This coffee is a single origin from Cumbres Del Poas in Costa Rica's Central Valley, grown at 1400-1600 meters altitude. It is produced by Francisca and Oscar Chacon at Las Lajas micromill using natural processing on raised beds. The beans are Bourbon variety and roasted to a light level. The flavor profile features bright fruit notes including watermelon sugar, lime, orange, and pineapple with floral undertones.
Bard Coffee was founded in 2010 by Bob Garver and Jeremy Pelkey in downtown Portland, Maine, and was named by CNN as one of the country's seventeen best coffee makers. The roastery uses Loring Smart Roast technology, which cuts energy consumption by up to 80% while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Both co owners have visited every single farm featured on the menu, sourcing through a direct trade model that prioritises transparency and support for growers. Bard specialises in single origin coffees roasted in house and received a 2017 Good Food Award for its commitment to building a responsible food system. Bob Garver also co founded Wicked Joe Coffee with his wife Carmen.
