This espresso blend sources beans from Ethiopia, Peru, and Bolivia. The light roast highlights natural sweetness and velvety body with flavor notes of blueberry, vanilla, and dark chocolate. The blend is roasted with precision to preserve richness while minimizing bitterness. It is certified organic, fair trade, and part of the Cooperative Coffees and Carbon Climate Coffee programs. Suitable for pulling straight shots or milk-based beverages like cappuccinos.
Bongo Java Roasting Co. was founded on March 28, 1993 by Bob Bernstein in an 80 year old house turned café in Nashville's Hillsboro Village, making it the city's oldest coffee company. The roastery holds the distinction of being Nashville's first and only Certified Organic coffee roaster, with every bean also carrying Fair Trade certification. All coffee is sourced in small quantities directly from ethical, family owned farms and cooperatives. The wholesale operation has been running since 2000, supplying local coffee shops and grocery stores. Beyond the original café, the Bongo Java family now includes five locations across Nashville and related ventures including Fido and Game Point Café.
