tones as one gets closer to 2nd crack. Into second crack roasts promotes a bittersweet edge with strong bakers chocolate and dry malt overtones.Price:Price: $6.99$7.99/lb$6.99/lb -

New Crop!
A lovely example of Kenya coffee. Good from light to dark, we recommend a nice medium roast to showcase it. Very bright, punchy and complex at lighter roasts, a bit front loaded with citric/floral but very clean with some balance. A bit hoppy some will say with some spice notes popping out. The lighter tones will pull some balance with a semi-sweet chocolate edge but easily overpowered by the higher acidity when light roasted. Medium roasts build much better balance between the acidity (citric/floral/fruit) and the dark tones (nutty/cocoa/spice) making it less blasty of a cup, easier to drink all day. If you don’t like higher acidity, this is where to start with your roasts. Darker roasts have there place, but will kill some of what separates this cup from “average” Kenyan. Strong and semi-sweet, think bakers chocolate with herbal accents. A little smoky and roasty but presents nicely for a more exotic dark roast.Price: $8.99/lb - 7.79/lbPrice: $8.99 -

New 2023/24 Crop!
A very nice and super fresh batch of their traditional farm aggregate. A little hint of citrus floral upfront balanced with nice complex malty tones. Great everyday drinker at a medium roast, balanced with a sweet edge. A heftier cup at the darker roasts and equally as tasty, fuller bodied with strong malty and smoky tones but still retains that sweeter edge to it.Price: $7.49/lb - 6.29/lbPrice: $7.49 -

Similar to the Sigri coffee these beans are pretty low acidity in the cup, very clean in its profile. Smooth, rich and chocolaty with some spice note accents. Most would call it a pretty sweet chocolaty cup with a bit of spice. Very smooth cupping this year with no herbal tones or earthiness. Medium bodied with a sweeter edge, a cup almost anyone would enjoy. Kind of like a Sumatra coffee without all the earthy funk.

Good from light to dark, very different tasting dependent on roast level. If you are a very fruit forward natural fan, sticking in the light to medium roast level is recommended. Contrary to many naturals, these beans rock at the fuller roast levels as well, touching or into second crack produces a very lively cup, not super roasty with incredible depth of flavor and good balance between light and dark tones.

Good from light to dark. Smooth, big bodied & creamy with semi-sweet chocolate notes, nutty accents and a bit of lingering spice in the aftertaste. Lower acidity cup but will show some floral characteristics at the lighter roast points. A little roasty/smoky tone into second crack but it will compliment the more chocolaty and nutty profile.

Silky smooth and clean. Lower acidity with good sweetness and balance. Chocolaty type cup of coffee with some very cool nutty and spicy herbal accents. If you roast before 2nd crack, which is preferred, one can balance in some melon and fruit acidity into the mix which is a big plus to the depth of flavor.

Best at the light to medium roast level. Good bit of citrus and red fruit upfront balanced with a thicker chocolate and spice note. Light roasts get very jazzy acidity, with just a hint of a dark tone. Floral and sweet edged, with an emphasis on the fruitiness of the cup. Medium roasting is much more balanced, medium to full bodied and far less sharp than the lighter roasts, but also less fruity. More of a chocolaty cup with fruity highlights. Dark roasts get even fuller bodied but burn out some sweetness, taste like semi-sweet chocolate on the roasty/smoky side, thick with a bit of spice in the aftertaste. A hint of fruitiness as the cup cools but hard to tell its natural processed roots at darker roasts.
