Dispatch Coffee

About This Coffee

This community lot from Huila, Colombia is produced by four women farmers: Ederleth Lozano Molina, Arugeny Camacho Ladino, Nohora Sepúlveda de Zambrano, and Sara Díaz de Rodríguez. Grown and processed on farms in the towns of Algeciras and Palermo at altitudes up to 1,670 meters above sea level. The blend consists of Marsellesa, Castillo, Caturra, Cenicafe 1, Colombia, and Papayo varieties. The coffee was picked at peak ripeness, depulped and washed, then fermented for 24-60 hours and dried on raised beds for 7-15 days. This washed process coffee features flavor notes of honey, yellow plum, and candied grapefruit, with a sweet, smooth, creamy, and balanced profile.

Dispatch Coffee

Chrissy Durcak started Dispatch as a cold brew bike delivery service in Montreal before running the city's first coffee truck for two years and finally opening brick and mortar locations in 2014. Today the roastery operates cafes in Montreal and Toronto, with an e commerce and subscription service that by 2022 accounted for nearly half of all revenue, reaching customers across over 400 Canadian cities. Roasting happens in house in Montreal with partner Pat Latreille, and each coffee receives its own personalized profile done in small batches with fresh roasting every week. Sourcing is deeply values driven: by 2020, 73% of coffee came from smallholder farmers, nearly half of their supply chain relationships support women led operations, and the team publishes transparency reports while donating pricing data to Emory University's Specialty Coffee Transaction Guide. Single origin beans come from Colombia, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and Ethiopia, with a mission centered on establishing minimum prices above the cost of production.
