Colombia single-origin light roast coffee cultivated on small family-owned farms and organized through the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia (FNC). Light bodied with high acidity featuring sweet lemon drop notes at the front, candied ginger spice in the middle, and dried cranberry in the finish. Balanced and crowd-pleasing light roast.
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.
