This coffee is a medium roast sourced from Finca Amistad in the mountains of Costa Rica. It is an organic coffee with a clean, juicy cup featuring tasting notes of dried fig and lychee with a creamy finish. The coffee has a bright, balanced acidity and medium, delicate body. The farm is notable for its environmental stewardship, with 97% of the original family estate preserved as protected forest and 6,000 hectares donated to La Amistad International Park.
Blind Dog Coffee was founded in 2007 by Mark Berry in Gardnerville, Nevada. Mark developed cancer as a young child that ultimately threatened his eyesight, and by age 49 he became legally blind, ending a 30 year career and prompting him to learn professional coffee roasting. The roastery uses 100% USDA Certified Organic beans with a GMO free, no additives guarantee, and sources ethically in support of fair labour practices. A portion of all proceeds goes to the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation, reflecting Mark's personal connection to childhood cancer. The business operates a roastery headquarters in Gardnerville alongside a coffee shop and café in nearby Minden.
