About This Coffee

This two-time Golden Bean award winner is a blend of 80% Guatemala La Senda (Champagne Yeast Natural) and 20% Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Natural. The Guatemala La Senda coffee is processed with the addition of champagne yeast, which brings out notes of mangosteen, and is slowly dried for five weeks to allow exotic tasting notes to develop. The Yirgacheffe Natural from Dumerso offers a distinctive blueberry flavor that adds depth and complexity. Sourced from the Acatenango region in Guatemala and Yirgacheffe in Ethiopia, grown at 1700-1800 meters elevation. The blend features Pache and Heirloom varieties and is roasted to a medium level, designed to deliver a sweet, fruit-forward espresso experience.

Vigilante Coffee

Vigilante Coffee started in 2012 on Chris Vigilante's back porch in Washington, DC, with a used three kilogram Diedrich roaster. From that modest beginning, the company grew into a roasting operation now built around a 12 kilogram Loring, with head roaster Franklin Ventura shaping the roast profiles since 2014. Sourcing is personal: Vigilante visits each coffee producer directly, building multiyear relationships and participating in auctions at origin. The company works with Certified B Corp importers and pursues zero waste across its operations, using compostable bags and recyclable packaging. Vigilante earned the Slow Food DC Snail of Approval, a designation that reflects its commitment to quality, transparency, and responsible production.
