This coffee is a single origin from the Dominican Republic, specifically from the Jarabacoa region at 1400 meters above sea level. It is made from Red Caturra variety beans processed using the full natural method. The coffee features tasting notes of banana, strawberry jam, and chocolate covered cherry. It is roasted to a medium level and is the 2024-2025 vintage. The beans are sourced from the Ramirez estate, a socially conscious producer that uses fermented coffee cherries to generate natural gas powering their operation.
Ryan Hammond founded Domestique in 2009 as an online only coffee roastery in Granbury, Texas, naming it after the cycling term for the support rider who sacrifices personal glory for the team. Hammond's ties to the cycling world run deep, including work as a soigneur for the Rock Racing professional team. The first brick and mortar cafe opened in August 2012 in a renovated historic building on Granbury's town square, filled with vintage cycling memorabilia. Hammond roasts on a Diedrich, sourcing single origin beans from Central and South America and Africa with a focus on direct trade relationships. The lineup includes blends like Working Class Hero and Dark Domestique alongside rotating single origins.
