Jefe de Miel Natural

About This Coffee

This coffee is a blend of two unique Colombian coffees. A honey-processed Caturra from Nariño, grown at 7200 feet, provides acidity and sweetness. The second component is a Caturron variety from Luis Calderón's farm, Villa Betulia, in Huila, which underwent anaerobic and aerobic fermentation. The resulting cup features vibrant notes of red fruit including grape, cranberry, raspberry, and strawberry, blended with bright citrus and tamarind. Sweetness reminiscent of amber honey, raw sugar, and light caramel balances the fruit, leading to a finish of fruit-forward dark chocolate.

Black Oak Coffee Roasters

Black Oak Coffee Roasters was established in December 2012 by Jon Frech and Keith Feigin in Ukiah, California, where they purchased the former Coffee Critic location. The team's primary roaster for the first 11 years was a salvaged 1955 Probat, and head roaster Thomas Chandler uses a blind screening process to evaluate all coffee samples before committing to any selection. The roastery installed a catalytic air scrubber that reduces CO2 emissions from roasting by over 50% and powers roughly two thirds of its electrical usage with renewable energy. Select coffees are sourced 100% from female owned farms and cooperatives, with 10% of profits directed to Grounds for Health, supporting women in coffee growing regions. Black Oak has won the Golden Bean North America overall championship twice and the America's Best Espresso title, and its coffee is featured in Michelin starred restaurants and distributed through Costco.
