This is a medium roast blend from Nicaragua, Colombia, and Rwanda. The coffee is grown at altitudes between 1500-1900 meters and processed using the washed method. The flavor profile features rich chocolate, toffee, walnut, baking spices, and a hint of plum. The coffee is deeply caramelized with a chewy, chocolatey body, particularly suited for immersion brewing methods like French press and Aeropress.
Kimberly Zash and Sara Gibson founded Sightseer Coffee in Austin, Texas in 2022 after meeting at Greater Goods Coffee, where both held roles spanning head roaster, green buyer, QC specialist, and trainer. Sightseer sources 100 percent of its coffee from women farmers and producers, paying prices significantly above fair trade rates. The sourcing goes beyond checking a box: Zash and Gibson look for producers investing in quality and sustainability, supporting projects like the Forest Academy in Colombia for regenerative farming. They roast on a 25 kilo Diedrich CR 25, bringing the same technical rigor from their previous careers to every batch. Imbibe Magazine named Sightseer one of its 75 Places to Watch.
