This coffee is sourced from the Valle de Cauca region in Colombia, grown by smallholder farmers at an altitude of 1,750 meters. It is a blend of Caturra and Castillo varieties that has been processed using the washed method, followed by an ethyl acetate (sugarcane) decaffeination process. The flavor profile features notes of milk chocolate, orange, and almond. This coffee is offered in a light roast.
Owen Miller founded East Alstead Roasting Co. in April 2020 from his family home in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire, turning to coffee during the early months of the pandemic. Miller had previously worked with L.A. Burdick Chocolate supporting cacao growers in Grenada and trained at Four Barrel Coffee in San Francisco. The micro roastery specializes in light roast single origin coffees, roasted to bring out sweetness and balanced acidity. Packaging features wood engravings of the New Hampshire landscape created by Miller's father, a detail that earned recognition at the 2024 Specialty Coffee Expo in Chicago.
