This is a dark roast blend with a silky mouthfeel. The coffee features flavor notes of semi-sweet chocolate, caramel, and toasted hazelnut. The blend is described as full of verve and charisma with smooth, seductive characteristics.
Voyager Craft Coffee started as a coffee trailer in San Jose, founded by Sameer Shah and Lauren Burns and built into a roasting operation around a 15 kilogram Giesen. The company has remained entirely self funded as it has grown, sourcing single origin coffees from Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ethiopia, and Colombia through direct trade relationships with farmers. Voyager reports paying roughly three times the commodity price for its arabica coffee. The operation pursues zero to landfill goals, composting used coffee grounds and donating leftover food. It is a roaster that has chosen deliberate, local growth over rapid expansion, keeping its footprint rooted in Santa Clara County.
