This is a limited-edition single-origin coffee from Huehuetenango, Guatemala. Grown at elevations between 1,600-1,950 MASL by producer Jorge Mendez, this coffee is processed using a classic washed method with 36-hour fermentation and dried on patios for 7-10 days. The beans are Bourbon and Caturra varieties, delivering a medium roast with honey-sweetened nougat, sun-ripened pluots, toasted almonds, and decadent fudge notes. The cup features full, lush, smooth body with low acidity and aromatics of roasted wheat, black tea, and chocolate.
Blind Dog Coffee was founded in 2007 by Mark Berry in Gardnerville, Nevada. Mark developed cancer as a young child that ultimately threatened his eyesight, and by age 49 he became legally blind, ending a 30 year career and prompting him to learn professional coffee roasting. The roastery uses 100% USDA Certified Organic beans with a GMO free, no additives guarantee, and sources ethically in support of fair labour practices. A portion of all proceeds goes to the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation, reflecting Mark's personal connection to childhood cancer. The business operates a roastery headquarters in Gardnerville alongside a coffee shop and café in nearby Minden.
