This limited-edition microlot coffee is sourced from the highlands of Jinotega, Nicaragua, at an altitude of 1325 meters. It consists of Yellow and Red Caturra varieties and undergoes a washed process with 15-24 hours of fermentation. The roast level is light-medium, resulting in a bright and juicy acidity with a silky, smooth body. The flavor profile features notes of plum sauce, blueberry, jasmine, pecan, and citrus, with aromatics of rose, saffron, and honey.
Blind Dog Coffee was founded in 2007 by Mark Berry in Gardnerville, Nevada. Mark developed cancer as a young child that ultimately threatened his eyesight, and by age 49 he became legally blind, ending a 30 year career and prompting him to learn professional coffee roasting. The roastery uses 100% USDA Certified Organic beans with a GMO free, no additives guarantee, and sources ethically in support of fair labour practices. A portion of all proceeds goes to the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation, reflecting Mark's personal connection to childhood cancer. The business operates a roastery headquarters in Gardnerville alongside a coffee shop and café in nearby Minden.
