This light roast coffee is from the Chiapas region of Mexico, produced by Nelson Jimenez through the Cafeología partnership. Grown at 1,700 meters above sea level, it features the Caturra variety processed using the washed method. Tasting notes include milk chocolate, nougat, and star fruit. Nelson is a young producer working on his family's small plot, blending traditional practices with innovation and experimentation.
Owen Miller founded East Alstead Roasting Co. in April 2020 from his family home in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire, turning to coffee during the early months of the pandemic. Miller had previously worked with L.A. Burdick Chocolate supporting cacao growers in Grenada and trained at Four Barrel Coffee in San Francisco. The micro roastery specializes in light roast single origin coffees, roasted to bring out sweetness and balanced acidity. Packaging features wood engravings of the New Hampshire landscape created by Miller's father, a detail that earned recognition at the 2024 Specialty Coffee Expo in Chicago.
