A natural processed coffee from Finca El Diviso in Bruselas - Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, grown at 1750 meters elevation. Produced by Jose Uribe Lasso and the Lasso family, who founded the farm to discover new methods of improving Colombian coffee quality through rigorous experimentation with processing and fermentation. Tabi is a Colombian hybrid variety, a cross of Bourbon, Typica, and Timor Hybrid, bred for high quality and leaf rust resistance.
Elevator Coffee was founded in 2016 by Jay Sycip and Andrew Coe in Portland, Oregon. Coe, the head roaster and coffee buyer, won the 2023 U.S. Coffee Roasting Championship and placed third at the World Coffee Roasting Championships in Taipei the same year. The roastery previously operated a cafe in SE Portland until Fall 2020, then pivoted to a wholesale and online model, roasting to order and shipping weekly. A 96 point Coffee Review score ranks it among the top roasters in the Northwest. The ethos is summed up in a tagline: roasted by nerds, not snobs.
