This blend combines 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified coffees from Peru and Nicaragua. It is roasted to a medium level and serves as a daily drinker with low to medium acidity and a smooth finish. Named after the Amazon Spider Monkey found in South American rainforests, this is Zolo Coffee Roasters' most popular blend.
ZOLO began in 2013 as a family project by Dave, Laurie, and their son Nick, and has grown into a vertically integrated roasting operation in Berkeley, California. The company handles every step from sourcing to distribution, roasting on Loring machines designed for energy efficiency and low carbon output. ZOLO sources directly from small lot farmers, paying well above commodity prices, and holds Rainforest Alliance certification. Designated as both woman owned and veteran owned, the company donates spent coffee grounds to local farmers for composting, closing the loop on its production cycle. It is a roaster that grew from a family's shared curiosity into a serious, values driven operation.
