Orion is a signature espresso blend designed to accentuate the elegance of chocolate and the complex nature of sweet fruit. This tri-blend is rich and silky in body, covering a range of chocolate tones with balancing notes of dark berries and citrus highlights. The blend components are selected to create something greater than their individual parts, with enough complexity to be enjoyed alone and sufficient depth to hold up in milk-based drinks. The elements occasionally change to reflect the seasonality of coffee harvests while maintaining the foundational character of the blend.
Christian Johnson founded Spyhouse Coffee Roasters in 2000 in Minneapolis, and the company became a farm to cup operation in 2013 when it opened a dedicated roasting facility in the city's Northeast arts district. Spyhouse has earned two Good Food Awards, for its Juan Domingo from Guatemala and Dimtu Tero from Ethiopia, and its staff are active across Specialty Coffee Association events and the Barista Guild Executive Council. The roastery was acquired by FairWave Coffee Collective in 2021, expanding its reach while maintaining the sourcing and roasting standards that built its reputation in the Twin Cities over more than two decades.
