A blend of Central American coffees combining light and dark roasts. The light roast brings citrusy high notes, which are balanced by deep, rich elements from the dark roast. Named for the Carrabassett River in Kingfield, Maine, this is a mild blend and one of the roaster's more popular offerings.
Carrabassett Coffee Company was founded on New Year's Eve 1995 by Tom Hildreth and Steve Skaling in Kingfield, Maine, named after the Carrabassett River that runs through the western Maine mountains. The roastery operates a Diedrich IR 12 and sources through direct relationships and specialty importers with a focus on Fair Trade and organic beans. The range leans toward medium to dark roast profiles popular in New England, with USDA Organic certified coffees available. Wholesale accounts include restaurants, lodges, and retail shops throughout Maine, with Sugarloaf Mountain ski resort among the notable partners.
