A blend of Tanzanian and Ethiopian coffees created to support Whitelock Community Farm, a Black-led urban farm in Baltimore's Reservoir Hill. This medium roast blend features milk chocolate, blood orange, cherry, and hibiscus flavor notes. The coffee is processed using variety methods and is recommended for filter, cold brew, and AeroPress brewing.
Black Acres was established in 2018 by Travis Bell in Baltimore's Station North district. The Black owned roastery specialises in single origin and blended coffees, roasting all beans in house in small batches and sourcing ethically from South America and Africa with an emphasis on supply chain transparency. The business is part of Ignite Capital's social entrepreneur network and provides training programmes for employees covering coffee knowledge, customer service, and manufacturing. Alongside its retail locations at Open Works and Lexington Market, the roastery offers local Tuesday afternoon deliveries and direct to consumer subscriptions.
