This coffee is produced by the Portillo family at Finca Corintio in Honduras. It is a washed Icatu variety, handpicked at peak harvest with a sugar content between 20-25° Brix. The processing involves dry fermentation in open-air pools for 24 hours, followed by depulping and an additional 28 hours of fermentation. The beans are then washed and dried on unshaded patios for 12 days. This coffee offers a clean, fruity, and refreshing profile with tasting notes of currants, cranberry, lemon tea, and candied nuts.
Julie and TJ Fairchild's 2003 leap of faith has evolved into Pittsburgh's most thoughtfully community-centered roasting operation, now spanning seven locations with 65+ employees roasting 2,500 pounds weekly. Their philosophy, inspired by a Walt Whitman poem, centers on creating "solid ground for all" through coffee that serves as genuine neighborhood infrastructure.
