This is a slightly darker roasted coffee designed to be approachable and versatile. The longer roast profile brings out sweetness and makes it easier to dial in for espresso or drip coffee. It goes exceptionally well with cream and sugar while also being tasty as black coffee. The original roast profile was roasted to 431°F to achieve balanced roastiness without sacrificing sweetness and terroir qualities. The coffee is sourced for consistency and cycled throughout the year based on seasonal availability. Currently featuring coffee from Guatemala with chocolate and dried fruit flavor notes.
Lineage Coffee Roasting was founded in January 2012 by Jarrett and Justine Johnson in Orlando, Florida. The couple started with a retrofitted grill and an ice cream motor powering a 3 kilogram roaster, and within months had upgraded and begun building a reputation for meticulous small lot roasting. By 2015 they were traveling to Guatemala and Colombia to establish direct trade relationships, later expanding those connections into Kenya and Ethiopia. Today Lineage operates three café locations across Orlando, cups and dials in every coffee served, and runs a wholesale program alongside a roasting academy. The hands on approach that began with a homemade setup continues to define the company's identity more than a decade later.
