Single-origin coffee from Finca La Bastilla Estate in Jinotega, Nicaragua, grown at 1,300-1,500 meters elevation. This Geisha variety is processed using the honey method and earned an 88-point cupping score. The estate integrates all processes from cherry to export on-site and employs careful quality control and agronomy practices. Flavor profile features fresh blueberry, star fruit, and white grapes.
Elevator Coffee was founded in 2016 by Jay Sycip and Andrew Coe in Portland, Oregon. Coe, the head roaster and coffee buyer, won the 2023 U.S. Coffee Roasting Championship and placed third at the World Coffee Roasting Championships in Taipei the same year. The roastery previously operated a cafe in SE Portland until Fall 2020, then pivoted to a wholesale and online model, roasting to order and shipping weekly. A 96 point Coffee Review score ranks it among the top roasters in the Northwest. The ethos is summed up in a tagline: roasted by nerds, not snobs.
