A washed coffee from women coffee producers working with the Asprotimana group in Huila, Colombia. The coffee is dense and complex with low acidity and medium-high bitterness. Flavor profile includes rich chocolate truffle, sweet peanut butter, and bitter grapefruit zest notes that contribute a distinct citrus dimension. The finish is complex and long, with chocolate and peanut butter notes melding with citrus bitterness. Medium roast that tastes darker than its color suggests.
Founded in 1983 by Mike McLaughlin, a Richmond schoolteacher, alongside Pete and Bob McLaughlin, this family owned roaster began with a repurposed peanut roaster holding just 10 pounds per batch. Based in Emeryville, California, McLaughlin has evolved into a multigenerational operation with Mike's son Mark rejoining the family business after a career in Silicon Valley tech. The company sources and roasts premium coffee beans with the same precision and care it has maintained since its founding, blending traditional values with modern specialty coffee standards.
